The US Trade Representative publishes a naughty list of countries every single year pointing out nations that aren't conforming to american intellectual property laws. These reports are riddled with language such as "our stakeholders say", implying rich corporations and industries are telling the US government what to do and who to target. As a result, countries with high crime rates and without universal basic sanitation have to waste resources policing imaginary american property within their borders.
