Eh, this is getting silly. There are Chinese nationals working in the West, obviously they see how systems are made. Then they can go back and build something similar based on their knowledge - you can't copyright someone's brain.

I keep thinking that if, hypothetically, i would be in charge of a developing economy, I would not recognise foreign copyright and patents untill the country can catch up, at least on medicine and software. Especially the idea that breaking copyright is a crime and not a civil offence is an absurdity
