\"A more plausible solution to the AIDS problem in Thailand would be for the government to take a less oppressive attitude both to drug users and to drug producers. Education about the dangers of drug use, which would include messages about needle sharing, is a more responsible answer to the problem than throwing users in jail. Meanwhile, encouraging the research-based companies to sell their wares in Thailand, by respecting their intellectual property rights, is a more responsible answer than frightening them away by stealing their patents.\"
