Copyright is bad for western economy

I was planning to write a long article about how enforcing copyright was generally bad for the economy of the “developed world” because in the end, all it did was give an advantage to countries who didn’t give a fuck. Thus while we spend all our resources at making it harder to consume and copy entertainment, countries like China and India would instead be making a profit from selling entertainment to it’s own people and back to us.

Cory Doctorow beat me to it, while his article isn’t exactly what I was going to write, he gets my point across quite well.
