I also find the copied crap so obvious. I mean, I wanna buy an original copy of Microspft office and I so happen to live near the biggest computer district in China. I goes there, and nothing but burned copies. DVDs are from 2 to 6 yuan and it's just a complete joke.
I don't personally condone coping but there must be limitations. Especially when it's so damn obvious.

Nanchang is no different/better. All software, DVDs and CDs (of foreign origion anyway) are pirates. ALL. In stores. In the new computer center. On the streets.
Didn't China make some sort of promise or another to do something about this? I mean, I can see them selling stuff in the streets (like Hong Kong), but there's nothing but pirated copies of stuff in the Wall Mart, for Pete's sake.
If China did agree to something here when it entered the WTO, then either the world is going to have to turn a massive blind eye to this, China will lose it's WTO membership, or something will actually have to be done.
I'm guessing the first one. |
