[quote=TRAVELLERMIKE,243310]Protection of IPR is something people must believe in before it can be protected effectively within law.  I think it will be difficult for people in China to see the value of IPR protection while the 'victims' are seen as rich Californian artists and studios, or big western corporations.

The fact is that to develop properly, China's own industries will require confidence in their IPR protection, as will artists, along with other potential 'victims' of  unregulated 'copies'.  In my view this argument must be won within China before it can become a subject of International agreement.  It will be no bad thing if China decides what is good for the long term prosperity of China, and then decides how to come to terms with the US pressures.

Related to this whole debate, I worry at the bad example set by most western tourists, tempted by 'bootleg' materials, when they visit China, who simply re-inforce the impression that this type of 'piracy' is a 'no-loser' trade.[/quote]
