Another campaign to fight online piracy named "Sword and the Internet" will begin at the end of June, Wang Zhicheng, a senior official of the National Copyright Administration, told a forum on Internet law and public policy at Peking University last week.

It is the eighth "Sword" campaign since 2005 organized by the administration in cooperation with the ministries of public security, and industry and information technology.

In the past eight years the combined effort has investigated more than 3,700 online infringements and shut down 1,500 illegal websites.
