  • Potential punishments for operating a pirate karaoke system of any kind are fairly severe in Hong Kong.

    Under local copyright law, “[A]ny person who, without the license of the copyright owner of a copyright work, possesses infringing copies of a copyright work for the purpose of, or in the course of, any trade or business with the view to it being used by any person commits an offense. The maximum penalty upon conviction is a fine of $50,000 (US$6,400) per infringing copy and imprisonment for four years,” Hong Kong Customs notes.

  • NEW DELHI, July 30 (Reuters) - India is not re-thinking on the issue of allowing Chinese investments into the country, Trade Minister Piyush Goyal said on Tuesday. Earlier in July, India’s Chief Economic Adviser V. Anantha Nageswaran said New Delhi should focus on Foreign Direct Investments from China to boost its exports and help keep India’s growing trade deficit with Beijing in check. The economic survey recommendations are not binding on the government, Goyal said. India’s Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, however, had backed Nageswaran’s suggestion to allow more Chinese investment into the country.
