China is still a notorious market for movie and TV show piracy, report says
China has made an appearance on an industry list of international markets targeted by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) for distributing pirated movies and television shows. The list, submitted to an intellectual property US trade representative, highlights a selection of notorious websites, internet newsgroups, peer-to-peer online networks and physical locations renowned for sharing illegal content. Various countries, including Russia, Brazil, Canada, Thailand and Indonesia are all accounted for, but China is specifically highlighted five times. Amongst the culprits identified by the report are Xunlei.com (now known as Kankan.com) and Kuaibo.com, both sites that offer downloadable applications which allow for the distribution of copyrighted movies. Of the two sites, Kuaibo.com is identified as by the report as “a primary threat to the stability of legitimate [Chinese] digital distribution,” citing allegations from “rights holders and licensees in China.”
