NCAC begins rewarding informants with cash

Currently, as a way of making the public enthusiastic about combating piracy, the anti-piracy informant center of the National Copyright Administration of China has officially awarded informants like Mr. Ma, with cash.

It is the first time that the center has rewarded the public with cash since the informant hot-line was released.

On March 17, 2008, the center answered Mr. Ma's phone call. He said there was a warehouse of pirated goods at a specific location in Shanxi province. After the careful investigation, the informant center transferred this case to the Copyright Administration of Shanxi province promptly.

On March 24, Shanxi's Copyright Administration lawfully forfeited more than 3,000 pirated books of Luo, the charged party, and served him with an administrative penalty of 5,000 RMB.
