China cracks down on fake goods
China's got a piracy problem on its hands. It's the world's biggest source of illegally copied goods. But with the Olympics coming up -- the country doesn't want fakes to flood the market. So, the country announced today that it is taking special care to prevent piracy. In fact, the government says, it already has started.
Last year, China convicted more than 4,000 people of product piracy. It seized six million pirated items, such as movies or software discs, and shut down 13,000 piracy-oriented businesses. It's as if to say: Don't worry. Send us your Nike swooshes and Adidas stripes. They're safe with us. Wink, wink.

I've just listened to Mr. Stein's concern for the poor working man. No doubt he drove his Bronco to the station to make his plea for the common man. Honestly, Ben Stein weeping for the common man's fate? After my sides stopped hurting from laughing ...
