When you read such things it make you glad to be in a democracy.

i have worked in some of the old communist countries and believe me it's not fun to have to produce your identity card to every official on a power trip.

I'm sure the pirates will still find a way to get their software..China is a big country and piracy is everywhere from what I've been told.

The one thing I've never figured out is why they pay for pirated copies - haven't they ever heard of P2P? rolleyes
