People keep talking China when someone put the title: piracy here. Yes, I agree that the pirated stuff are rampant in China. You can buy any kind of pirated famous band in China. However, there is a fact I need to confess here. After joining the WTO, Chinese government are trying hard to give a heavy hit to the smugglers.
I have no idea if piracy are popular in Eroupean countries at a certain times. I consider this phenominon is natural, which is a nessisary proceeding of society development. Nowadays, plenty of investors flood in China. They move the labour-manufacturing industries to the developing country. People in developing country know more about the outside world. They are desirous to use the sfuff with the sound brand. However, they are not rich enough to afford it. What they are going to do? They want to share the advanced stuff in the world, but they are not at the same level with the developed countries. Everyone has the right to pursuit the happiness, whether they are born rich or poor. At this point, they are equal It is no doubt that we should protect the property right. Meanwhile, we can't absolutely stop the piracy because every contry should pass this procedure.
I perceived that the Chinese government have a strong determination to eradicate the piracy. Now, it is not so easy to the pirated DVD on the streets. There are no intensively concentrated shops for the pirated stuff. I think this is a big progress. We can't solve all the problem overnight. Developed countries should give time to developing countries to improve.
Chines people have no special inclination to the pirated stuff. The deep reason is that we are not rich enough to afford it.
