IP theft continues to be a growing problem in China, I was reading a report that almost 60% of applications running on Asian computers are pirated (compare this to 20% in North America.)

Here's the report if you're interested: http://portal.bsa.org/globalpiracy2009/studies/09_Piracy_Stu...

I'm beginning to wonder if this is something we can continue to count our politicians to work on or if we need to address as a community. It will be interesting to see the stats in coming years due to the trend toward proprietary app stores and SaaS.
