      China not respecting IP is such a funny excuse liberals like to make to explain away the Chinese people’s progress. Even if that was the major reason for them doing well, doesn’t that argue FOR China and AGAINST neoliberalism? They’re basically saying the only reason we dont have high speed rail is because of copyright and IP law. Then why have it? Its not like it does what it was supposed to do.

      Copyright laws are sort of stupid. People shouldn’t be forced to make inferior products just because someone else beat them to an idea. At the very worse, they should just share 10% of the profits with the original designer and then let everyone copy any designs they want
