"Every year at around this time the United States Trade Representative (USTR)
issues a Special 301 Report in which it chastises other countries for not
submitting to its unilateral demands (often lacking any legal basis) as to how
they should be enforcing copyrights, patents, trademarks and trade secrets in
their countries. And just like last year, this gives us the opportunity again
to point out how unbalanced these demands are, missing the real harms of strict
copyright and patent enforcement and failing to acknowledge the benefits of a
more flexible, user-centered approach."
The annual "Special 301" report is entitled whining by wealthy
megacorporations. Via Xenophrenia.
