btw, the piracy rate of a country does not mean the percentage of its population doing piracy, not sure why you wanted to use piracy rate * the population.
-_-!!
Oh, now you are accusing me to do personal attack. I guess that attacking a country blindly wont be a matter to you. When you made your statements like in the above, i suppose that you were ready to take any response back from other ppl with a valid proof, but you are just like a coward running away, haha.
I dont see any facts you provided, for you information, China is neither the worst in total lost sales nor percentage, you cant derive it is the worst pirate country from these two figures. So why is it the largest pirate nation on the planet? YOu said based on its 1.3 billion population, well, if you took the population as a consideration, why you stopped here not going further? How about considerring the number of ppl owning a computer then come back with a fact to prove your point? Based on your theory, you can put any random " the Largest" hat on China, just coz it has 1.3 billion ppl, LOL.
When you miss out on 1.3 BILLION consumers because they are allowed to steal from you without anyone caring to enforce IP rights, then I don't think China is allowed to take the moral high ground on such issues.
Based on any facts? Are you stupid enough not to do any research before spitting out any rubbish from ur mouth? Let me give u a tip, search for something related to the laws.
If China is Hypocritical, so are other countries, -_-!!
lol, how many ppl of the 1.3 billion own a computer? use ur brain plz, if its like what u said, China wouldnt be only 1.2 times more than France in the lost sales based on the fact that China has roughly 18 times more than France in population.
for ur ignorance, i did the search for you, according to this article http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060523/ap_on_hi_te/so ftware_piracy, the lost sales for year 2005 in the US was $6.9 billions,$3.9 billions in china and $3.2 billions in France. now its the percentage: The countries with the highest piracy rates, according to the study, were Vietnam, 90 percent; Zimbabwe, 90 percent, Indonesia, 87 percent, and China and Pakistan, both at 86 percent. Russia, down 4 percentage points to a piracy rate of 83 percent; Ukraine, down 6 percentage points to a piracy rate of 85 percent.
funny if you look at the figures http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060523/ap_on_hi_te/so ftware_piracy, the total lost sales due to piracy in 2005 in the US was $6.9 billion, $3.9 billion in China and $3.2 billion in France.
And the countries with the highest piracy rates, according to the study, were Vietnam, 90 percent; Zimbabwe, 90 percent, Indonesia, 87 percent, and China and Pakistan, both at 86 percent, Ukraine 85 percent, Russia 83 percent.
China is not the worst country in both list, why keep attacking?
-_-!!
To me it is you americans dont know anything other than what the government tells you. Look at your short history, how many ur own ppl were killed coz of political issues, how many other countries and ppl have you invaded and murdered? Take a good study of your own history first.
Im a chinese, i see things from both inside and outside the country, and believe me, we chinese are not as ignorant as yourself.
errr... Darkman, that was not he was referring to. I think you and 808140 were talking about the same "face concept", the only difference is that you dont think China has what you called the Japanese concept of face.
The face issue exists everywhere, its a human nature. Do you really think in China, ppl only think that they are losing faces because they have worse cars or sth similiar? If so, you know too little about china, you are narrow-minded and ignorant...
