That's complete nonsense. Have you even been to China? I'm there right now, in Yunnan province, which is a rural area, not at all like the major cities like Beijing, Shanghai or Shenzhen. Plenty of televisions and DVD players here (and satellite dishes on many of the farm houses).

and paying $1 instead of $6 to watch a DVD one or 2 times is a lot of money to save for most Chinese,
No, it is not.

you are not going to stop copy DVds by price alone , it needs to be a society thing where you are considered "bad" if you buy a bootleg item ,
I'm not going to turn this into a thread about copyright protection in China. Do an FT search on my screen name -- this topic has been exhausted.

I doubt thats going to happen soon in most poor asian countries,
China isn't a poor country.
