Came to China thinking that I would not tolerate any copy write infringement. That didn't last past the first week or I would have been on the next plane home. Then saw that even my England-based university looked the other way as students copied U.K. books for each other.
Today I, personally, went to the copy shop with an original text and ordered 20 copies for my students. I know it's not like I'm a chemistry teacher cooking meth, but I did feel a twinge of guilt. (Oh, now it's gone.)
On top of that, I broke down and bought over-the-counter penicillin from the pharmacy across the street for a respiratory infection. That's something else I used to personally object to. What's next? Spitting inside the gym while playing badminton and smoking a cigarette? Public urination and homicidal driving habits?
