Savvy countries will discover there’s a way to mitigate the harm incurred by Trump’s tariffs—and it’ll boost their own economies while making goods cheaper too.
This article is saying other countries should repeal their equivalents to the DMCA’s anti-curcumvention, just like Cory Doctorow says, and I agree too. The whole reason those counties passed DMCA-like laws was that we threatened to tariff them if they don’t. Well, now we’re tariffing them anyway. We’re no longer holding up our end of the bargain, and neither should anyone else.
Yes absolutely. Not even repeal the laws, just quietly stop enforcing them and look away while loudly whistling. Doing anything officially will only anger the bully. Just count on the bully’s short attention span and inattention to detail.
I’m not sure that’s the best solution, as if the law exists on the books companies will lobby fiercely to have it enforced. Definitely better than the status quo though.
