John,

wouldn't this affect more than drug companies if a country ignores patent protection

Absolutely, they use the humanitarian issue of drugs to break the yoke of intellectual property imperialism, but we know it immediately extends to easy to copy music, movies, books and software. Then it hits hardware.

But this time we have the Japanese, European and Asian tiger countries on our side.

China is still playing both sides of this, but are being watched very closely.

John

You won't see Hollywood celebs backing this one for long :-)
