And even if, does Disney want to submit a request to make the FBI invading abroad and seize somebody's assets who they call "responsible" for this?
It's goddamn fucking China, more than a billion people, starting war with them is a foolishness for suicide.

And that is exactly why they get away with copying everything. Everybody is afraid to insult China. Ugh...

If it's about the copying of industrial wares, I'd say Western enterprises are all to blame themselves. If they all shift their factories out to China, they shouldn't cry about that the Chinese learn to produce these goods themselves. That's a natural consequence that comes with producing certain goods.
Approval is only a piece of paper. It can't fight technical skills.

Anything original?

They invented gunpowder, printing, silk, the compass, blast furnaces, paper money, the ship's rudder, the mouldboard plough, the seed drill.................

I thought iphones were from Apple.

And where do you suppose Apple got the idea from?

Well, no argument from me when it comes to the lack of creativity in the US.

Anti intellectualism seems to be a way of life among the rich, powerful and entitled wherever you go!

Pretty much that, yeah.

See, I'm from a poor working class background and I still frighten a certain sort of person because I'm female and highly educated.

Social mobility frightens the entitled. Educated women frighten the entitled.

It's easier to copy the rest of the world now, when they know nobody will challenge them.

The song itself sounds boring, it's one piece repeated over and over again. So, not even a very good knockoff...

It kind of sounds like they took the most recognizable parts of the song and just repeated it over and over.
Maybe by 2022 it will sound new again. LOL........

And like the Beijing Olympics it will probably be mimed by someone prettier than the person who actually provides the vocals :/
