looks like it's good now

In fact most of the websites buy the movie and drama themseves and they do have the copyright, like youku, tudou and aiqiyi. Then they let mainland users see them free online and gain advertisement money (that's why chinese website usually have a 3min or more longer ad as you can see in the video). And if you don't have a chinese IP you can't see any copyright content on these websites. Because China has 6 hundred million of internet users so the websites can easily make a lot of money by advertisement if they have good quality online contents. So just remeber you can see it free online in China ≠ it's 100% piracy and copyright infringement.

Cardi Jey Youku and tudou is the same company. Every uploaded video has to be checked before public release. It seems youtube doesn't check any newly uploaded video? I see many pirate chinese movie here.

Me, as a Chinese who have lived in China for 22 years. I admit, we really do not give a sxxt about copyright, even our government. So, basically, all Chinese are using or used piracy. In the past, we used piracy because we do not know it is bad, we do not even know it is piracy. But recently years, more and more young Chinese people know using piracy is illegal, is a bad thing, but most of them still download things, play piracy games. The main reason is our government choose to ignore. Even some of Chinese feel guilty to use piracy, they still use it because it is free and they know nobody gonna arrest them. So it does not change the result even most of Chinese realize this issue(a few Chinese try to abandon piracy totally nowadays, but it is very hard to do it in China).Futhermore, lots of people still do not know they are using piracy. For example, in the past, downloading music is free. And　nowadays, downloading music from music player app of China is paid. So people think paid music is genuine, they are listening genuine music now. But in fact, those songs still are piracy. Those music player apps do not have the songs' copyright but they still collect money. So, those users think those songs became genuine from piracy, but in fact, they just became ‘paid piracy’. In my opinion, it seems that piracy make our life easier and more convenient. Absolutely, you can download almost anything on the Internet without payment. It help us with saving money. But on the other hand, it ruined our creation. The industry in China which was impacted by piracy is a piece of sxxt.

Urrgg the squished video is driving me nuts

this video has been stuck in my watch later playlist for no less than 6 years, finally doing it!

Man, these old videos give me nostalgia. I remember as a teenager playing computer games and always having your videos playing in the background. Still watching your videos to this day!

Hello, it looks like your videos are stretched wide. What's going on with the resolution?

Love all of your videos. :) Please keep them up!

Thanks for clearing it up for me. I knew that consoles were banned, but I had no idea that you can STILL get them in stores. It's very wierd and fascinating, for sure

Agreed, I'll make a video about the rest of that stuff in the near future

i'm chinese and i think your video is a good resourse to learning english, and i also think that your view is quite objective, thanx

What about setting up a VPN or something like that? Should I just get some random VPS in the states, or do you have any suggestions? I don't want to do anything bad, just get on youtube and facebook (I hear it's banned).

Your videos are excellent. I'm an software developer at an American company that makes computerized microchip testers. A lot of our sales are in China. People who buy our testers can also buy the right to download improved versions of software. One issue is people buying 10 testers and the right to update the software on 1 - and copying the download to the other 9. Do you know if that would be considered OK in China? Thanks.

just wondering, are the movies and tv shows you can download censored like they are at the movies?

how to find or what is the name of the last software you showed at the video?

Nevermind, just found your video about this exact topic!

Does mp3bear work over there? That's the equivalent of that baidu site, just with more flash player add ons.

We've been using Funshion for years here in the States. It's pretty sweet, but one of the things that irritates me about it is that sometimes the movie we want to watch is available only in a cam version.

can you explain how video games work in china? i thought game consoles were banned in china, do you have to get them in hong kong or something?

do you import game if they are banned? for instance can you still have Sleeping Dogs, that is banned in main land china and how do they go on about looking for this banned material?

How is the situation with google or internet in general, what are the restrictions?

the movie and tv series are not pirate, the website will pay the copyright fee.。music are pirate。 One web（快播） site was fined 260 000 000 rmb for the pirate this year .

True, most movies and dramas on Tudou, Youku, Sohu and Fengxing, etc are legitimate, they are free but legitimate. If you are looking for pirate things you should be using Kuaibo(快播) and other torrent sites. For example, search [movie name] + qvod, you will get to most illegal pirate sites that use Kuaibo. Search [movie name] + BT下载, you will get to most illegal torrent sites.

u have a great channel here bro. keep em commimg

rofl people asking how to VPN INTO CHINA....just...what lol

hey mate, if you use adblock plus you can normally avoid the adverts :) out of interest did you learn mandarin whilst living over there?

I like your N7 jacket, did you hate the ending as much as everyone else?

Hello, Can you write the name of the second online database for movies. fuijin something... Thank you for all your educational videos, Joshua

What is the difference between PPS and the P2P software you were using in the video? It looks like the one you demonstrated seems to be more 'English' friendly in terms of the UI and the software itself whereas PPS is strictly Chinese - so if you don't know Chinese, it will be difficult for you to use or navigate around the software.

Thanks, I was looking for some Chinese streaming/download sites. It's like you said, external sites are slow in China.

How much do games cost in China (PSP Vita, 360, etc)? I remember you went to a shop once (Crack PSP) and I was wondering how cheap the games are.

would it make everyone feel better if I changed my channel's privacy settings?

how do you upload videos to youtube from china? isnt it blocked? also how do you use facebook in china? i really want to know.

if you use a tool? What tool you use? Is it a proxy?

do you get windows updates with a bootleg copy of windows?

@serpentza could you possible send me a link to the program at 7:30? :)

Thank you 謝謝 Joshua

What website do YOU use to watch movies? "Potato"

Piracy is an issue for me, I always used to buy DVDs, video games and CDs for my Chinese friends as I know they like it but don't own it. Only to find they have an illegal pirate one. Literally I had no idea what else to buy people so I just carried on.

when i try to stream tudou in America it takes like 4x the length of the video to buffer.

Copyright is really an interesting topic as I recalled in chinese history and culture, all these culture, art stuff are for free, people donate money instead of paying it to the creaters of the work, this phenomenon has lasted since very early dynasty in China. I wasn't aware about this until I arrived at UK 2 years ago as I found out I have to pay 300 times as it was in China about games and movies, etc.

yes, if u want to watch a BD version, u need to wait for a couple of weeks after the new movie comes out.

well, oversea link to this kind of Chinese program or website are usually suspended. You can only use it when you are in mainland China

谢谢

I'm looking for Chinese movies, shows, dramas with English subtitles websites. Thank you for your reply, Joshua

Is your Xbox LIVE region set as Hong Kong English?

Serpentza: I have to ask you a question. Your internet can connect to the web-site youtube? Do you know what? Last year February, I went to Zhongshan, over-there, I can not connect to KZread. Someone told me cause their government block this website. I know it was sound crazy.

there are some reality shows still left on Tudou or Youku but if u search popular american TV shows like arrow, gossip girl, big bang theory,criminal minds etc, they don't exist anymore. and Tudou and Youku all are forced to buy the copyright to broadcast them. So u can see the piracy has gone to an official level

How does it work with other types of (digital and non-digital) media? For example, software (downloadable, CD/DVDs), books, e-books, magazines etc. - Is it pirated as well all the time?

you can find almost everything by internet. for the same reason, there's not a lot of pirated non-digital things, because nothing can be cheaper and more convenient than free downloadable things. people will only pay for the real ones when they decide to buy physical media. In fact, piracy is also illegal according to chinese law. it's popular because it's rarely to be punished

hey, been watchin ur vids thumbs up :), can u do a tour of your house that would be quite interestng.

Actually,now it is more popular to watch movies at cinemas, especially the movies that are newly released. Yes,it is free for the audiences,it isn`t free for the websites.The websites (like Youku,Tudou) need to spend lots of money on the copyright of TV plays (such as TBBT,Sherlock). Then they earn money from the ads. That's why it is free for us. To be honest, this kind of websites don`t earn a lot money,some of the websites are actually under deficit.

Hi Winston keep your mind in pure light. Not Harry Potter or anything that goes to other side. God Bless be pure hugs

serpentza! TIPs:more than half of the videos on tudou do have copy right, but only in main land china.

what is your game tag?

thanks for sharing

For those who get notice "Sorry, for copyright reason" information, you could rather download PPStream instead of accessing video websites such as tudou, youku stuff. I just help one of my friends in CA to watch films. It is not limited by IP.

I wish they had something like that with HD in Europe. Most of the content on sites like btvguide are so bad you can count the pixels.

u playing mass effect 3 have encouraged me to complete max payne 3...damn i just got too lazy that i couldnt be bothered completed the game lol

The websites already paid for all the episodes, and most movies an TV shows can only be seen in mainland.

The funny thing about this topic is that i recently visited a chinese friend, and as we were about to watch a movie via an online service from china (much like ppstream, but it was some other site), we actually couldn't! Pretty much all western movies were blocked unless we used a proxy to get a chinese IP. Which is quite funny imo, haha.

As a Chinese guy, I find it's quite interesting that my Canadian land lord watching movie online for free, and the website is NOT from China. Also, talking about games, I think most local people here download them online. It's like, pirate is a universal thing now.

Is torrents available in china?

FYI most of the websites serpentza mentioned in his video, such as youku.com and fengxing still work in the US. This is basically how I watch TV episodes and movies. When I first came here, I was warned that I could be in big trouble if I continue to download illegally. But hey, nothing really happened.

you need to do a video of the Beijing silk market!!!!

So how can I access Facebook/KZread without buying a VPN?

What I really don't understand is how this kind of piracy is so open an available in China. I mean, this can't be legal, right? It seems so accessible and uncomplicated to reach for, and so many people are doing it. Does the government simply not care or what? Can someone please explain this to me? I find it very intriguing.

i don't know about other medias, but artists now have to earn money through tours and sponsorships

Why are you using meme arrows?

Nice and interesting. Also note that we can also find Chinese movie for free on KZread.

Thanks for telling me about tudou. I can go on there and watch better shows, from the states. Helps me in learning Chinese.

as a chinese people, i have to say that piracy is mostly the only way to watch foreign tv series and play video games produced by foreign workshops in china. even if you find a way to purchase legal copies in china, the way itself is propably illegal.

Nowadays a lot of young Chinese are a huge fan of British TV series and American series, for one reason it's a good way for relaxation, the second, they can learn English. Piracy is indeed rampant especially in entertainment domains like movie music or games, but some Chinese fans also purchased some legitimate products through online shopping like in Taobao[the Chinese eBay],and they are highly supportive of legal downloads, it's just that problem in china are really complicated.

your camera is really stretched

I live in Canada,But I see movies, TV shows and listen to all kinds of music for free too. Using super advanced Chinese piracy softwares. I also finished Mass Effect3 recently too. Downloaded from a Chinese website. That's kinda of an advantage if you know a little bit Chinese language.

how do i access that website when i live in usa ? D: that site / system or program whatever looks interesting as another way to watch TV shows and movies for free

Actually, you can find a fair amount of pirated material here in the West. In the U.S., anyone who has owned a couple of MP3 players, whether they be on a cellular device or not, rarely pays for music anymore. It's not to the scope of Chinese piracy, but then again, we don't have 1.4 billion people. The only reason I would buy something off of iTunes is because I find that with many songs, iTunes is without static or just has a particular artist that I can't find someplace else.

That is so called ”gun movie“.Some take a cam into the cinema to record movies.Because DVD have not saled in shop at that time.But once the dvd comes,you will find it on Internet soon,

What about piracy of games ?

Well, pretty good video. Thank you

there is nothing you can do about that, the sources of the foreign movies on Funshion are from their country of production, if you can't download them in good quality yet in the States, Funshion won't have a good copy for it either.

Hi Serpentza, May be you can also make a video on the replica rolex watches in Shenzhen or Guangzhou, China. I understand these items are very popular in China. They are very high standard of replicating the watch. From other videos in KZread.Com i saw, there are replica rolex watches movement has reached the high standard of calibre 3135 movement, just like the swiss eta movement. If possible, make some videos about them to show us. Thank you. You are awesome.

do u watch any chinese tv/movies

My computer can connect and watch youtube if I use a tool. As for some big video websites, like Tudou, Youku, Souhu and etc, they bought the copyrights of the Tv serives and films in their websites. They get profit by advertisement. But there are some small websites which have pirate TV serives and films.

Hi Wilson, As a foreigner in China, can I download the movies while I visit China and then go back to State with them?

bandofbrothers19 I think so. But most download websites are in Chinese. So you better find a Chinese to help you.

while the Chinese government do care about the copyright at the moment, the states news said that every download music in the future will be charged like what western do.

You can use Thunder download hot torrents which is slow on emule, but full speed of internet supply on thunder vip service which costs 1￡ for one month.

Yeah and funshion is actually mainstream nowadays, ever since they have gone "legit", major musicians and artistes have turned this to their advantages, and regularly promote their materials on Funshion. In China, artistes dont earn through selling CDs/DVDs, they earn through endorsements.

>use meme arrows >b/c yt is an image board now

great vid

In fact，there are more softwares providing movies and music for free.just like “kuai bo” =快播 （you can see thousands of movies for free ，even AV from Japan or Western countries）music just like kugou= 酷狗 all these are free so we are more free than others .

Mass Effect, Top Gear, Hot Chinese Wife...this guy is living the dream.

actually there's a music player called KUGOU, its more easy to listen and download music online

I think places like Jia Le Fu often have legitimate DVDs. I have a feeling your videos are making a lot of people want to go to China. More than likely they won't tend to share your open attitude when they get there, though. You seem rather unique in terms of being able to either adapt or ignore things you don't like. Most people rather tend to do the opposite, it seems to me.

土豆不是有版权吗？

Actually, the big sites like funshion have already turned "legit". Their influences are so great that they NOW cooperate with the big companies, you heard me. Newly screened movies are no longer being shown, the only movies that go on these sites are older movies, or movies that have been approved by the companies that made them.

I suggest you guys to use Qvodplayer.

Lol. I have a $60 "iPhone" from Pandawill, a suspicous looking Vowney from Focalprice, and a Bedove X21 that is not looking like an outright copy but looks a lot like HTC phones.

And about TV series and Movies,well part of what video said is right.However,Youku.com which is the most popular video website in China,have bought the copyright of the episode or movie.So,whatever you watch in Youku.com,it is legal.

Another thing is PC games, you can download various PC games from chinese gamesites or buy warcraft III with less than 1 pound on taobao (chinese ebay)

Maybe I'm wrong, but I find it hard to believe that the websites pay the fees to stream all those tv shows and movies. But it's ok, we have similar websites, and do the same too. I even know of people who stream and maybe download Chinese stuff.
