The MPA has decided to take legal action in China against the P2P software company based in Shenzhen Xunlei. For the ones who like to watch the latest US movies, they often turn to Xunlei. No need now to buy DVD around the corner in the streets of Beijing or Shanghai for 5 Yuan or .50 Euros you can downlaod them for free through the P2P service.
However, I think the MPA has a tough fight in sight. The problem is not necessarily what will the Chinese court will decide; Chinese judges have greatly improved in the past years or the Chinese laws & regulations do not provide enough assistance in those matters.
The problem is Xunlei shall not be the target; it offers the P2P software but you cannot find the movies on their website; you shall go to gougou.com or 56.com. You don't even have to download them you can watch them livestream.
Tough, tough job to fight against piracy in China! The legal system improves everyday but the technical creativity is even faster.
