The Gershwins is another interesting example. The music is out of copyright as George has been dead more than 50 years, but the lyrics are still in copyright as Ira is still alive. So you can record the music without paying royalties, but as soon as you add a singer...

Kinda OT but interesting all the same.

As to China, well they do have copyright laws, but not the infrastructure to enforce them. And even then, when they are enforced, the contraband ends up back on the street quick smart. How do I know this?.?.?
