   if they can stop china, then it’s as if they’ve overcome half of the world’s piracy

   True. Piracy is a difficult thing to get rid of, since it’s always up to oneself to see if they should pirate it or not. There are always people who would buy the original copies of games, movies or whatever if they think that it’s really worth their money…

   When they say “major video-sharing websites”, don’t they mean fansubbers as well?

   Anyhow, I don’t really think they will be able to do much in China.

   Ok, hey, whatever >_>; We don’t need to spark a major flame war in NotCliche, kayz?

   But then again, it would be better if they get a brain and try to earn money through a different method. After all, how successful were they with all their previous efforts? Still, I doubt I am willing to cash in on anime/music/move DVDs unless I am really interested in them.

   You know that this is very offensive and racist… Even though you might not agree with the way they run their government, there are still people there that have nothing to do what the government is doing.

   LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL, how is it racist if I’m aiming at a government? It’d be racist if I said all of china but no, I only aimed at the organization (aka communist government). Did me commenting to get rid of the communist chinese government offend you? You support communism? Get your facts straight.

   Do they actually think that ending internet distribution would get Chinese to buy DVDs they can’t afford? If they really stopped all piracy — which I think is impossible — I think their overseas market would collapse. Streaming anime on sites with advertising is the better way to get paid for their work.

   I thought Coorie’s comment was ironic. At least I hope it was, lol. In any case, media piracy is one way Chinese get more freedom in their lives, making up for ways in which they are not free. Not to get all serious, but I think most people in China are pretty happy with the state of affairs there right now. Especially if they can rein in the corruption of local officials, as they are trying to do. After all, the economic downturn is officially over in China this week.

   By the way, downloading copyrighted material is still legal in Canada. At least for now. For music, the government puts an extra fee on blank CDs and uses the money to pay musicians. A similar system may or may not be set up for DVDs.

   Getting rid of boot-leg anything is a very difficult thing to do. Dozens more pop up where one is gotten rid of. What will most likely happen is that they will destroy three or four large sites and then declare victory and go home. On a side note I wonder if they will also turn their eyes toward fan subs?
