China Rules Microsoft Violated Intellectual Property Rights
A Beijing court has ruled that Microsoft violated a Chinese company's intellectual property rights in a case over fonts used in past Windows operating systems. The ethical issue is that the pirated version of Windows 7 were on sale in one of Beijing bazaars in weeks before the software was release the previous month. This is mostly that Windows use Chinese fonts and that was stopped by Beijing Number One Intermediate People's court.In my opinion, if the newest software versions has been sale the previous month, why would you want to sale the pirated versions on the street. For me, I won't even sale a pirated version unless I could get permission from the company if I can pirated. So, what is the best way to do: to sale the pirated versions before it sale the previous month or wait for the newest versions of Windows 7?
US Companies in China Ask Obama for Help on Piracy
U.S. President Barack Obama is looking forward to work with China for increasing the protection of intellectual property rights. The ethical issue in this article shows that pirated video games, DVDs, and software are widely sold the streets and markets of China. It is considered that U.S. recognized China as a market economy.Do you really think that U.S. believe that they can help China? If so, explain the situation. For me, it would be a good idea to protect piracy issues on intellectual property. This can help China improve its marketing economy for their future in business.
It was stupid for this people to sell a pirated version of Microsoft Windows 7 before it even came out. This is similar to the case where one million people got banned from xbox live for playing pirated versions of the new Call of Duty a week before it came out.
ReplyDeleteCompanies should not invest in China where the law is not clear. Such risky ventures may be worth it because of cheap labor and manufacturing cost but the down fall is the legal system may hurt the company making it lose more than it wins.
ReplyDeleteHow can the U.S. expect China to colaborate with stoping pirated movies and music? This is not very logical because pirating is a very big and open business all over China that isn't seen as bad as it is in other parts of the world. The Chinees government takes very harsh actions when they do so. If they decide to take action against the pirating industry a lot of people will fall under crimianls and the government would have to deal with this.
ReplyDeletefirst of all the to stop piracy in chine isnt combinient at all if what akira and nur said is right, as the U.S. wants to be the best economy in the world, so they wouldnt help chine if that means that china would improve, as chine is already a threat to the U.S.. then if the U.S. would help china with piracy, they would have to help the whole world, as if it is stopped in china, those who pirated from china will start pirating in other countries.
