Despite ongoing anti-piracy campaigns being implemented all over the globe, pirated computer games, CDs, and DVDs still continue to proliferate. And one the major sources of such products is China, which is said to have 90% of all its digital entertainment as illegitimate copies and illegally made.China has come up with a 100-day anti-piracy campaign to try and improve their country's reputation regarding piracy, and so far, the said campaign has been effective in closing down 8,907 shops and street vendors, as well as 481 publishing companies and 942 illegal websites.
Chinese police have begun to confiscate materials, assets, and fake products in the country's known selling areas of pirated software. According to Xinhua News Agency, almost 13 million units of pirated computer software, as well as CDs and DVDs, have been confiscated and destroyed since the Chinese authorities initiated the 100-day anti-piracy campaign.
13 million units is still a small number if you think of how widespread piracy has become. But small steps and solutions such as these are still helpful if we are to totally eradicate worldwide piracy, don't you think?
