I predict that more companies outside the US will start producing products and services that the US can't touch legally. As a result US tech firms would lose out.

It is their interest to band together now as one powerful lobby group and force a change to the legislation.

I guess I view this as highly naive. What makes you think the US won't get agreement from these places to share? They already have in a large number of cases.

I would only say somewhat naive. There is a lot of effort in the EU that points in this direction. Not everyone is a British poudle over here. We started our work in the direction a couple of years ago, where I work. It will take a while, but it will happen.
