It's apple's time now to be on the spotlight. Every move you make, every step you take, we'll be watching you. And then suing you.

[citation][nom]shafe88[/nom]Now why would the Chinese, need counterfeit stores to create jobs, when most every thing you buy now is made in china.[/citation]

That is a good point. Why would they, it was on the news recently as well as on several websites that there where actual counterfeit Apple stores that look almost exactly like the real thing selling counterfeit Apple products and the employees actually thought that they where working for Apple. They originally said that it would effect jobs but based on more recent events they made some progress on getting that resolved.

Just saw that more recently Chinese authorities found 22 fake stores in one city alone and that they are sending them notifications and have already shut down several of them. 22 in one City is significant though. Wonder what that number would be like if it was all cities.

This stuff is not hard to find on Google.

So wait a minute, now selling somebody else's work is piracy? I was under the impression that sharing without making profit was piracy...?

As my dad (born in China) puts it, "The Chinese government is in the Gilded Age. It's members are more occupied getting power and money than actually doing their job."
