I wonder, how much is the comission for turning in someone?

I can imagine these prizes and rules:

100,000 yuans for turinig in a parent or a sibling.
10,000 yuans for turning in another relative.
5,000 yuans for others.
0 yuans for governmet and party officials.

Rules:
1. Payment is made if there are convctions based on the testimony of the informer.
2. If the informer has to leave the country to avod a life threatening situation, the Chinese government will give 5,000 yuans for travel expenses.
3. If the jailed parent is the sole provider of food and shelter of the informet, the government will thereafter provide food and sheler to the informer, until the informer becomes a legal adult.
4. All program government expenses are paid for by RIAA and MPAA.

The Chinese scouts get the cartel version of IP “law”. It’s very unambiguous. Guilty until proven innocent. It would be too bothersome and confusing to try to explain that copyright and IP law has a whole other side that is ostensibly in place to protect the rights of THE PUBLIC…

“You’re a thought criminal!”

“Knowledge of IP law is, of course, absolutely essential for every scout, as we noted. And to make that crystal clear, the Holly Kong government staged a ‘Respect for Intellectual Property Rights Fun Fair’ at Kowloon Park Piazza”.

Funny thing. You put two USA lawyers in opposing sides of any infringement lawsuit and they cannot agree on how to interpret the law and its frequently contradictory jurisprudence. They cannot even agree on what is infringement. And someone expects some kids in China to have “Knowledge of IP law”? And act as informers on “infringer” frineds? Someone must be pulling my leg.
