Shades, <<... functional mechanics of capitalism requiring payment for innovation are sidestepped - it all comes crashing down eh? If there is HUGE demand for things in china and they just STEAL those tommy bahama shirts instead of paying for them - capitalism falls apart eh?>> ... ridiculous, and laughable contention, as if capitalism started with a bunch of lawyers working up an ipr code of conduct, away from the chaos of a dynamic market place where survival of the fittest is rule supreme. Yeah, I am witnessing capitalism falling apart right across the border. Word of advise, do not wait for the train wreck, as there is no train, only the restructuring of a civilization in its 4703rd year, after hitting bottom for 200 odd years. No shades, the issue is not ipr payment, it is only an issue of price. As regard to the specifics of a small matter of DVD, the truth is simple, that you have been, assuming you buy DVDs, ripped off for a long time, and only now is the math transparent. gizmodo.com "Warner Combats Chinese Pirates With $1.50 DVD" You, shades, have been drinking from the Koolaid bucket, and have been over-paying. Chugs, J P.s. here in HK we occasionally have CD/DVD available from across the border, legit copies, but marked with 'for sale and distribution in China only', obtainable from Walmart in Shenzhen. Same movies, same stars, same stories, only more reasonably priced, as it should in any well-functioning and dynamic capitalistic society where the fittest survive.
