Google Copyright Infringement Vs America : Microsoft's Gates warns on U.S. competitiveness

You do not need to be PhD to finish the puzzle: Gates will talk about "competitiveness" - his Legal Counsel about Google copyright infringement. Like was written here before Intellectual Property Rights Protection is the pillar of competitiveness in this country and Congressmen will connect the dots. Nobody would like to be named Enemy of the State. This Congressional Hearing could really happen and much sooner then I thought even this morning:
"WASHINGTON, March 7 (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp. (MSFT.O: Quote, Profile , Research) Chairman Bill Gates said on Wednesday that he feels "deep anxiety" about the current state of U.S. competitiveness.
In prepared remarks to be delivered to a Senate committee, Gates called for increased government investment in research and development, immigration reforms to attract more highly skilled workers to the United States, and improved educational opportunities.
"When I reflect on the state of American competitiveness today, my immediate feeling is not only one of pride, but also of deep anxiety. Too often we as a society are sacrificing the long-term good of our country in the interest of short-term gain," Gates said in testimony to be given to the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, chaired by Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Edward Kennedy."
