Mish, my take<g> Message 20284935 Joking aside, that article does make a valid point that traditionally, Chinese do think somewhat differently about intellectual property from the Westerners. That does NOT mean Chinese gov. support piracy. The problem is that China is a big country. Even if in HongKong, Taiwan, or any of those small Southeastern Asian country, piracy is pretty wide spread. Comparing with those small region/nations, China is much bigger in size, has much larger population, and relatively much lower ratio of law enforcement resource (both in terms of human resource and financial resource), so it is much harder to enforce the right of intellectural property. Haven't you heard a saying, law is hard to apply to the majority<g> BTW, a lot of piracy DVDs are made in HK, or Taiwan, and then imported to China.
