Punishing pirates

Scarcely a week goes by without a seizure of pirated goods by SAR police or Customs and Excise officers. Even so, the trade in illegal CDs, VCDs and CD-ROMs
(36) A. has dropped since the threat of US
           sanctions.
       B. is being targeted by the Customs and
           Excise Department.
       C. was mentioned by the Chief Executive in
           his last Policy Address.
       D. continues to be as brisk and blatant as ever.

In Hong Kong there are an estimated 200-300 shops selling fake products
(37) A. sometimes above the cost of the real
            versions.
        B. at prices comparable to cheap copies.
        C. at a fraction of the price of the genuine
            articles.
        D. on a two-for-one exchange basis.

The sight of customers snapping up illegal copies of the latest movies at MTR stations emphasises yet again
(38) A. that it does not require intensive detective
           work to locate pirate outlets.
       B. that Customs and Excise need to monitor
           how pirated VCDs are brought into Hong
           Kong.
       C. how difficult it is to find good movies if
            you live in out-of-the-way places.
       D. how some districts may be discriminated
           against.

Pirated products are readily available at well-known venues every day. The factories producing pirated copies may be difficult to track down, but
(39) A. the places where these pirated goods are
           copied are obvious to many people.
        B. it ought to be a simple matter for the
           authorities to stop the open hawking of
           these goods.
       C. it is a simple matter for Customs and
           Excise to inspect vans and lorries as they
          enter from China.
       D. it ought to be possible to prevent the
           materials used for making illegal copies
           from crossing the border.

In recent years, the total number of pirated discs intercepted annually by the Customs and Excise Department has increased,
(40) A. and it will prosecute illegal traders in
            future.
        B. and it has had more success against the
            illegal trade.
        C. but this practice will stop soon.
        D. but victory is as far away as ever.

And while the illegal trade continues to flourish, it is
(41) A. the local film industry and genuine
           suppliers who shoulder the heavy cost.
       B. the cross-border surveillance teams who
           need the extra support.
       C. the police who too often turn a blind eye to
           the trade.
       D. the legal traders who are making a
           substantial effort.

Last month, Hong Kong’s largest distributor of legitimate software, Deltamac, closed because it said it was impossible to make a profit in an industry where
(42) A. the police are doing nothing to help
           genuine traders.
       B. Customs and Excise frequently take illegal
           traders to court.
       C. pirates do 10 times more business than
           legal companies.
        D. business has fallen as a result of the
            economic downturn.

The video chain Take 5 had to close earlier in the year for the same reason. The loss in revenue to the SAR from piracy is estimated to amount to more than $951 million a year. As legitimate enterprises close,
(43) A. piracy may simply move offshore to other
            Asian countries such as Thailand.
       B. pirates will go on making good profits.
       C. Hong Kong will push for law and order.
       D. cross-border patrols by Customs and
           Excise will need to be increased.

Meanwhile, the US government will continue to accuse Hong Kong of not doing enough to stamp out a trade which is doing considerable harm domestically
(44) A. while leaving plenty of scope for genuine
            traders to make a profit.
        B. although it is having a positive impact on
            foreign exports.
        C. as well as hurting trading relations with
            other nations.
        D. and is still boosting the local economy.

A recent study commissioned by the US Business Software Alliance claimed that
(45) A. rampant piracy would cost Hong Kong
           10,000 jobs and
       B. US companies would suffer little except
           for
       C. US-HK trade relations might eventually
           account for
       D. piracy provided employment and Hong
           Kong could expect
$1 billion in lost sales by 2001.

In September, raids on 26 shops in the Sino Centre
(46) A. were abandoned after illegal traders
            received a warning and fled.
       B. were conducted in complete secrecy by
           Customs and Excise.
       C. found that most shops were selling more
            legal than illegal VCDs.
        D. netted 200,000 pirated discs of Japanese
           films worth $2 million.

However, the raids were carried out only after complaints from a delegation of TV programme makers who
(47) A. flew over specially from Tokyo to see the
           situation for themselves.
       B. had received letters of complaint from
           illegal companies.
       C. did not believe that Hong Kong was the
           centre for copying and piracy.
       D. were in Hong Kong to dispute the amount
          of copying here.

The $900 million-plus in pirated goods seized by Customs officers this year is only the tip of the iceberg. Greater effort and stiffer sentences for offenders will be needed if piracy is ever to be brought under effective control.
