Taiwan (aka R.O.C. - Republic of China) and China (PRC - People's Republic of China) are two different countries wth different legislation.

having lived in China PRC i would forget about it, piracy is absolutely tolerated and encouraged at any level and same goes in Taiwan.

copyright has no meaning in asia, unless you violate their copyright.
my experience with asians in general is they have no respect for copyright. in their mind you either copyright or you copywrong.

China doesn't pay for Microsoft Office or windows Operating systems so good luck with our already wimpy copyright protection on images! 

I think i've said this before but i'll say it again. I tend to think if the country can monetize off its content creators in the form of taxes and such, they will have laws that will protect or enforce copyright holders/violators. I don't think china has laws protecting content creators because china doesn't benefit from it... yet

what is bothering me that they selling products with my picture on, through alibaba to anywhere in the world , I care less about them selling in china

i bought my first Lenovo laptop in Beijing and it came with a genuine OEM windows XP in chinese and they installed for free a pirated english version for me.

my second Lenovo laptop, bought in Vietnam, same story but no OEM dvd included and in plus the guys at the store asked me to fill a form where i could select other apps to pre-installed, the list stretched from MS Office to full versions of Autocad and Visual Studio ! wow .. and the whole thing was attached to the receipt when i went back to pay and take the laptop.

now, if it's fully legal and sold as a premium service to install cracked copies of Autocad in the biggest computer shops you can guess how much protection we can expect regarding copyright and image theft ...
