[Ecommerce] Pakistan - copyright piracy hub

[Jeff Williams]

Michelle and all,

  This article contains many missives, IMHO.  To me and a majority
of our members, this article is  further evidence why TRIP's is a
dismal failure.  As Pakistan is a democratic country which is
supposedly very "Friendly" with the current US administration.
Why than aren't they cooperating with the US very well on
Ip protections?  Could it be that money has no real friends,
only temporary affiliations?  Or has the friendship with Pakistan
not a "Friendly" as otherwise touted from time to time by the
administration?
