US Calls Switzerland An Internet Piracy Haven (torrentfreak.com)
An anonymous reader writes: The Office of the United States Trade Representative has published its annual Special 301 Report calling out other nations for failing to live up to U.S. IP enforcement standards. This year European ally Switzerland has been placed on the Watch List for protecting file-sharers and playing host to many pirate sites. "Generally speaking, Switzerland broadly provides high-levels of IPR protection and enforcement in its territory. Switzerland makes important contributions to promoting such protection and enforcement internationally, including in bilateral and multilateral contexts, which are welcomed by the United States," the USTR writes in its assessment.
its means they are afraid of the extra freedom/rights your country affords you. That also means they are trying to take away those freedoms, like they took away from their own citizens. Best to just ignore them and let them squawk.

Wow, didn't take long for Godwin's law to be fulfilled this time. Yes, like all tax havens, the Swiss have provided secrecy and safe haven for the worst of humanity and continue to do so. That's along with Panama, Bermuda, Camen Islands, Jersey & Guernsey, etc. And that's where American billionaire's and corporations hide the fruits of their illegal and immoral activities too. You should check out Jane Mayer's book, "Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right" to see just how depraved it gets and US' involvement in the Nazi holocaust.
