    What lawyers? Correct me if I’m wrong, but if I live in Libya, and I’m following Libya laws, why do I care if some western lawyer for the MPAA takes notice of me?

      IP owners have created international consortiums to protect their profits and place pressure on foreign gov’t to respond.

        Sure, but not all foreign governments will respond, and with the decline of the American hedgemony, even fewer will respond. I suspect Libya will not be too forthcoming with helping wester IP Consortiums crack down on pirated video stores. And since that store has been open for 15years, I seem to be correct here.
