Piracy + Cars

I ran across this story while wandering around the internet this evening, and it struck me as terribly funny. Mostly because I was creating this dialogue in my head:

Chevrolet Big-Shot: We need to make more money for the company (note: this is, after all why companies exist), so let's build a factory in China where the labor is cheaper!

Other Chevrolet Big-Shots: Excellent idea!

Some time later....

Chevrolet Big-Shots: They're copying our perdy designs and stuff! Doesn't the US have laws against that sort of thing?!

Chevrolet Big-Shot: ....

And this, kids, is why IP laws, when mixed with the global market, are so entertaining.
