Nicolas Papaconstantinou commented on 'Harry Potter and the Brazen Knock-offs'

I imagine that the Chinese people have other things to worry about... besides which, it is a cultural thing that I guess they have gotten used to: This has been happening with movies and such over there for years.

And of course, I'm sure JK Rowling is at a financial point where she can be philosophical about such things, although it must grate a little...

(None of which makes it okay, of course, but there is enough of this sort of nonsense happening in the West without getting too wound up about an issue that would seem to have risen out of an Eastern cultural thing... And there are other things that are more objectionable going on in China that need dealing with first!)

To G.T: The reason, of course, is to make more money then you would by just recycling the same seven books. Doing it that way, you only make seven sales per customer. The more knock-offs you make, the more sales per customer you can pull off.
