Eh, all it takes is one random country with low taxes saying they don't respect IP laws. Cue US having a hissy fit, which in turn simply notifies other countries that it's a tactic that actually works. I look forward to that hydra rising.
Many countries do respect IP laws... they just do not have software patents. For example EU countries - huge, developed market, technologically advanced with well educated people. Their start-ups used to go to the Valley because that was the best place to be for start-ups... but now when Americans managed to create such toxic anti-innovative legal environment maybe this will change.
