20,000 audio-video titles available in China.................... chinadaily.net State to get tough on copyright violators COPYRIGHT offenders had better look out. China's copyright administration departments will focus next year on cracking down on breaches of copyright and helping to improve the legal standing and quality of books and audio-video products. Sources with the National Copyright Administration of China said it is to train local copyright authorities to enforce the law more effectively next year. Training of this nature has been organized this year and has obtained good results, said an official with the administration. "Copyright protection is a protracted task that requires regular inspections and strengthened law enforcement," said the official who requested anonymity. He stressed that his administration will crack down harder on copyright infringers in the coming year and co-operate with customs authorities to fight against smuggling of illegal audio-video products. In the past some production lines manufacturing unauthorized CDs were closed down by the government. Some of these have now been re-opened to help boost production of legal audio-video products. Officials confiscated 49 underground CD production lines during last year's national action to crack down on pornography and illegal audio-video products. Most of these were unearthed in the southern province of Guangdong. Data from the administration suggest that the public's awareness of copyright protection has been greatly enhanced by crackdowns on copyright infringements in recent years. The administration has received an increasing number of letters enquiring and complaining about copyright-related matters. Copyright trade has also advanced in the past year. Early this year, the administration organized a team of copyright trade companies to participate in a book fair in the United Kingdom. More than 40 agreements of intent were signed at the fair. Agreements on about 100 titles were signed at Sino-Japanese copyright trade negotiations in China. A healthy trade in audio-video products has been reported by the four national wholesalers for audio-video products in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou in Guangdong Province and Wuhan in Hubei Province. The Guangdong Audio-Video Emporium draws about 150 audio-video traders from all over the country. The wholesale price for some imported VCDs has dropped to around 25 yuan ($3). The Beijing wholesale centre has a collection of more than 20,000 audio-video titles and electronic publications. Date: 11/28/97 Author: Guo Nei Copyrightc by China Daily
