They do have a major balance of payments problem, so I suppose that
they're trying to address that. It's disappointing to see the US trying
so desperately to push their horribly broken patent system onto other
countries. Copyright works just for for software, and copyrights should
not be in place for scores of years; this will merely prevent progress
and stifle innovation.
