I am from Chile, yoohoo! More grapes stay in Chile, please go ahead.

The overall impact of such measure would be minimal. USA is all about consumption (imports), and very little about production (exports), therefore the US threatrning not to trade with countries that do not crack down on file sharing would only affect the wealthy exporters of such countries, a very minimal proportion of the population, but it would benefit most of the locals who would have a surplus of item otherwise destined to go abroad.

If anybody remembers the Chilean Grapes Case back in the 80s, it was a conspiracy, started in the US, it was all a buch of bullshit, in any case grapes were for a while cheaper than ever, and the quality better than ever, boy! Did I eat a lot of grapes? A handful of entrepreneurs weren’t really happy with it, but the most citizens were delighted.
