Apple is too big for that, at some point comrades from the Politburo start getting involved, as it hurts business.

Agreed. The Polit buro gets a cut of everything. The kind of jobs and wealth Apple creates in China? Massive. (Besides, I thought there was no copyright in China as "everything belongs to the people".

Not just that, China needs to draw a line in the sand or they will be seen as totally toxic by Western companies. That would mean less jobs, investments and ultimately http://www.fullissue.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Guilloti... for the leaders.

Doing this to Apple can get you in a few newspapers, and that's not good for China Inc :)
