Chris Cantell Discusses SigEx Ventures, Piracy, Software, China: Fara marfa contrafacuta by Claudia Sonea

China este una din cele mai mari tari din lume ca populatie. Ei au o limba nemaipomenita si sunt cunoscuti ca oameni de onoare dar si ca principala soursa de trafic cu marfa contrafacuta. Ori de cate ori cumperi un produs apartinand unei firme faimoase si are mentiunea "Fabricat in China" te gandesti ca e contrafacut. Ca rezultat al imensei presiuni de a pune capat acestei situatii saucel putin sa ia masuri impotrica contrabandistilor, autoritatile chineze au efectuat cel mai mare arest si au confiscat software piratat in valoare de jumatate de miliard de dolari, ca urmare a doi ani de colaborare cu FBI. Gao Feng, de la Ministerul Apararii Publice, a declarat ca au arestat 25 de persoane si au confiscat bunuri in valoare de opt milioane de dolari. Dar FBI a spus ca software-ul piratat a fost evaluat la 500 de milioane de dolari. Bandele locale colaboaru cu suspecti din SUA si autoritatiile au descoperit acest lucru in 2005 si anuntand biroul din Biejing al FBI, s-a format un parteneriat pentru a-i prinde pe suspecti si sa puna capat contrabandei. In ultimii ani in China rata software-ului contrafacut a scazut, dar nu prea mult. Este intradevar un anumit progres, dar mai e inca cale lunga de batut. Cine stie ce in viitorul apropiat nu vom mai gasi marfa de contrabanda fabricata in China. Stati conectati si urmariti incotro se indreapta lucrurile. Bucurativa cat mai puteti de marfa contrafacuta, pentru ca situatia incepe sa se inrautateasca pentru contrabandisti, pe care ii sfatuiesc doar: Feritiva!
