Road and Bridge Branch of Taizhou Public Security Bureau, Zhejiang
Successfully smashed a multi-provincial one
Major cases of production and sale of pirated books.
The police confiscated it
More than 260,000 books were suspected of infringement and piracy.
Cunning suspects
"This book stinks too much to be true. Mr. Wang, who lives in Luqiao District, Taizhou City, bought a batch of supplementary books from the Internet in November last year, but the books in his hand had a strong smell, which made him uncomfortable after a while, so he did not dare to give them to his children.
Mr. Wang, who realized that he had purchased a fake book, immediately reported the case, and the Luqiao police quickly set up a special team, starting from the clues received one after another, and searched for the initiator through major shopping platforms.
"The suspect is very cunning and will price these books at about 20% or even 7% off the genuine version, causing consumers to mistakenly think that they are buying genuine copies. Wang Rudong, deputy captain of the Food and Drug Ring Brigade of the Luqiao Public Security Bureau, introduced.
The police who handled the case clicked on the product link and found that most of the pirated books on sale were priced at "high discounts" on the basis of the price of genuine books, and the pricing would not differ too much from the genuine ones. In this way, it not only hides the identity of pirated books and confuses consumers, but also increases sales.
Due to their cheap prices and many types of sales, these pirated books occupy the forefront of shopping platform searches, seriously squeezing the sales space of genuine books.
Complex sales lines
"The production and sale of inferior pirated books not only infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of copyright owners, but also disrupts the market, forming a vicious circle in which bad money drives out good money, and poor production materials are more likely to harm the user's body. Chen Peng, captain of the Food and Drug Ring Brigade, said.
After further investigation, the Luqiao police found that an online store selling pirated books was operated by the suspects Ding and Liu, and the source of the pirated books was a book wholesaler surnamed Zhang, and Zhang had a superior wholesaler, and there was a "superior" above the wholesaler.
Although the sales links are intertwined, it was learned that all the pirated books pointed to an underground printing factory in Shandong, and its wholesalers and sales online stores were located in Hunan, Jiangsu, Shandong and other three provinces and six cities.
Crazy profit margins
After completely grasping this criminal chain of pirated books, the Luqiao police divided into multiple routes in February and March this year, and collected the network in batches in Hunan, Jiangsu, Shandong and other places, and arrested seven criminal suspects including Ding and Zhang in one fell swoop, and successfully completely cut off this criminal chain suspected of producing and selling infringing and pirated books.
At the scene, the police seized more than 260,000 suspected infringing and pirated books, and the amount involved amounted to more than 800 yuan.
After interrogation, it was learned that the price of the pirated book on the platform was 25 to 30 yuan. Pirated books, on the other hand, are made of low-cost, low-quality materials, with an actual cost of only 5 to 6 yuan and a profit of up to 400%.
At present, the case is under further investigation.

How to identify pirated books
One sniff
The smell of pirated books is not ordinarily heavy, and the pungent smell of ink can simply make people dizzy! If you read a book and find that you have allergic symptoms or even eye pain, then it is very likely that it is a pirated book.
Second
Weigh the weight: genuine books are genuine, and they are a heavy love given to readers by editors and authors; in order to maximize profits, pirated books are generally "short of pounds and short of two", and they are fluttering in their hands, and everyone can know them by hand.
Weigh the price: The price of pirated books will generally be cheaper than genuine books, if the price of the book you buy is super low, then you have to be careful! Especially like those new books in the current season 9.9 free shipping to take away, basically pirated copies are not gone.
Three touches
Touch the paper: The genuine paper is thick and textured, but the paper of the pirated book is brittle and thin, and the thickness is uneven in some places, and there will be light transmission when viewed against the light.
Touch and cut: Genuine books are cut neatly and smoothly; pirated incisions are sharp, uneven, without rounded corners, and even with raw edges, which is particularly easy to scratch hands, which is also a major safety hazard.
Touch binding: Normally, if the genuine book exceeds 200 pages, it will be changed to glue or lock the line, so that the bound book is stronger, but the pirated book will be bound in a cheap way, and the page often drops.
Four finds
Look for anti-counterfeiting: The ISBN number on the copyright page is like the ID number of a book, you can check it carefully.
Looking for giveaways: Genuine book giveaways are complete, and pirated books are not gifted with books at all or are slightly perfunctory.
Find mistakes: Piracy is shoddy, and there are often typographical errors and typos.
Find a phone: If necessary, you can also call the consultation number on the book to confirm whether it is genuine.
Five looks
Look at the folio: the genuine version is the standard folio, and piracy often has a small and thin folio.
Look at the appearance: see if the waist seal is designed with the cover, whether there is any process, the workmanship of the genuine book is meticulous and exquisite, the craftsmanship is complete, and the pirated book can be saved, and there are many loopholes.
Look at the color: whether there are different shades of color, see whether the text and pictures are clear, look at the color of the paper, generally the genuine version is white, and the pirated version is yellow, and see whether there is a serious color difference between the cover and the inner picture.
Look at the copyright page: Check whether the content of the copyright page is complete and whether the barcode is consistent with the barcode on the back cover. If the information is missing, it is pirated.
Look at the text: see whether the printing or cutting of the text is tilted, see if there are a large number of typos and omissions in the text, see whether the color of the text is not correct, the picture is deformed, and see whether the layout of the picture and text is coordinated.
Qian Baojun suggested everyone
