MPAA Goes After China

Quote:
The U.S. will file two complaints against China at the World Trade Organization aimed at stopping what it said is piracy of copyrighted movies, music, software and books.

U.S. Trade Representative Susan Schwab announced that cases will be filed tomorrow at the Geneva-based trade arbiter. One case argues that China sets too high a value on pirated movie or music disks before prosecuting violators. The second objects to Chinese restrictions on the sale of foreign books and movies.

"This is something our industry has been frustrated about for a very long time," Dan Glickman, president of the Motion Picture Association of America, said in an interview. The WTO complaints "are long overdue."
Well, at least they're going after the folks who appear to be the biggest problem.
