The "One-Hundred-Day Operation Against Pirated Editions" has been launched continuously in an in-depth and lasting manner by China's public security organs all over the country since August 2006, at which heavy blows are being hit on various kinds of violation of law and criminal activities involving IPR infringement and pirated editions.
According to incomplete statistics, by the end of August this year, more than 32,000 publication sales markets and operation units had been censored successively by the country's public security organs jointly with the departments concerned. As a result, 355 operation units which had seriously violated the law and committed criminal offences were banned, 6.472 million pirated publications of various descriptions were seized and 780 IPR infringement and pirated edition cases were investigated and unearthed.
