The U.S. and the World Trade Organization are concerned that China is not doing enough to tackle piracy. A lot of times movies still shown in theatres can be found in China and other countries by street vendors. The price is usually over a dollar and the image quality isn't that great. Some vendors disguise movies in anticipated movie covers. In China vendors are packaging other movies in Spider Man 3 packages. They cash on highly anticipated movies. Recent raids in Hong Konk destroyed millions of pirated movies, music, and software. Stiffer penalties and more raids should slow down the business.

Funny, the pirates remembered to put the anti-piracy label on the back, yet it won't even play in a DVD machine! Anything to make a buck it seems.
