Have you noticed the warnings showing up sometimes on the screen of a bootlegged movie? $250,000 financial penalty and the promise of criminal persecution.
Same time shopping on the Amazon (The jungle river of fakes) you have a wide selection of sometimes obvious sometimes not fakes pushed by unscrupulous Chinese sellers as well as the Amazon management. You do not see the warning screen that receiving stolen (Intellectual) property will put you in legal jeopardy. Instead of the $250k unexpected financial incentive to abandon the Amazon web catalog you are lulled in by the promise of great savings (and hidden but unexpected health expenses when you buy faked in China Bike helmet or Car child seat.) Bootlegged by Amazon Copy of Hermes bag gives you the appearance of luxury for a few bucks. You will be arrested for distributing faked goods on the street corner in any US city but Amazon is doing it officially in a full view.
America is doing great business transferring wealth to China in exchange for fakes and oversized bank accounts of Amazon’s owner. One person’s interest against the whole nation.
Where are the great American Designers, Inventors? Are they among the 50% of all applicants submitting their invention from the US to the German Patent office? No wonder. There are so many inventions you can not get patented in the US thanks to the infinite wisdom of the Supreme Court in competition with Congress injecting “Judicial exceptions” into the US Patent Statues.
The Internet is full of people bragging about theft. Intellectual property theft supposedly should make the heroes.
They took the property from an evil entity. (You) Entity encroaching on their rights to possess everything for free, even other people’s property. New kind of Robin Hoods? No. They are Corporate Theft Heroes. sponsored and paid for by Amazons and Googles.
They stole somebody’s fruits of labor. Hard work and sometimes the last dime taken from the family budget. Work published in hopes to earn a buck. Possibly to pay for kids’ college expenses. Or inventor retirement so deserved after half of a century of hard work here and there.
No question as an Inventor you are a modern Outlaw in the US. To be exact according to the 2015 Supreme Court ruling inventors DO NOT OWN FRUITS OF THEIR LABOR. Their sweat and labor, Their expenses belong to the government. Invention? It is merely Government Franchise. Only slave labor doesn’t belong to him/her.
So In FACT according to Supreme Court, YOU ARE A SLAVE.
The Supreme Court in its infinite wisdom follows the great example of philosophers who gave rise to the 20-century Soviet empire where everything was a “Government franchise”
According to this philosophy, your rights as individual means nothing when comes to the greater good of a bigger entity. Nation, The Government. (eBay). Supreme Court strives to have the perfect realization of totalitarianism. Exactly like in the Communist country. I’ve lived through it myself. You are property of the State.
No wonder in the opinion of the 6 riders of Apocalypse women have no right to their own bodies.
The plight is shared by everyone in our country. If you want at least one positive change please call your congressman to support

One of my websites shows a page with information about the existence of an invention. After a year or so of continuous (unsuccessful) internet attacks, the subscriber list grows exponentially consisting mainly of e-mails associated with Chinese websites like Alibaba, Ali Express, etc. Ready to steal and copy the product at the first sight of any useful information. Lately, I received an offer from a Chinese company to help them “DEVELOP THEIR PRODUCT” Obvious attempt to gain access to know-how. You submit them the proposal, and drawings and they are telling you: We get back to you…..
