Ex Officio Enforcement Against Hard Goods Piracy Needed: Prior IIPA reports have documented in detail the hard goods piracy problems in Vietnam, including traditional CD/DVD piracy (e.g., high-quality counterfeits from China as well as home-made pirated optical discs), and “media box” piracy.9 Though MCST has indicated its recognition of the hard goods piracy problem, it has devoted few resources, and has not undertaken ex officio actions to date. Vietnamese Customs authorities should take ex officio actions to intercept infringing imports, especially high quality counterfeits from China.
