Yan Liang of Xinhua News reports that "nearly half of the Chinese provinces have taken initiatives to collect karaoke copyright royalties by the end of 2007 in an effort to protect intellectual property rights (IPR) in audio and video sectors."
"An official with the country's IPR protection group echoed Liu, saying that the move marked new progress in property protection." One could describe 15 out of a total of 22 provinces, where initiatives to collect karaoke copyright royalties took place, as a meagre result. Then again, from 0 to something is progress.
