I used to spend a lot of time over in Thailand, Hong Kong and Korea and you could pretty much buy anything pirated: CD's, software, designer fashion, watches.
As the east/west start to integrate consumer markets more and more there will be more crackdowns on piracy. It is increasingly more difficult to get these types of things into the US.

I can't say that I'm suprised. IMO Cisco's a software company. The hardware just happends to come with the software sometimes

You should see what yo can get on CD in Shanghai.
Even before software, games, and movies are out in the US, it is available enmass in Shanghai.
Did yo u know that you can get eleven episodes to the Harry Potter story in China? The author hasn't even written more than 5 or 6.
The pace of the traditional, old, regulated west just cant keep up with real free market economics. It is the Wild Wild East.
BTW, good luck to Cisco. In China civil law is a really new concept thrust on them only because of pressure from their forien markets. A few years ago, there was only criminal courts and criminal law. Contracts had no legal basis!
