no offense - but you are nuts. not only are there plenty of documented incidents (and probably countless undocumented ones) of intellectual property thefts of US work via offshore conduits (Cisco alone had to battle to stop the Chinese from selling knock offs of their products, right down to the stolen operating system) - but the same offshore locations are one of the main sources of information for identity theft against US citizens (credit cards, personal information databases, etc).

"why would the Indians sell information of the US citizens whose businesses they tried so hard to court"? are you kidding me with that argument. Here's your answer: THEY DID IT FOR THE MONEY. Why did the Chinese rip off Cisco products? THEY DID IT FOR THE MONEY.

Forget it, this is enough of this nonsense for today.

No that's pretty close to flat out lying. No, it is lying. Period.

You know what we're talking about here. On the one hand we're talking about employment operations in India, and you want to equate that to mafia-type piracy operations in China. By resorting to such obvious and contemptible mendacity, you completely undermine your credibility and give us all a reason to take every word you say with the utmost of skepticism.

Yep, good idea. Your credibility is shot here. Better cut bait. Good riddance.

Where do companies and countries go to protect themselves against intellectual piracy? Gasp, the WTO! Since you are not, presumably, a big fan of that organization, what would you suggest that U.S. companies do to protect themselves? Shoot spitballs?

There is a small amount of unintended irony in this statement.
