      No, but it also stands to profit from those violations of consumer rights, where other countries do not.

      Has the US ever been ahead of any of its peers when it comes to consumer rights?

      Fair Use is cool.

        In principle it is cool, but large corporations can still bully you into submission even when it should fall under Fair Use.

            It’s ridiculous. I think the law should be written with the expectation that the common citizen cannot afford legal counsel for an unlimited period of time.

            I am not a lawyer.

        We’re trending in the right direction but we’re not at all in a position to be saying we’re better than anyone on that front, given how much industry pushback there’s been.
