"Good fences make good neighbors."

But you're conflating nationalism with imperialism, as is so common these days.

And somehow you think that in the current system where multinational corporations sneak anti-consumer legislation into trade deals, poor countries don't get the short stick. Why? Who do you think benefits when poor countries are made to agree to onerous patent and copyright protections, and forced open internal markets, that prevents them from growing or protecting local industries?

Copyright length is literally written into trade agreements and other international treaties, yet you are incredulous?
