A "non-partisan private commission" finds:
"China, it said, was `the world's largest source of IP theft', with
Russia and India other actors, as well as other countries."
(The non-partisan private commission was co-chaired by Dennis Blair,
Mr Obama's former director of national intelligence, and Jon Huntsman,
former US ambassador to China and Republican presidential candidate.)
Way to go, Jasmine Spring Huntsman who was also a spy as US ambassador
to China!
But let's face it: It may just be the viewpoint you take! It may just
be that three billion people at a minimum disagree with the U.S.' IP
laws. Isn't it possible?
And remember Aaron Swartz?
Not so long ago, he also disagreed with the U.S.' IP laws and made a
statement of his disagreement and got himself into deep trouble with
the Justice Department that led to his suicide (because he had no
place to turn to).
So, Uncle Sam wanted to make any disagreement with him "consequential"
by pressing down hard on Aaron.
Poor Aaron, how could he fight Uncle Sam if nobody can even fight the
city hall! But can Uncle Sam make it consequential for China, India,
and Russia? Stay tune!

US report warns on China IP theft
23 May 2013 Last updated at 02:25 ET
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-22634685
The theft of intellectual property from the US is "unprecedented" and
costing the nation an estimated $300bn (200bn) each year, a report
says.
The study, led by former top-ranking officials, said China was thought
to be behind 50-80% of the theft.
Stronger deterrent measures that made IP theft unprofitable were
needed, the report said.
These included banking sanctions and import or investment curbs on
companies failing to protect IP rights.
The non-partisan private commission was co-chaired by Dennis Blair, Mr
Obama's former director of national intelligence, and Jon Huntsman,
former US ambassador to China and Republican presidential candidate.
Its report comes weeks before a summit of the US and Chinese
presidents, set for 7 and 8 June, at which the issue of Chinese cyber
espionage is likely to be raised.
Earlier this month, the Pentagon for the first time directly accused
the Chinese government and military of targeting US government
computers as part of a cyber espionage campaign aimed at collecting
intelligence on US diplomatic, economic and defence sectors.
China called the report "groundless", saying it represented "US
distrust".
'Consequences needed'
The report, released on Wednesday by the Commission on the Theft of
American Intellectual Property, said IP theft cost America jobs and
suppressed innovation.
"The scale of international theft of American intellectual property
(IP) is unprecedented - hundreds of billions of dollars per year, on
the order of the size of US exports to Asia," it said.
China, it said, was "the world's largest source of IP theft", with
Russia and India other actors, as well as other countries.
"National industrial policy goals in China encourage IP theft, and an
extraordinary number of Chinese in business and government entities
are engaged in this practice," the report said.
Foreign IP was also less protected by "weaknesses and biases" in
China's legal and patent systems, it said.
As well as cyber espionage, it pointed out that most IP theft took
place the "old-fashioned way", through bribed employees, on-site theft
and re-engineering.
Current legal avenues for addressing theft were inadequate. "IP theft
needs to have consequences, with costs sufficiently high that state
and corporate behaviour and attitudes that support such theft are
fundamentally changed," it said.
The report made a number of recommendations, including giving the
national security advisor responsibility for responding to IP theft.
The Treasury should be given the power to block entities benefiting
from IP theft from the US banking system, while measures blocking
goods benefiting from stolen IP from the US should be strengthened.
More resources should also be given to the FBI and Department of
Justice to prosecute IP theft, it said.
On cyber-hacking, it stopped short of calling for revising laws to
allow "offensive cyber" - recovering stolen files or damaging a
hacker's network, citing fears of damage to third parties.
But it said "informed deliberations" on how companies could legally
conduct "threat-based deterrence operations against network intrusion"
should be undertaken.
Mr Huntsman said he expected the issue to be raised at the upcoming
presidential summit.
"The president sets the priorities for the US-China relationship, and
this clearly would have to be at the top of our economic agenda," he
said.

Have to look at who contributed, authored and produced the report.

No need to re-invent the wheel.
Steal whenever you can.
Take whenever you have the power of the gun.
The Western powers stole China's invention of gun-powder to conquer
the world.
