Tech espionage is a pretty big problem though, not something anyone should hand-wave away as irrelevant.
Maybe in a particular light, but I'm personally of the opinion that intellectual property and patent law is antithetical to good social policy... so idk. Ideally we'd all benefit from the knowledge and ingenuity of all mankind but in a capitalist economic world-view there's no place for egalitarianism so....
If they can take the same tech and make it better/produce it cheaper then I think that's great, go nuts.
But that's obviously just me.
