reason:
1. such activities are usually conducted anonymously and it is extremely difficult to trace the origin of the culprit.
intellectual property rights infringement rarely resulted in criminal prosecution.

even if the tracing is technically possible, numerous resources would have to be engaged in such attempts and it would certainly put a heavy burden on the enforcement agencies.
2. the emergence of BitTorrent and other softwares have facilitated such activities for it expedites tremendously the sharing of huge files, such as those video and audio materials.
This type of software offers peer to peer communication without going through a server will also help hide the identity of the perpetrator.
3. as a final point, it is people's inclination of getting free lunch without much risk of getting caught that boosts the illegal sharing of copyrighted materials.
4. people do not regard intellectual property as real property. There is a Chinese saying that goes, "All original works to a certain degree are copies imitations of other people's works."
With this kind of concept in the Chinese mindset, no wonder people have no qualms about copying the works of others without giving them due credits.
effects:
1. jeopardize the very survival of the movie entertainment industry which they derive much pleasure. Revenues from productions will go way down because of infringement activities. Nobody will invest millions of dollars to shoot a move only to find people snatching it for free and not going to theatres or purchasing a copyrighted DVD?
solutons:
1. stricter enforcement and punishment are absolutely necessary to combat infringement activities
people who download the copyrighted materials are aware that it is illegal but they seldom encounter prosecution of such crimes.
Although In Hong Kong a few years ago a man was sentenced to a maximum of four years in prison for sharing files on a BitTorent website, most people can easily get away with it.

2. updating our current laws and legislations would be the most immediate measure.
They were enacted quite some time ago and are outdated.
For effective enforcement, loopholes need to be plugged and grey areas need to be clarified.
3. indispensable to reinforce public education.
The governemt should step up 加強 more awareness campaigns in the media and schools to hit home the message that infringement activities will come full circle to hurt us in the end.
Only through education at an early age can students be inculcated with the awareness and respect for intellectual property rights.
