Sure it's the USA, but the problem is not unique to the USA.

I’m listening, but it would help if you could make a list that isn’t exclusively American. It really does imply that yeah, it’s very much a problem with the form of crony capitalism found in the US.

That’s certainly a start, but the obvious counterpoint is GDPR, which was EU-wide rather than the activity of one minor constituent nation. All told it does feel like the U.S. goes well beyond most other Western nations in terms of locally and globally imposing their IP framework through laws and treties.
