"theft of property"....can't steal that which is not offered or laid out to be taken.

What? So the pirated software, tapes, CDs I saw on all the street markets in Poland were not stolen? It was the artists' and developers' fault for creating it?

I don't understand what your beef is. The infrastructure in the US is streamlined for business. Businesses (generally) within the US don't really care where goods come from (refer to the trade deficit here). It's not perfect, but it's better than anyone else for doing business.

Russia doesn't have any infrastructure to speak of.
Japanese business culture is very introspective.
China is not very good about protecting property rights, which is very necessary for easy business.
