Lawrence has on several occasions spoken for how piracy is actually good for
innovation, with examples including Hollywood and T-Series
which also reminds me of Doron Ben-Atar's work on American piracy in
the eighteenth century. he was one of the speakers at the sarai
contested commons conference last year

In the early 21st century, the United States acts as the key global
enforcer of intellectual property rights — especially in emerging
markets like China and other Asian countries. But it wasn't always
this way. Doron Ben-Atar — author of "Trade Secrets" — examines a time
when it was the United States that relied heavily on copyright
infringements and outright economic espionage

At the World Information City conference in Bangalore last November,
Shaina Anand and Lawrence Liang made a video on this. Lawrence has on
several occasions spoken for how piracy is actually good for
innovation, with examples including Hollywood and T-Series, both of
which started as pirate outfits.
See, for example, this presentation made at Dictionary of War
conference in Graz, Austria, this October:
