Beijing police have arrested 11 suspects allegedly involved in a major online provider of high-definition film downloads, whose scale of piracy was described by authorities as "unprecedented." The action is China's latest effort to strengthen intellectual property rights protection, following the destruction of some 29.44 million pirated publications, including audio and visual products and books, earlier this year.

In another development, a revised draft of the Copyright Law was submitted to the Legislative Affairs Office of the State Council for approval in April.
