Digital BW, The Print

There may be another complication in this case that I do not think has
been mentioned.  At its most basic, this is an argument about
protection of intellectual property and the US Government has put a
great deal of pressure on other countries --China and India among many
others -- to control unauthorized reproduction of American products
from movies and music to software and pharmaceuticals. Despite the
logic of much of what has been written here, I suspect it will be
difficult for the ITC to rule against Epson under these circumstances.
 Given the relatively small size of our market, I wonder if licensing
might be the best bet.

I am not arguing "for" Epson, just pessimistic about the outcome.
