As has been posted here before all but one of the RIAA cartels are not American owned. It would be interesting to see a list of what countries have the worst copyright laws(I'm sure the U.S. would be high on the list), and which are the most lenient. I almost wish it was just "America against the world" when it came to pushing for draconian copyright laws, as one country is easier to fend off than a giant international cartel. The U.S. is nothing more than a puppet dancing on strings controlled by foreign cartels, which are all too happy to hide while the U.S. takes all the blame for crappy copyright bills world wide. I'm not saying the corrupt U.S. politicians and media are blameless, but if you want to kill the snake you have to cut off the head.

My family owns the rights to the music of our father. We have found roughly 75 unlawful recordings on sale, made by Amercan record companies and sold in American stores and web sites. Sony alone has over 16 of these records. None have licenses for the songs nor have paid a single cent in royalties, ever, and we own the music since our father died in 1993. At leat 30 record companies are on my list of manufacturers of these infringing recordings. In royalties alone these companies owe us over $2 millions (current worth). There is not a single lawful record to be found for sale in stores or web site, other than one we produce and sell ourselves. This more or less describes the American COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT DEBACLE. It is absurd that an American go to China to complain about the infringement over there when heavy duty infringement, for commercial profit, in America is rampant, is not controlled by the American government, who is ironically is more concerned about home copying.
