I mean like this: "Realized that most of these programs are not meant to help anyone, merely to control people and make them dependent. I was forced to reconsider everything I'd once believed. I developed a profound distrust of government regardless of the philosophy of the people in power. I remained a liberal on civil-rights issues, became a conservative on defense, and a semi-libertarian on all other matters." - Dean Koontz. Am I wrong?

Russia seems to have concluded it’s necessary to “protect” American IP

That's new fact I learn today. Surprisingly Russia method in this case was very interesting.

cost of maintaining your IP outweighs the benefits for all but the largest companies.

Totally agree. This is the problem of close IP in our business model right now, I re-found my quote about this topic from "Open Heritage Data: An Introduction to Research, Publishing, and Programming with Open Data in the Heritage Sector" book:

Outside the heritage sector, in the music industry, the film industry, and many other creative industries, they have the same struggle, and copyright is very big business indeed. It seems that much of our copyright law and practice today is still aimed at these areas, and this is perhaps why it is very difficult to understand copyright in the context of heritage data. However, one important thing to remember about copyright is the motivation for the law. Copyright should act as a motivation to create, because you know that you are the owner of your creative work and thus have certain rights over it.

Now I understand clearly how important IP is with the new fact that far from example I've found so far. Thank you so much for your insight! Really appreaciate your time to answering my foolish question..
