Oh please, this is an American thing????

Europe is a million times worse, they patent everything, you can't call a certain type of cheese by it's name unless it's made in that actual place, or you can't call champagne champagne unless it's made in a certain part of France. Europe is a million times worse when it comes to protecting ridiculous things and patents and names. Europe is way more protectionist than the US.

Don't even get me started.
