Dilemma

"四月九日,美国政府向WTO提出两项针对中国的贸易诉讼,指责中国打击盗版不力和限制美国电影、音乐和图书产品进入本国市场。

二十四日,中国国务院副总理吴仪在此间二00七年中国保护知识产权高层论坛上谈及美国向WTO起诉中国知识产权问题和出版物市场准入问题时表示,“中国政府对此表示强烈不满,但是我们决定按照WTO相关规则积极应诉,我们将奉陪到底”。"

This is from an online news.

But, still so many pirated DVD on every corner of the streets one?

But, I don't mind buying cheap, good quality pirated DVD wor, looking at the sky-rocket movie tickets here at cinema. Normal cinema ticket is 120 yuan, if special seats, 240 yuan, all these prices are per person. Compare to cheap, good quality pirated DVD which is only 5 yuan, not surprised there is still so much Demand to encourage the big Supply right?

Having said that, last few days, read newspaper, one of the great movie director in China was complaining to the media, his pay from this industry, is worse than 3 star movie-star. So sad. He is considered 5 star director ok... I pity him also.

So, 5 yuan good quality pirated DVD, buy or not buy??

I think their cinema tickets are hillariously expensive.

And the DVD series I watch are compressed type. RMB 10 I can watch a 20-30 drama series.

Those in the entertainment field shouldnt scalp money out from us customers like that!!!

one thing that the cheap pirated good quality dvd does not have is -- the translation (subtitle) really sucks big time. Sometimes, reading those lousyly translated subtitle made me laugh out loud, even though I watching sad romantic love story :|
