| Re: So much for a smaller government... TK,
Enforcement for many countries is lackluster. China has seen some major crack downs as of late. However, once this hoopla for the Olympics ends, I see them going back to old ways. As for Russia, well a few minor busts have happened. However, it's Russia. These won't go anywhere. As for the rest of the world, when you got an unstable or repressive government, I think they worry little about piracy. Their mainstay is staying in power. I highly doubt the Junta in former Burma, the Warlords in Africa, etc are too concerned about piracy. These initiatives will go little if anywhere to stop it. Too many countries in this world are unstable and rife with poverty. Wherever you have these two elements, piracy flourishes. You have A) Little Enforcement B) People with limited resources wanting to enjoy stuff (Music, movies, etc). |
