With respect to the IP protected under the Constitution of the United States, unquestionably and absolutely. The past 50 years of macroeconomic activity is basically a warning sign that says "your IP is basically worthless" in big red flashing letters. China mass-manufactures ARM chips and turbojet engines using unlicensed stolen schematics - Russia endlessly pirates foreign entertainment with impunity. These are entire nations of people who benefit from American financial assets without paying us a dime for them.

In case you missed it, the other day China showed off their F-35 clone for the PRC military parade. Your constitution can say pigs fly for all George Washington cares, trusting absolutely in IP protection is a game for butthurt chumps.
