No - you're incorrect there. In China music pirating gets a 10 on a scale
of 10. Software pirating, a 10 on the same scale. Video pirating ..
another 10.
In the states, music CD pirating gets a 0.005. Video pirating .. as you
point out .. is a much bigger buisiness .. it gets a 0.02. And software
pirating in the US gets a 1 or 2. (relative to the scores given
China-pirates.)
