What does “countries deserving special mention” mean?
It means they are watching them, but they are no “as bad” in their opinion as the others.
Sounds like a observation made by a police state – “the U.S.A.”
Canada – the new land of the free
Yeah right Canada if far more hellish a police state then the US. US is possibly 3rd after UK and Canada b
Notably absent: United States
I’d like to see the numbers comparing music-pirating countries to music-purchasing countries – I bet they’re the same…
Jason I fail to see how you think the US is 3rd, more like 1st hands down.
this list could be shortened by simply stating “almost everywhere except the United States.”
>fail to provide adequate and effective protection for U.S. intellectual property
>U.S. intellectual property
why should other countries care about the US’s crazy laws?
