How about if a bunch of other large countries simply dropped the laws and outright encouraged their population to 'pirate' American media?

If the countries/regions were large enough (like say, the whole EU, or China or Australia or whatever else), that'd really put the US in a bad situation. Either compromise and fix copyright laws, or 'fight back' against countries powerful enough to threaten them in return. How far would anyone go to 'save' the status quo?

Hence TPP and every other confidential trade agreement negotiation.
