盗版是一个严重的问题在中国，你的意见如何？-英语口语练习话题精编第20节

盗版是一个严重的问题在中国,尤其是在这个领域的出版物。你的意见？

Piracy is a serious problem in China, especially in the field of publication. Whats your opinion?

Well, it is true that piracy is very serious now. Books are printed before they are officially published and film copies are sold before they are officially released, thus, causing heavy loss for the publisher and the national revenue. Moreover, its a serious violation of the property law in China. The Chinese government has done a lot of work to crack down piracy, for example, education, stiffer sentencing, precautions, etc. but many people simply ignore all these and have a go due to the huge profit. On the other hand, theres a group of people who like to get pirate copies with cheap price. I think the government should also punish those people who like to get fake copies. Meanwhile DVD or VCD player producers should produce those sets incompatible with fake copies.
