NeuroTypical Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Well, China executing white collar criminals is really nothing new. I remember back in the '80's, we were trying to get tough on them for all the software and music piracy coming out of China. So in a gesture of good faith, China executed some music pirates. Not really the most useful way to handle crime, IMO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(About the useful part, not the ethical part. )If China executed all pirates rather than just a handful of them, I can assure you, piracy would see a sharp decrease in that region, if for no other reason that sheer population decline :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
