Comment Sometimes I want results from a specific country (Score 4, Insightful) 47

I used to use google.it when I wanted specifically Italian content, which is something I need to do quite a bit for work purposes (I'm in the UK).
That is no longer possible, and it has made it much more difficult for me to find Italian content, because it always assumes I want results in English.

You can't quote a single number for every product that is imported.
It depends how important the customer thinks the product is to them, and what alternatives or substitutes are available.
Also whether the seller has alternative markets they can sell into.

Also, if all the other alternatives are subject to the same tariff, that changes the dynamics somewhat.

There is also the simple fact that 75% of a 145% tariff on Chinese goods is 108.75%, and no Chinese manufacturer is going to pay you to take goods off their hands.

If you just download a copyrighted work, the actual losses suffered by the copyright owner are pretty minimal, maximum the cost of a legal copy of the work.
If you use it for commercial purposes or distribute it to others, then the losses suffered by the copyright owner are much higher. In the UK at least, it also makes it a criminal rather than merely civil matter.
