They aren't American companies, they're multi-nationals, and will keep the money in a tax haven to avoid paying US taxes on it. And this isn't a prediction, this is what is happening RIGHT NOW.

It won't help the US economy one iota, and if you push this dysfunctional nonsense out internationally you have gone from "almost no chance of reform" to "absolutely no chance of reform."

They can hide profits from taxes but they still create jobs and spend money here.
liberal copyright laws create jobs. This is the opposite of that. It's big corporations securing profits and making sure there will be no competition.
My point is that we're not getting liberal copyright laws here. At least this helps our economy.
> At least this helps our economy.

please explain how.

Companies do not create jobs. Demand creates jobs.
