That's hard for small book stores like Full Circle to overcome. "The minute you have a best seller, it doesn't even take five days for book pirates to sell it on the street," laments Malhotra.

American software and music companies say that more than $3.5 billion worth of their goods are pirated in China each year. The U.S. has pushed China to step up its enforcement of intellectual-property rights, arguing that it's one way to narrow a trade gap that reached $268 billion last year.
