I guess you could say "Oh Wu is me to take a break from all the container ships polluting the ports".
It's not like they are delivering anything more important than Hollywood could come up with.

Out of all the chinese people that have computers, less than 300 of them actually paid for Windows Vista. To me, this says something very important that Microsoft keeps ignoring: Windows Vista COSTS TOO MUCH!

Maybe if it didn't cost so much people would be willing to pay for it, but now, that would actually make some sense and we can't have that!

China Complaining About...What Again???
by `WarpKat April 24, 2007 8:13 AM PDT
So basically China is saying this:

"We know our people pirate your American stuff, and we spanked a couple - so stop complaining or we will stop doing anything for you."

Sometimes I wonder what life would have been like if that wall had never gone up...

China is complaining ....

About what??? Enforcing International Copyright laws?? They want our business...play by the rules.

If China is not going to take International Laws seriously, maybe we should quit doing business with them.

Nothing like keeping American goods and services American.

Undercut the pirates???

Do you believe in the magical power of words? Say undercut and all problems disappear, right? The pirates are everyone, everyone in China is in complicity. Everything is pirated here and much of it goes abroad, but it doesn't have to go abroad to severely hurt the victims, that is, the producers of these products. If you can't say anything more helpful than this, you should stop posting and listen for a while until you get a clue what the problems are.

Americans would do it too

If they could copy stuff. Let's face it, wouldn't you want to get music, videos, free? wait, that's called bittorrent...... OK. If Americans could manufacture handbags, sneakers, for next to nothing, but wait, American wages are too high, so copying a product is useless, since the price of the copy might just be the same as the original.

China thieves

Our past administrations opened free trade with this country. We knew they were not our allies.
Look at the Korean War and the Viet Nam War. It's time we protect ourselves and say China you can take it or preferrably leave it.

A Reason for Pre-emptive Nuclear War
by aaydogan April 26, 2007 3:14 PM PDT
Piracy is the least of our worries. The Chinese now consume
more resources than any other country (we still consume more
per capita). That means that they are competing for the things
that make our lifestyle "American." They have no interest in
dialogue or cooperation with us. They only want to do whatever
will maintain the CCP (Chinese Communist Party), nothing more
than a clique of thugs, in power. Why not put our arsenal of
nuclear weapons to good use and wipe them off the face of the
earth before they become an even bigger threat. Who is going
to object? Who is going to fight back? It might even show the
rest of the world that we mean business.

Then again maybe we should put some thought into developing
a national energy policy, rebuild our education system and
actually reclaim our place on top of the food chain,
