Which of the following best summarizes why the protection of intellectual property rights (patents and copyrights) is a complex foreign policy issue?
A) China is the primary violator of intellectual property protections through its piracy of movies, software, and drugs, but the United States has to maintain a close relationship with China because we depend on that country for loans.
B) Too many countries are producing generic drug substitutes of pharmaceutical products with American patents poorly, so the drugs are dangerous to the populations of those countries.
C) While most Americans believe movie and music piracy should be stopped, many believe companies should provide life-saving drugs at low prices or allow poor countries to produce generic substitutes.
D) Americans believe that piracy in any form is wrong, since it affects the American economy, but other countries have no qualms about pirating music, movies, and generic drugs that are protected in the United States.
E) Poor countries producing generic drug substitutes could easily obtain the drugs through global firms that have lowered prices on a range of drugs to make them readily available, but these countries want to acquire the profits and so it is difficult to stop the infringement.
