China establishes a court for piracy cases

People indulging in practices of software and digital piracy in china have a huge reason to be scared off. The government in china has created a special court to prosecute product piracy cases.

This comes after demands for Beijing to step up action against rampant illegal copying of movies, music, software and other goods. The decision was taken by the China’s Supreme Court, which has now named a Judicial Court of Intellectual Property to handle such cases nationwide.

China is reported to be one of the biggest dens for production of illegal pirated digital content. The courts in the country convicted 741 people in 505 criminal product piracy cases last year but it does not seem to be enough.

They have also launched a Web site to publicize product piracy cases to scare people into avoiding getting into this business and get humiliated publicly on the internet.
