220 mil Chinese users

And how many have a legal copy of anything? When I lived there you could buy Windows or Office in the street for about 60 US cents.

Within 200 meters of my home there were five places I could buy software for this price. Movies and games were the same price. To buy a DVD-RW at a supermarket cost more than twice the price of a movie. Books, in English, are not as easily available but a collection of the seven Hally Potter books cost me about $5 USD and Clinton's Bio was $3 USD.

You could even buy fake Mercedes Benz's, and Burberry is the most common sight in the fashion world; almost all fake. A nice leather "Boss" laptop back set me back $10 US.
