I dunno, stealing intellectual property from companies strikes me as a victimless crime.

But more than that, it's the only way for poor countries to work their way out of poverty. We hold the profitable ends of the value chain, developing countries are left holding the unprofitable middle, and we won't provide any of the know-how needed to work the more profitable parts.

Either we willingly include technology transfer as part of globalisation, or we whine about 'IP theft'. Because we can't expect poor countries to willingly stay poor to benefit us.
