    I hate to hear this kind of news. this will furtherly encourage C2C(copy to china)business model in china. as a result, the first thing coming into chinese young entrepreneurs's mind is how to copy, not innovate.

    @ keanu:

    It's not just website concepts they're learning to copy, but also all forms of intellectual property: music, movies, you name it!
