There are piracy laws, it's just that they're not strictly enforced. Just recently the police had a big media event where they crushed all the seized counterfeit goods with a steamroller. They do this every year, but it's just a stunt so they can say to the US they are actually doing something, but in reality it's just a tiny drop in the ocean of all counterfeit goods. Raids are pretty rare, and the traders are usually tipped off beforehand, and bribery ensures raids on manufacturers and distributors are non-existant.
