Search the document for "interest". Plenty of talk about interested parties, rights holders. Euphemisms for US corporations using the might of the US government and its military to interfere in foreign countries. I've read some US documents discussing my country like it's a problem to be solved. Like it's a new planet they intend to terraform. It's surreal. Documents essentially saying things like "these places continue to be a problem, the local authorities aren't doing what we want them to do".
Essentially the US has "concerns" and it expects and "urges" other countries to address them by criminalizing anything that hurts the profits of US corporations, which they call "US economic interests". Yeah, because we totally have room in our prisons to lock up my country's entire population for copyright infringement. They must think we have nothing better to do.
They'll even put Canada, their neighbor and ally, in the watchlist. They write things like:
> Right holders also report that Canadian courts have established meaningful penalties against circumvention devices and services.
It's so incredibly surreal. "Yeah, our corporations have been saying you've been a good little country, Mr. Canada. Keep doing what they tell you and we might just take you off the naughty list next year." I don't even know what to say. Imagine being a politician who has to swallow language like this from world powers like the US all the time.
