Of course India shouldn't! Why should they? Why would anyone want to pay for something that cost billions of dollars to be discovered now that it is discovered. We should all steal! </sarcasm>

Just like the US violated European patents during our Industrial Revolution, India, China, and other emerging markets violate our patents and copyrights to fuel their own economic growth. Really, the best we can hope for is that they'll start producing their own worthwhile research which we can license in 10-20 years.
