[pchelpers] News:China's mandated Internet filter has pirated code: US firm

June 17, 2009 - 4:50AM

A small US firm specializing in parental controls for computers said
Tuesday that bits of its code were pirated in Internet filtering
software mandated for computers sold in China.

Solid Oak Software in Southern California has asked US computer makers
not to install the Green Dam Youth Escort Internet filtering program on
machines for the China market and is looking into its legal or
diplomatic options.

"It is just an out and out case of piracy," said Solid Oak founder and
president Brian Milburn.
