[LINK] Not a good week to shop in Beijing

[Peter Bowditch]

Long ago anecdote -

An executive from Lotus (remember them?) was in Australia to give a 
conference talk about how illegal copying of software was costing 
companies like his huge amounts of lost income. He was very annoyed by 
this and wanted severe action to be taken against pirates.

At drinks after the conference he was proudly showing off his fake Rolex 
watch that he had bought in Hong Kong. "Looks just like a real one", he 
said.

Irony was not his strong suit.
