Stolen Intellectual Property on the Chinese Internet

While youtube is getting all kinda of grief about copyright issues, Chinese video sites are posting TV shows and movies like there’s no tomorrow. Are all the big networks doing anything to bring legal action to these Chinese companies as well? Who knows… Here’s are a few of the shows that I found:
Lost season1 season 2 part of season 3, Futurama, The Apprentice, Hustle, Ghost Whisperer, Prison Break 1st season 2nd season, Joey, and The Unit. Courtesy of the good people at tudou.com.
I’ll continue to report shows that I find on the Chinese net, for anyone who’s interested. I’m curious to see how long the Chinese net-immunity lasts.

China Web Bits

Flickr China Photo Pool
With about 1500 members, this Flickr group is focused on photographing all things China. If you’re in China, and you have a camera, you might want to consider joining in on the action.

Chinamemes.com
A digg-like site for China-specific tech/internet news. Design could use some work, but overall, a good source of information for China internet nerds.

IsaacMao.com
One of the leading Chinese bloggers out there. Writing in both Chinese and English, he’s got a lot to say about the internet in China, and abroad. His recent Open Letter to Google made a bit of noise in the blogosphere.

Chinese Language

Pinyin News – A Guide to the Writing of Chinese in Romanization
An interesting blog which appears to be about nothing but pinyin and the Chinese Language. They have a list of tools on their page which looks useful.

  • What a PSP Phone may look like March 12, 2010
    Some interesting images are emerging from a Chinese website M8cool.com. Apparently patience is not one of the virtues of the shanzhai (loosely meaning, imitation) industry, as they love to kick out early prototypes and images of not-yet-released gadgets. The latest one of these is the PSP Phone.  […]

  • Human-Powered Washing Machine March 12, 2010
    What do you get when you cross a treadmill with a washing machine? Give up? Something that looks a little like this, actually. A kid by the name of Zhang Jiayu from the northeastern Liaoning province thought that conventional washing machines wasted far too much electricity. He then had the bright idea of creating one that was powered by a man running on top […]

  • China Says Goodbye to Google With Cartoons March 12, 2010
    Since Google announced that they would no longer continue to censor in China, pretty much everybody has assumed that they won't be able to remain in the country. That may turn out to be the case. I'm not going to speculate too much on the issue, because there's way more than enough being said already. In the midst of all that headache, I do wa […]

  • China ice sculpture tragically made entirely from beer March 12, 2010
    The city of Harbin in northern China is widely known for it's freeze-your-snowballs-off temperatures and it's annual ice festival. Domestically, the city is also known for it's beer. Sadly, some wiseguy decided to combine the two to create a ginormous ice sculpture with nothing more than copious amounts of frozen beer. Such a waste... […]

  • China's xpPhone to be upgraded to Win7Phone? March 12, 2010
    The Chinese xpPhone was itself thought to be a rumor until engadget China reported on it last month. Sadly, it looks like this monstrosity does indeed exist. And what's more, it looks like it might soon be upgrading to Windows 7. Nevermind that the real Windows 7 Mobile won't be coming out until late next year. As usual, China has us covered with t […]

  • Best Chinese Knockoff Ever? Sony VAIC TT March 12, 2010
    There's something ingenius about taking an 'O' and making it a 'C.'  It's so subtle. So clever. It boggles the mind with possibilities: Orec cookies anyone? Maybe a little Cvaltine to wash it down?  Ok, maybe not. But that's generally the idea behind this 'Viac' 'Vaic,' a shanzhai version of the tiny Son […]
