Are you even having the same conversation as me? You are so into your anti-IP/DRM mindset its blinding you to the basic principle I'm getting at.
I don't give a shit what you think about the current Copyright or IP laws we have in international trade. In fact I think the current system is stupid.
BUT that doesn't mean China gets to unilaterally ignore them because it's beneficial for them. The same way I can't unilaterally ignore our laws on theft just because I think the system of distributing food is wrong. IF China wants to change the rules then they need to do that through the WTO. They decided to join in order to gain access to the global market. If they can't follow those rules then they need to be stopped or kicked out because it's causing serious issues within the global economy, issues that are leading some people to talk about war.
