nsane.forums Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Four men have been jailed in China for creating and distributing a version of Windows XP with authentication and certification systems disabled. Hong Lei, the creator of the web site dubbed Tomato Garden which distributed the code, was sentenced to three and a half years in prison and fined $146,000, with an accomplice getting the same sentence. Two other men were received two year sentences for their part in the scam. China has been accused of leading the world in the use of pirated software, although others say the problem is much worse in the industrialised world. Lately however it has been cracking down more firmly on pirates, and recently claimed the world's biggest piracy bust. "China's efforts to stop intellectual property theft have been weak and ineffective—heavy on tough talk but light on implementation," U.S. Congressman Howard Berman of California, who has been visiting Beijing, said in a statement issued by his office. "Hundreds of websites provide downloads and links to pirated movies, recordings and games." View: Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeetPirate Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 China has 1 billion people on average right? So technically they can't possibly jail all the pirates there else they might as well build a fence around half the country. :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

box Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 The only reason they got jailed was because China no longer has any use for XP since Win7 came out.I am also packing and fleeing China. China will come for me next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
