The USA has a president who's shown himself capable of backing out of
treaties he doesn't believe to be in the USA's best interests.  If only
he could be shown that the USA's best interests were diametrically
opposed to the wishes of the corporations seeing a new feudalism, I'm
sure that WIPO could very quickly turn into a paper tiger.

Alas, it doesn't sound like anybody in the US government other than
Boucher has a clue that there might be something rotten in the States of
America.
