The netizens are aware about the rampant "piracy and IPR violation" of major IT products all over the world. This piracy or infringement cannot be curbed or controlled unless there is a combined effort to eliminate these nuisances at the “local level”. The setting up of committee for limited period will not serve the purpose. Let the countries manage their own affairs in an indigenous manner. The social, economic and political conditions of each country are different from US and it will not be wise ideas to super impose US standards for other countries. Let the local enforcement mechanism take care of this situation. It would be better to suggest different IP policies for different nations that suit the requirements of both the nations availing the IP benefits and the IP holders.
