Say what you will about how the choice of cartoons reeks in the West… but at least you don't have to endure THIS…

Not while I'm over HERE, ya nit!

Send 'em some DVDs instead, for Sun-Yat-Sen's sake!

It’ll be interesting to see if a protectionism policy will work for Chinese studios over the long term with something like this. It’s pretty easy to pirate materials and circumvent restrictions when dealing with ones and zeros.

As a matter of fact, pirated stuff accounts for 96% of the software and DVDs and CDs in this country. 

It's been done before largely because a pirated disk sells for much less than a legit one, but this protectionism won't help it go away at all.

It also accounts for why don't watch much movies or listen to much music here… I don't want to add to the problem.  And since there's only two channels in English where I am, and a good chunk of what I want to watch is censored out or overrun by local infomercials, it's no wonder I spend so much time on the web. 🙁
