Come and see the real deal, see how normal piracy and copyright infringement in China is, this is the sort of thing you won't usually see outside of China
Man, these old videos give me nostalgia. I remember as a teenager playing computer games and always having your videos playing in the background. Still watching your videos to this day!
Me, as a Chinese who have lived in China for 22 years. I admit, we really do not give a sxxt about copyright, even our government. So, basically, all Chinese are using or used piracy. In the past, we used piracy because we do not know it is bad, we do not even know it is piracy. But recently years, more and more young Chinese people know using piracy is illegal, is a bad thing, but most of them still download things, play piracy games. The main reason is our government choose to ignore. Even some of Chinese feel guilty to use piracy, they still use it because it is free and they know nobody gonna arrest them. So it does not change the result even most of Chinese realize this issue(a few Chinese try to abandon piracy totally nowadays, but it is very hard to do it in China).Futhermore, lots of people still do not know they are using piracy. For example, in the past, downloading music is free. And nowadays, downloading music from music player app of China is paid. So people think paid music is genuine, they are listening genuine music now. But in fact, those songs still are piracy. Those music player apps do not have the songs' copyright but they still collect money. So, those users think those songs became genuine from piracy, but in fact, they just became ‘paid piracy’. In my opinion, it seems that piracy make our life easier and more convenient. Absolutely, you can download almost anything on the Internet without payment. It help us with saving money. But on the other hand, it ruined our creation. The industry in China which was impacted by piracy is a piece of sxxt.
In fact most of the websites buy the movie and drama themseves and they do have the copyright, like youku, tudou and aiqiyi. Then they let mainland users see them free online and gain advertisement money (that's why chinese website usually have a 3min or more longer ad as you can see in the video). And if you don't have a chinese IP you can't see any copyright content on these websites. Because China has 6 hundred million of internet users so the websites can easily make a lot of money by advertisement if they have good quality online contents. So just remeber you can see it free online in China ≠ it's 100% piracy and copyright infringement.
Cardi Jey Youku and tudou is the same company. Every uploaded video has to be checked before public release. It seems youtube doesn't check any newly uploaded video? I see many pirate chinese movie here.
Thanks for clearing it up for me. I knew that consoles were banned, but I had no idea that you can STILL get them in stores. It's very wierd and fascinating, for sure
Copyright is really an interesting topic as I recalled in chinese history and culture, all these culture, art stuff are for free, people donate money instead of paying it to the creaters of the work, this phenomenon has lasted since very early dynasty in China. I wasn't aware about this until I arrived at UK 2 years ago as I found out I have to pay 300 times as it was in China about games and movies, etc.
We've been using Funshion for years here in the States. It's pretty sweet, but one of the things that irritates me about it is that sometimes the movie we want to watch is available only in a cam version.
What about setting up a VPN or something like that? Should I just get some random VPS in the states, or do you have any suggestions? I don't want to do anything bad, just get on youtube and facebook (I hear it's banned).
the movie and tv series are not pirate, the website will pay the copyright fee.。music are pirate。 One web（快播） site was fined 260 000 000 rmb for the pirate this year .
True, most movies and dramas on Tudou, Youku, Sohu and Fengxing, etc are legitimate, they are free but legitimate. If you are looking for pirate things you should be using Kuaibo(快播) and other torrent sites. For example, search [movie name] + qvod, you will get to most illegal pirate sites that use Kuaibo. Search [movie name] + BT下载, you will get to most illegal torrent sites.
How does it work with other types of (digital and non-digital) media? For example, software (downloadable, CD/DVDs), books, e-books, magazines etc. - Is it pirated as well all the time?
yes. you can get any electronic games/software you want(of course after hackers cracked them), you can download many e-book/magazine, but if it's not popular you may just won't find it.
you can find almost everything by internet. for the same reason, there's not a lot of pirated non-digital things, because nothing can be cheaper and more convenient than free downloadable things. people will only pay for the real ones when they decide to buy physical media. In fact, piracy is also illegal according to chinese law. it's popular because it's rarely to be punished
Actually,now it is more popular to watch movies at cinemas, especially the movies that are newly released. Yes,it is free for the audiences,it isn`t free for the websites.The websites (like Youku,Tudou) need to spend lots of money on the copyright of TV plays (such as TBBT,Sherlock). Then they earn money from the ads. That's why it is free for us. To be honest, this kind of websites don`t earn a lot money,some of the websites are actually under deficit.
do you import game if they are banned? for instance can you still have Sleeping Dogs, that is banned in main land china and how do they go on about looking for this banned material?
Piracy is an issue for me, I always used to buy DVDs, video games and CDs for my Chinese friends as I know they like it but don't own it. Only to find they have an illegal pirate one. Literally I had no idea what else to buy people so I just carried on.
Your videos are excellent. I'm an software developer at an American company that makes computerized microchip testers. A lot of our sales are in China. People who buy our testers can also buy the right to download improved versions of software. One issue is people buying 10 testers and the right to update the software on 1 - and copying the download to the other 9. Do you know if that would be considered OK in China? Thanks.
Nowadays a lot of young Chinese are a huge fan of British TV series and American series, for one reason it's a good way for relaxation, the second, they can learn English. Piracy is indeed rampant especially in entertainment domains like movie music or games, but some Chinese fans also purchased some legitimate products through online shopping like in Taobao[the Chinese eBay],and they are highly supportive of legal downloads, it's just that problem in china are really complicated.
how do i access that website when i live in usa ? D: that site / system or program whatever looks interesting as another way to watch TV shows and movies for free
there are some reality shows still left on Tudou or Youku but if u search popular american TV shows like arrow, gossip girl, big bang theory,criminal minds etc, they don't exist anymore. and Tudou and Youku all are forced to buy the copyright to broadcast them. So u can see the piracy has gone to an official level
I live in Canada,But I see movies, TV shows and listen to all kinds of music for free too. Using super advanced Chinese piracy softwares. I also finished Mass Effect3 recently too. Downloaded from a Chinese website. That's kinda of an advantage if you know a little bit Chinese language.
My computer can connect and watch youtube if I use a tool. As for some big video websites, like Tudou, Youku, Souhu and etc, they bought the copyrights of the Tv serives and films in their websites. They get profit by advertisement. But there are some small websites which have pirate TV serives and films.
For those who get notice "Sorry, for copyright reason" information, you could rather download PPStream instead of accessing video websites such as tudou, youku stuff. I just help one of my friends in CA to watch films. It is not limited by IP.
The funny thing about this topic is that i recently visited a chinese friend, and as we were about to watch a movie via an online service from china (much like ppstream, but it was some other site), we actually couldn't! Pretty much all western movies were blocked unless we used a proxy to get a chinese IP. Which is quite funny imo, haha.
What is the difference between PPS and the P2P software you were using in the video? It looks like the one you demonstrated seems to be more 'English' friendly in terms of the UI and the software itself whereas PPS is strictly Chinese - so if you don't know Chinese, it will be difficult for you to use or navigate around the software.
Yeah and funshion is actually mainstream nowadays, ever since they have gone "legit", major musicians and artistes have turned this to their advantages, and regularly promote their materials on Funshion. In China, artistes dont earn through selling CDs/DVDs, they earn through endorsements.
FYI most of the websites serpentza mentioned in his video, such as youku.com and fengxing still work in the US. This is basically how I watch TV episodes and movies. When I first came here, I was warned that I could be in big trouble if I continue to download illegally. But hey, nothing really happened.
Serpentza: I have to ask you a question. Your internet can connect to the web-site youtube? Do you know what? Last year February, I went to Zhongshan, over-there, I can not connect to CZcams. Someone told me cause their government block this website. I know it was sound crazy.
I think you can. you can download the movies here in China,it's just a little difficult to find the right website or whatever to do so.You better ask some Chinese movies fans where to download those 1080Ps and get a Mobile Hard disk or something then go back with them.
while the Chinese government do care about the copyright at the moment, the states news said that every download music in the future will be charged like what western do.
That is so called ”gun movie“.Some take a cam into the cinema to record movies.Because DVD have not saled in shop at that time.But once the dvd comes,you will find it on Internet soon,
Actually, you can find a fair amount of pirated material here in the West. In the U.S., anyone who has owned a couple of MP3 players, whether they be on a cellular device or not, rarely pays for music anymore. It's not to the scope of Chinese piracy, but then again, we don't have 1.4 billion people. The only reason I would buy something off of iTunes is because I find that with many songs, iTunes is without static or just has a particular artist that I can't find someplace else.
Hi Serpentza, May be you can also make a video on the replica rolex watches in Shenzhen or Guangzhou, China. I understand these items are very popular in China. They are very high standard of replicating the watch. From other videos in CZcams.Com i saw, there are replica rolex watches movement has reached the high standard of calibre 3135 movement, just like the swiss eta movement. If possible, make some videos about them to show us. Thank you. You are awesome.
What I really don't understand is how this kind of piracy is so open an available in China. I mean, this can't be legal, right? It seems so accessible and uncomplicated to reach for, and so many people are doing it. Does the government simply not care or what? Can someone please explain this to me? I find it very intriguing.
You can use Thunder download hot torrents which is slow on emule, but full speed of internet supply on thunder vip service which costs 1￡ for one month.
In china town in my city their is a guy who sells movies that are not even in theaters yet, He even has the dvd case and the crazy part is when the movie comes out on dvd the case he had was the same! So he must have a hook up in china who gets the video files and image files, Considering Dvds are mas produced in china this is highly likely.
+Luis I know this what I am saying is this guy in china town could them before you even could get on Torrent websites, a few years ago he has the movie zero dark thirty and he had the dvd case for it before it was in theatres and yes I did look for it on all the major torrent sites and could not find it, Chances are he has connections with those who produce the dvds in china.
You are right. China still has massive problems that are caused by government interventionism. Yet its still impressive how quickly they managed to develope themselves after Dean Xiaoping's reforms. Too bad that they seem to be turning back to socialsim once again right now :(.
Many leading websites like Xinlang or Sohu, they do buy copyrights. They create portfolios containing TV shows and movies and present to people for free. They can’t damage their reputation as they are listed companies in the US stock market. For websites like Fengxing, they don't have the copyrights. videos are from individual users, fan groups or data providers.Only domestic movies and Tv series copyright were purchased. For Baidu, several copyright lawsuits and lost millions? they don't care!
i come from Nanjing and i have to say it is no doubt that copyright infringement is a serious issue of china but as u can see china is a developing country and we have a lot of things to improve like copyright,environment,education and economy.i believe that will disappear when china get more developed in the future!!!!!!!!
Actually, the big sites like funshion have already turned "legit". Their influences are so great that they NOW cooperate with the big companies, you heard me. Newly screened movies are no longer being shown, the only movies that go on these sites are older movies, or movies that have been approved by the companies that made them.
Besides the obvious moral issue, if you're using cracked games or fakes (or pirated movies), the creators are getting nothing, which could cause the company to fold as a result, and new games like those you love are no longer made. I like a bargain, too, but I prefer to get the real thing when it's on sale. In some rare cases, like Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Wolfenstein, or Dragon Age, I like to get them when they're very new if I can so that I pay the release price and support the company because I want them to stay in business and produce those types of games indefinitely.
And about TV series and Movies,well part of what video said is right.However,Youku.com which is the most popular video website in China,have bought the copyright of the episode or movie.So,whatever you watch in Youku.com,it is legal.
its not legal for sure,but its just not one of the top tasks that Chinese government worried about.One thing you guys should know is that video games and video console are banned in China(Online games and PC games are fine).Yes,it means literally you cannot sell them in China.But things are always complicated in China,even they are forbidden,you can still find a game store where sells PS3,X360 and some video games(not pirate one).
there is nothing you can do about that, the sources of the foreign movies on Funshion are from their country of production, if you can't download them in good quality yet in the States, Funshion won't have a good copy for it either.
As long as you know Chinese, you can download whatever you want online for free. No matter if it is movie, video games or music. You can download 1080P movies in your home in America free of charge if you know how.
well, this is very interesting topic in China, although there is basically no practical copy rights in China, all movies from BBC, Hollywood to a numerious Chinese local firms, made a great fortune out of the market, American movies always try to add Chinese features to their products, in order to attract Chinese audiance! This means, the market some how has worked out a balance!
As a Chinese guy, I find it's quite interesting that my Canadian land lord watching movie online for free, and the website is NOT from China. Also, talking about games, I think most local people here download them online. It's like, pirate is a universal thing now.
NOT FOR FOREIGN MOVIES, no production company in Hollywood would accept a deal like that with these websites! What he didn't mention when he was streaming Harry Potter is that the movies is downloaded into a folder on your computer as well, you get to keep the movie! Also, if they have earned the right to distribute, why the crappy quality on a lot of them? Well, Funshion itself is a pirate group! Are you aware of what happened to these websites when the 2008 Beijing Olympics was approaching?
Thunder VIP can make you downloadthese things much more fast, because thunder software save a huge database of every type of eletrical things. Especially outside of china. My ISP is 10M/bps, and thunder gives me 1M/S of download speed.
In fact，there are more softwares providing movies and music for free.just like “kuai bo” =快播 （you can see thousands of movies for free ，even AV from Japan or Western countries）music just like kugou= 酷狗 all these are free so we are more free than others .
Your vid's rock. Here in the U.S. we don't have much, if any freedom left. I don't advocate what the above title of your video is. But, when the major company are on a constant endevor ram their collective sticky fingers into everyones wallet's. Your are going the have this type of thing going on. When I wanted to play L4D and L4D 2 I could not shell out the $50-$60USD for each game. To many working here on min wages as low as $5.25USD per hr minuse taxes,etc... Not possible.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I find it hard to believe that the websites pay the fees to stream all those tv shows and movies. But it's ok, we have similar websites, and do the same too. I even know of people who stream and maybe download Chinese stuff.
Man, these old videos give me nostalgia. I remember as a teenager playing computer games and always having your videos playing in the background. Still watching your videos to this day!
this is some widescreen lol bro

Urrgg the squished video is driving me nuts
In fact most of the websites buy the movie and drama themseves and they do have the copyright, like youku, tudou and aiqiyi. Then they let mainland users see them free online and gain advertisement money (that's why chinese website usually have a 3min or more longer ad as you can see in the video).

Cardi Jey Youku and tudou is the same company. Every uploaded video has to be checked before public release. It seems youtube doesn't check any newly uploaded video? I see many pirate chinese movie here.
Why are all of these videos stretched so wide
they were pirated.
Thats how chinesse people see it
CZcams is having some resolutionary ideas.
looks like it's good now
this video has been stuck in my watch later playlist for no less than 6 years, finally doing it!
Love all of your videos. :) Please keep them up!
Agreed, I'll make a video about the rest of that stuff in the near future
Thanks for clearing it up for me. I knew that consoles were banned, but I had no idea that you can STILL get them in stores. It's very wierd and fascinating, for sure
Hello, it looks like your videos are stretched wide. What's going on with the resolution?
i'm chinese and i think your video is a good resourse to learning english, and i also think that your view is quite objective, thanx
how to find or what is the name of the last software you showed at the video?
Copyright is really an interesting topic as I recalled in chinese history and culture, all these culture, art stuff are for free, people donate money instead of paying it to the creaters of the work, this phenomenon has lasted since very early dynasty in China. I wasn't aware about this until I arrived at UK 2 years ago as I found out I have to pay 300 times as it was in China about games and movies, etc.
rofl people asking how to VPN INTO CHINA....just...what lol
We've been using Funshion for years here in the States. It's pretty sweet, but one of the things that irritates me about it is that sometimes the movie we want to watch is available only in a cam version.
Hi Winston keep your mind in pure light. Not Harry Potter or anything that goes to other side. God Bless be pure hugs
What about setting up a VPN or something like that? Should I just get some random VPS in the states, or do you have any suggestions? I don't want to do anything bad, just get on youtube and facebook (I hear it's banned).
Nevermind, just found your video about this exact topic!
just wondering, are the movies and tv shows you can download censored like they are at the movies?
the movie and tv series are not pirate, the website will pay the copyright fee.。music are pirate。 One web（快播） site was fined 260 000 000 rmb for the pirate this year .
True, most movies and dramas on Tudou, Youku, Sohu and Fengxing, etc are legitimate, they are free but legitimate.

In fact, piracy is also illegal according to chinese law. it's popular because it's rarely to be punished
Does mp3bear work over there? That's the equivalent of that baidu site, just with more flash player add ons.
Hello,
Can you write the name of the second online database for movies. fuijin something...
Thank you for all your educational videos,
Joshua
Actually,now it is more popular to watch movies at cinemas, especially the movies that are newly released.
Yes,it is free for the audiences,it isn`t free for the websites.The websites (like Youku,Tudou) need to spend lots of money on the copyright of TV plays (such as TBBT,Sherlock). Then they earn money from the ads.
That's why it is free for us.
To be honest, this kind of websites don`t earn a lot money,some of the websites are actually under deficit.
u have a great channel here bro. keep em commimg
do you import game if they are banned? for instance can you still have Sleeping Dogs, that is banned in main land china and how do they go on about looking for this banned material?
can you explain how video games work in china? i thought game consoles were banned in china, do you have to get them in hong kong or something?
when i try to stream tudou in America it takes like 4x the length of the video to buffer.
Piracy is an issue for me, I always used to buy DVDs, video games and CDs for my Chinese friends as I know they like it but don't own it. Only to find they have an illegal pirate one.
Literally I had no idea what else to buy people so I just carried on.
How is the situation with google or internet in general, what are the restrictions?
Thank you 謝謝
Joshua
Your videos are excellent.
I'm an software developer at an American company that makes computerized microchip testers. A lot of our sales are in China. People who buy our testers can also buy the right to download improved versions of software. One issue is people buying 10 testers and the right to update the software on 1 - and copying the download to the other 9. Do you know if that would be considered OK in China? Thanks.

well, oversea link to this kind of Chinese program or website are usually suspended. You can only use it when you are in mainland China
how do i access that website when i live in usa ? D: that site / system or program whatever looks interesting as another way to watch TV shows and movies for free
use the vpn which makes ur ip in China~
VPN may not necessary. Try "Unblock Youku"
there are some reality shows still left on Tudou or Youku but if u search popular american TV shows like arrow, gossip girl, big bang theory,criminal minds etc, they don't exist anymore. and Tudou and Youku all are forced to buy the copyright to broadcast them. So u can see the piracy has gone to an official level
Thanks, I was looking for some Chinese streaming/download sites. It's like you said, external sites are slow in China.
I'm looking for Chinese movies, shows, dramas with English subtitles websites.
Thank you for your reply,
Joshua
i don't know about other medias, but artists now have to earn money through tours and sponsorships
I live in Canada,But I see movies, TV shows and listen to all kinds of music for free too. Using super advanced Chinese piracy softwares. I also finished Mass Effect3 recently too. Downloaded from a Chinese website. That's kinda of an advantage if you know a little bit Chinese language.
yes, if u want to watch a BD version, u need to wait for a couple of weeks after the new movie comes out.
My computer can connect and watch youtube if I use a tool.
As for some big video websites, like Tudou, Youku, Souhu and etc, they bought the copyrights of the Tv serives and films in their websites. They get profit by advertisement. But there are some small websites which have pirate TV serives and films.
thanks for sharing
@serpentza could you possible send me a link to the program at 7:30? :)
how do you upload videos to youtube from china? isnt it blocked? also how do you use facebook in china? i really want to know.
For those who get notice "Sorry, for copyright reason" information, you could rather download PPStream instead of accessing video websites such as tudou, youku stuff. I just help one of my friends in CA to watch films. It is not limited by IP.
The funny thing about this topic is that i recently visited a chinese friend, and as we were about to watch a movie via an online service from china (much like ppstream, but it was some other site), we actually couldn't!
Pretty much all western movies were blocked unless we used a proxy to get a chinese IP.
Which is quite funny imo, haha.
谢谢
would it make everyone feel better if I changed my channel's privacy settings?
What is the difference between PPS and the P2P software you were using in the video?

How much do games cost in China (PSP Vita, 360, etc)? I remember you went to a shop once (Crack PSP) and I was wondering how cheap the games are.
The websites already paid for all the episodes, and most movies an TV shows can only be seen in mainland.
hey mate, if you use adblock plus you can normally avoid the adverts :) out of interest did you learn mandarin whilst living over there?
FYI most of the websites serpentza mentioned in his video, such as youku.com and fengxing still work in the US. This is basically how I watch TV episodes and movies. When I first came here, I was warned that I could be in big trouble if I continue to download illegally. But hey, nothing really happened.
Serpentza: I have to ask you a question. Your internet can connect to the web-site youtube? Do you know what? Last year February, I went to Zhongshan, over-there, I can not connect to CZcams. Someone told me cause their government block this website. I know it was sound crazy.
hey, been watchin ur vids thumbs up :), can u do a tour of your house that would be quite interestng.
Thanks for telling me about tudou. I can go on there and watch better shows, from the states. Helps me in learning Chinese.
Hi Wilson,
As a foreigner in China, can I download the movies while I visit China and then go back to State with them?
+Karen Yu xunlei is also can use in outside of china,not only inside china, its sure,and now iam use it in singapore.
I think you can. you can download the movies here in China,it's just a little difficult to find the right website or whatever to do so.You better ask some Chinese movies fans where to download those 1080Ps and get a Mobile Hard disk or something then go back with them.
bandofbrothers19 I think so. But most download websites are in Chinese. So you better find a Chinese to help you.
do you get windows updates with a bootleg copy of windows?
while the Chinese government do care about the copyright at the moment, the states news said that every download music in the future will be charged like what western do.
That is so called ”gun movie“.Some take a cam into the cinema to record movies.Because DVD have not saled in shop at that time.But once the dvd comes,you will find it on Internet soon,
Nice and interesting. Also note that we can also find Chinese movie for free on CZcams.
Actually, you can find a fair amount of pirated material here in the West. In the U.S., anyone who has owned a couple of MP3 players, whether they be on a cellular device or not, rarely pays for music anymore.
It's not to the scope of Chinese piracy, but then again, we don't have 1.4 billion people. The only reason I would buy something off of iTunes is because I find that with many songs, iTunes is without static or just has a particular artist that I can't find someplace else.
the video website like Toudu Youku they already have bought the copyright for the TV series and Films
Hi Serpentza, May be you can also make a video on the replica rolex watches in Shenzhen or Guangzhou, China. I understand these items are very popular in China. They are very high standard of replicating the watch. From other videos in CZcams.Com i saw, there are replica rolex watches movement has reached the high standard of calibre 3135 movement, just like the swiss eta movement.

I wish they had something like that with HD in Europe.
Most of the content on sites like btvguide are so bad you can count the pixels.
What I really don't understand is how this kind of piracy is so open an available in China. I mean, this can't be legal, right? It seems so accessible and uncomplicated to reach for, and so many people are doing it. Does the government simply not care or what? Can someone please explain this to me? I find it very intriguing.
You can use Thunder download hot torrents which is slow on emule, but full speed of internet supply on thunder vip service which costs 1￡ for one month.
i can just say its better now ,i even see piracy advertisement on tv ,that means the gov wants to change something...slowly
So how can I access Facebook/CZcams without buying a VPN?
In china town in my city their is a guy who sells movies that are not even in theaters yet, He even has the dvd case and the crazy part is when the movie comes out on dvd the case he had was the same! So he must have a hook up in china who gets the video files and image files, Considering Dvds are mas produced in china this is highly likely.
You can download torrents of movies not released yet on certain websites online.
+Luis this guy can get movies that are not yet available on utorrent
+Planet Review You can get unreleased movies on torrents too. People get the movie, stream it across a lot of sites/add on torrent sites.
+Planet Review Not available for release he meant. He wasn't talking about torrents.
+Luis I know this what I am saying is this guy in china town could them before you even could get on Torrent websites, a few years ago he has the movie zero dark thirty and he had the dvd case for it before it was in theatres and yes I did look for it on all the major torrent sites and could not find it, Chances are he has connections with those who produce the dvds in china.
So how do all these Chinese movie and tv show production companies make any profit in China if everyone just pirates?
+SchneiderMan they only pirate foreign media, local stuff his strictly protected
How convenient for them
if you use a tool? What tool you use? Is it a proxy?
You are right.
China still has massive problems that are caused by government interventionism. Yet its still impressive how quickly they managed to develope themselves after Dean Xiaoping's reforms.
Too bad that they seem to be turning back to socialsim once again right now :(.
Many leading websites like Xinlang or Sohu, they do buy copyrights. They create portfolios containing TV shows and movies and present to people for free. They can’t damage their reputation as they are listed companies in the US stock market.
For websites like Fengxing, they don't have the copyrights. videos are from individual users, fan groups or data providers.Only domestic movies and Tv series copyright were purchased. For Baidu, several copyright lawsuits and lost millions? they don't care!
i come from Nanjing and i have to say it is no doubt that copyright infringement is a serious issue of china but as u can see china is a developing country and we have a lot of things to improve like copyright,environment,education and economy.i believe that will disappear when china get more developed in the future!!!!!!!!
Actually, the big sites like funshion have already turned "legit". Their influences are so great that they NOW cooperate with the big companies, you heard me. Newly screened movies are no longer being shown, the only movies that go on these sites are older movies, or movies that have been approved by the companies that made them.
Besides the obvious moral issue, if you're using cracked games or fakes (or pirated movies), the creators are getting nothing, which could cause the company to fold as a result, and new games like those you love are no longer made. I like a bargain, too, but I prefer to get the real thing when it's on sale. In some rare cases, like Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Wolfenstein, or Dragon Age, I like to get them when they're very new if I can so that I pay the release price and support the company because I want them to stay in business and produce those types of games indefinitely.
And about TV series and Movies,well part of what video said is right.However,Youku.com which is the most popular video website in China,have bought the copyright of the episode or movie.So,whatever you watch in Youku.com,it is legal.
its not legal for sure,but its just not one of the top tasks that Chinese government worried about.One thing you guys should know is that video games and video console are banned in China(Online games and PC games are fine).Yes,it means literally you cannot sell them in China.But things are always complicated in China,even they are forbidden,you can still find a game store where sells PS3,X360 and some video games(not pirate one).
there is nothing you can do about that, the sources of the foreign movies on Funshion are from their country of production, if you can't download them in good quality yet in the States, Funshion won't have a good copy for it either.
I like your N7 jacket, did you hate the ending as much as everyone else?
As long as you know Chinese, you can download whatever you want online for free. No matter if it is movie, video games or music.
You can download 1080P movies in your home in America free of charge if you know how.
well, this is very interesting topic in China, although there is basically no practical copy rights in China, all movies from BBC, Hollywood to a numerious Chinese local firms, made a great fortune out of the market, American movies always try to add Chinese features to their products, in order to attract Chinese audiance! This means, the market some how has worked out a balance!
As a Chinese guy, I find it's quite interesting that my Canadian land lord watching movie online for free, and the website is NOT from China. Also, talking about games, I think most local people here download them online. It's like, pirate is a universal thing now.
it is really blocked for most people who knows little knowledge about network agent
you need to do a video of the Beijing silk market!!!!
Well, pretty good video. Thank you
serpentza! TIPs:more than half of the videos on tudou do have copy right, but only in main land china.
NOT FOR FOREIGN MOVIES, no production company in Hollywood would accept a deal like that with these websites! What he didn't mention when he was streaming Harry Potter is that the movies is downloaded into a folder on your computer as well, you get to keep the movie! Also, if they have earned the right to distribute, why the crappy quality on a lot of them? Well, Funshion itself is a pirate group! Are you aware of what happened to these websites when the 2008 Beijing Olympics was approaching?
As the years go by we'll probably see something similar happen with google.
Thunder VIP can make you downloadthese things much more fast, because thunder software save a huge database of every type of eletrical things. Especially outside of china. My ISP is 10M/bps, and thunder gives me 1M/S of download speed.
u playing mass effect 3 have encouraged me to complete max payne 3...damn i just got too lazy that i couldnt be bothered completed the game lol
In fact，there are more softwares providing movies and music for free.just like “kuai bo” =快播 （you can see thousands of movies for free ，even AV from Japan or Western countries）music just like kugou= 酷狗 all these are free so we are more free than others .
Oh i think it actually was tudou! All the chinese movies and shows worked, but the western ones were only accessible from chinese IP xD xD
Your vid's rock. Here in the U.S. we don't have much, if any freedom left. I don't advocate what the above title of your video is. But, when the major company are on a constant endevor ram their collective sticky fingers into everyones wallet's. Your are going the have this type of thing going on. When I wanted to play L4D and L4D 2 I could not shell out the $50-$60USD for each game. To many working here on min wages as low as $5.25USD per hr minuse taxes,etc... Not possible.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I find it hard to believe that the websites pay the fees to stream all those tv shows and movies. But it's ok, we have similar websites, and do the same too. I even know of people who stream and maybe download Chinese stuff.
Is torrents available in china?
