China and Russia top list of worst copyright violators
China and Russia are the two worst foreign infringers of U.S. software and music copyrights and they should remain on the U.S. government's priority watch list, a group representing the software, music, books, and movie industries said Monday, February 12. The International Intellectual Property Alliance (IIPA) put out the figures as part of its recommendations to the U.S. Trade Representative. China topped all rivals on the IIPA most_wanted list by pumping out $2.21 billion worth of pirated goods last year, mainly business software, according to IIPA figures. Russia ran a close second at $2.18 billion, it said. They could stop it if they wanted to, same as drugs and other illegal activities. Its all a game to them.
