From Wikipedia: "Andres Guadamuz, a lecturer in law at the University of Edinburgh discovered that the International Intellectual Property Alliance (IIPA) representing the U.S. media industry is urging the United States government to consider countries like Indonesia, Brazil and India to be put on the Special 301 watchlist because of them mandating or suggesting the use of open source software, somehow considering it as a harmful act roughly equivalent to not combating piracy, and not taking into account that also many of the U.S. companies that the IIPA represents depend on using open source software in their own business"
I hope that India will always stay on top of 301 list
That seems like an unwise gambit for them. People are probably willing to believe whatever you tell them about Indonesia, but Canada's generally well-liked, and considered an orderly first-world country (if anything, the stereotype is of this absurdly polite and well-behaved place), so there's a decent risk of losing credibility from being too hyperbolic about Canada as some sort of hotbed of lawlessness.
Now that the White House has released opensource code for it's drupal stack, have known to dabble in free/open source applications, and are making extensive use of FOSS in gov.net will the US be added to this list?
Even if they aren't it would be whirlwind of irony.
