China Moves To Outlaw OS Piracy

Chinese Authorities say they are cracking down on the use of pirate software in the Populous Republic.

A spokesman for the National Copyright Administration, Wang Ziqiang, said that from now on all computers produced and sold in China must have authentic operating system software installed, the People’s Daily reports.

As the operating system is necessary to a new computer, the requirement at this time is specifically focussed on this type of software, Wang said.
