Xinhua reports that the Chinese government has released a draft amendment to its copyright law for public comment. The amendment would raise penalties from 100,000 yuan (16,025 USD) to 250,000 yuan (40,063 USD), and would give law enforcement greater powers to seize illicit goods. It is seeking comments on the legislation until July 5.
