Hopefully, Solid Oak (producers of Cybersitter, the software whose IP Green Dam violates ) will go ahead and sue the fluck out of all the companies that ship PC's with Green Dam included.

China wants to bully it's own populace? Fine; beyond some internet indignation and editiorials, the average Zhou doesn't really seem to mind, as far as I can tell. But I hope and pray that this doesn't set the precedent of the Chinese govt going ahead and telling foreign companies they have to be complicit in open and flagrant violations of U.S. and E.U. copyright law.

It takes a lot of f**king nerve for Sony and Acer to go ahead and usurp Solid Oak's IP, but I am sure they have a crack team of lawyers ready to storm the gates.

Yah, 中国加油... what a joke

Rebecca, you are still mis-translating stuff about Green Dam, all seem to be in an effort to propagandiz your position that somehow the Chinese government is making people use this software.

This is not the case at all, as end users were never under any mandate to install or use this software.

Here's the correct translation of section 4 and 5 titles:

"Location of Original Software Installation Articles:"

"Software Install/Uninstall Guide:"

As you can see, Sony bundled the software as per 5/19 MIIT announcement, but did not install it. That choice is still freely up to the end users.
