Who would like to live there?
I mean, your job sucks hell because you are a tiny man in the fabric and you earn the same money in a month that we earn in a day…

the papers need to ask permittion to put something in the news

and now they are blocking the whole internet shizzle

When will those poor chineese people fight for their rights…

when Mininova and Piratebay were closed one after the other, I was thinking: maybe it’s not so bad living in Chinese, as long as you know a little about proxy, you still got youtube.com and other things, plus awesome lawfree P2P like emule and bt, now… it seems the good day come to the end finally. f*** off Ch*n*se government

License? lmao. The chinese government needs to stop being a douche

That’s why personal VPN business is HOT here in China

1- Youtubes
2- Yahoo blog
3- Facebook
4- Twitter
5-Small blogs
6- Pirate Bay
7- and so many others

There is a big firewall here and the only way to have some freedom is to have Ultrasurf however for latest updates normally you cannot do because the firewall already found the hole and block it… Yea, living in China with this terrible censorship really sucks

It is very sad and very true. I think this is a combination of “I don’t want to appear to be tech-stupid”, “Everyone has to pay for everything”, and “If it doesn’t effect me I don’t care” thought processes.

I think the funniest example of saying over-dipping was justified was about a year ago. One person said to me “You don’t pay for the movie in the theatre, you pay for the theatre experience. Just like DVD’s are better you have to pay for the better experience”

While I was pondering a reply to this, I remembered my last theatre experience, the volume cranked up to try, but failed, to silence the cries of the very pissed off baby in the 12th row, the every 5 minute Ha-Ha-Hyena laugh of the guy 3 seats to the right of me, and the red lipstick smeared in the center of the screen. Was this the experience I am suppose to pay for?

Being one of the more ‘reasoned’ arguments for dipping, but still is filled with more holes than the roads I drive on. My comment was basically life is better when driving a BMW vs a Yugo (If anyone remembers that POS car) but that experience is not free or cheap to create, with digital the costs to produce the DVD / BD / Digital Files are next to nothing as movies are already done digitally. Most movies have to be converted from Digital to film for the theaters, so the costs are higher. In addition the BMW’s of the world contribute significant improvements to cheaper cars once those designs or items are incorporated thus moving innovation forward. I see no such innovation coming from ‘The Wood’. Of course to this person I didn’t know what I was talking about! right…

But as you have said no one will listen, only more attempts to justify the status quo.

The horrible part of it is they don’t realize how far reaching the copyright laws that ACTA will bring are. When they all of a sudden get wiped from the net or getting their family photos taken down because no royalty payment was paid to the owner of the building, the designer of the building, the company that genetically designed the trees, or the owner of the 20% of that sign they caught all in the background. On top of that getting a bill from all the above for each use in the photos. I’m sure there are other good examples we can come up with. They will be outraged but hey it’s too late now!

When thinking about this reply a quote from Mike over at TechDirt came into mind.

“While there was some disagreement on the panel from someone about how record stores were profitable in the 70s, that’s a case where the music was making the vinyl (and later, plastic) more valuable. Today, it makes iPods more valuable. As the big box retailers know, it acts as a loss leader to bring people in to buy higher margin goods. Music is great at selling other, higher margin things. If you ignore that in the music business model, you’re missing the big opportunity.”

Those poor people have no personal rights at all (including that horrible “1 child only” law) their government makes all their decisions for them…..sad.

I seriously have nothing against the Chinese people but against their government and the hypocrisy all around the world. The world is bending over and [censored thought] for some imbeciles that use children and underpaid work force.

I`m having a heck of a hard time to find stuff that`s not made in China. What the heck is wrong with the human being?????

On side note, they always have torrnts outside China, VPNS and DHT/PEX. File sharing is an hydra man, they cut one head 100 re born on the spot…. And what`s better, the hydra is not the bad guy and common folk like us are cheering on the future of that hydra!

Long post wasn`t it?

it’s simply retarded, but it’s not their criteria :D

however, i see no problem with banning videos on which they show how to cut off an alive people’s head, that’s really sick.

Supposedly CNXP moved their servers overseas now, so they might be one of the sites that are still up after this. bbs.cnxp.com Other than that, we’ll have to wait till after 12/11 to see how many sites are left.

The most frequent comment I get is that by downloading you are ripping the “creators” of their money. That you should pay for everything you get.

While this does not stand up to critical thinking, most people would not even listen and say – no matter what arguments you bring up, someone created this movie/music/game and you are taking it for free. No, you have to pay.

The funny thing is that they themselves do usually use torrents but find excuses for themselves, like – I have no shops in my country to buy this for a proper price.

Pfff…

Your a turd a stinky fffat turd. Go sniff a jockstrap you poophead. You love patting boys butts. You love patting boys butts, butt, butt patter. Your a perv and a loser and a stinkyy turd.

Im not a big fan of their censhorship efforts, but china is a big source of piracy (in all it’s forms) so I think it’s good that they finally did what should have been done along time ago..

–

You would be surprised if I told you China is relatively small on the scale of content (NON PHYSICAL) piracy.. It’s like when you said Canada is the top source of pirated movies which was completly fasle and disproved the next day..

I don’t see too many major sites going down. TorrentSpy was the only major one I have seen get wiped out. Mininova just complied with the court order. But the admins, for quite some time. have been not as interested in it.

Smaller local public/private sites have been taken down for certain and by no means is it the end.

A good strategy would be for as many BT indexers as possible to share data back and forth. ISO Hunt currently indexes a lot of other torrents sites, what I am talking about. If one site goes down all the torrents will still be indexed throughout the rest.

If you had a type of RSS Searching like ‘HD>720p>TV Shows> Heroes > Season 4>Episode 5′, Using a browser to get the torrent or magnet would not be needed. A simple RSS search could be added to the BT client.

With everyone cross indexing the available torrents it would mean it would not matter what indexer you used.

This would make it harder for the companies like BayTSP etc to be able to track down seeders to go after. This is only, of course, part of the larger improvements needed to create the desired distance. But it would be a good first step.

…

“I know a lot of people who strongly believe that torrents are a negative thing, no matter what the counter arguments are.”

As do I. The people I talk to fall into 2 catagories. 1) They think BT is Illegal and they are not suppose to use it or 2) They don’t think BT is Illegal, but they think you should pay for it no matter what it is, nor how many times you must pay for the same thing, and for any price someone sets for it. The only exception to the “I must do what they say” is with Music. However the more I point them to articles like the one below (or the more they read these stories, the correct articles not the ones that use headlines like “Woman arrested for trying to cam a movie”) the more people begin to wake up and see the light.

“Woman Filming Parts Of Sister’s Birthday Party At Theater, Charged With Felony Movie Copying”

The stupidity and complacency of the average American moron sheep is the problem.

The list of things they will do is endless and it is the primary reason why the government and the corporations can basically do what they want to do. The “If it don’t affect me why should I care” mentality runs rampant in this country as I am sure it does globally, but probably not to this extent.

Many people here also have complacency issues. Sorry you cannot play this music on this device or oops buy a new TV, the one you have uses HDCP that is too old. They get mad but think “I cannot do anything” and move on. That’s the worst of the bunch. If you don’t do anything you are as guilty as those who created the problem. Why? Because you allow the problem to continue! This is why boycotts, protests and other actions get no traction in this country.

I only hope more people will get out of this globally and start taking action.

Just a comment…

First, the Chinese gov’t hates anything that it can’t control, especially the media. P2P have been used to move videos and documents about human rights violations to the rest of the world. Of course they have long history with making knockoffs.

Second, China has become a favourite place for the corporate powers-that-be to move its operations. Cheap labour with out any worries of employment benefits, health, and safety to be paid. Also they don’t even have to care about the environmental damage they do. So it does China gov’t well to show a little good will to its corporate friends by shutting down torrent sites in the country.

Fuk off and leave the internet the way it is.

I mean, in all countries same thing – they go to court, we all gloat how absurd the laws are but then they close the sites anyway. I mean – we can say there alternatives to those sites, but to be real – those alternatives usually lack content. And how can a site be an alternative when you cannot find things on it? When it will become relevant – it’ll get shut down again.

Not to be pessimistic, but all of this does not look good and the amount of people who seriously believe that copying is stealing and that torrents should be shut down is enormous. I know a lot of people who strongly believe that torrents are a negative thing, no matter what the counter arguments are.

So I am wondering whether the amount of attacks that file sharing world has received is not too much.

Right on you beady eyed b@stards, now if you could just cut back on the dog eating, you could be almost decent people again, almost…
