When are these idiots going to learn it's only a matter of time until they go the way of Fellowes? Fellowes lost their entire shredder business to the Commies.

Good for the Chinese.
I hope they rip off Apple big time and they go the way of Fellowes.
Couldn't happen to a better company.

Counterfeit World Of Warcraft Theme Park Opens In China July 22, 2011 The Chinese may have been the first to invent gunpowder and delicious pork-filled fried dumplings, but they have not caught up to the rest of the world when it comes to respecting intellectual property rights. Case in point, the recent opening of an entire themepark dedicated to World of Warcraft and Starcraft, two of the most popular online games in the world, in the Changzhou, Jiangsu province. It's a sprawling $30 million megaplex spanning 600,000 square meters that aspires to compete with Disney and Universal Studios as a global theme park destination. And it's a total knockoff. They didn't pay Blizzard, the company behind those two games, a dime. The folks over at Shanghaist visited the park and took lots of pictures and detailed the experience. The place is massive. There are statues all over the place taller than a grown man with characters from the two video games. The funniest part is how even though they stole all the details and characters from the games, they know they can't go all out and call it "World of Warcraft Land" (although from the initial schematics that surfaced online a few months ago made it look like that was basically their original intention). They have to come up with their own phraseology. So Warcraft World is called "The Terrain of Magic." The Starcraft ripoff zone is called "Universe of Starship." The entire park is called "World Joyland." Ripping off Apple stores wholesale is one thing, but it really takes gumption to steal an entire themepark. consumerist.com/2011/07/counterfeit-wow-theme-park-opens-in-china.html================================== apple Completely Fake Apple Stores Found In China July 20, 2011 (BirdAbroad) An American blogger living in the middle of China was amazed to stumble across a fake Apple store in her town. It was a complete counterfeit of a real Apple store, designed to look like the real thing. It had signage, and employees walking around in the iconic blue shirts with those lanyard nametags. It had the big long wooden tables with Apple products on them and the typical Apple store winding staircase. But certain details were off. BirdAbroad noticed that, for instance, none of the employee nametags had their names on it. They just said "staff." And Apple never writes "Apple Store" on their signs, they just put up their logo. A 10-minute walk revealed two more such stores. While the store is listed as a reseller of Apple products, it doesn't meet Apple's strict image control guidelines, and even if it were an authorized Premium Reseller, it would have to identify itself as such. Instead, it's a ghettoized version of an Apple reseller, trying to pass itself off like an official Apple store. With the attention BirdAbroad's blog post is getting, I imagine the fake store will be getting a visit from some real Apple agents very shortly. Are you listening, Steve Jobs?

So what do you do in that World of Warcraft themepark? Grind, ninja-loot, and nerd-rage?
