I am from Hong Kong. After heard about this "News", there is a picture in my mind: a little spy reporting the piracy a list of websites to the Customs, while he's receiving the latest mp3/video copy form his friend via BT/eMule/FTP/MSN etc. at the same time.

at least they try right? great way to occupied the kids in the summer, staring in front of the computer all day. why bother with this crap when everyone knows it's not even going to put a dent in the piracy industry. if everyone decided to get legit software in hk, bill gates will be much richer.

Having children spy to benefit private entities is distinctly similar to Hitler Youth. If you can't accept the fact that many people have different views than yourself, go hide in your own world- go back to cnn.com You seem to think Jews deserve special treatment, but what about the Gypsies? They were persecuted by Hitler too. No comparison is out of bounds, and it might start with music but it will probably end with reporting non-missionary-position sex and negative attitudes towards the government.

Like the movie Infernal Affairs the pirate organisations have infiltrated these snitches with double-agent kids.
