Is China banning US movies?

China was none too pleased when the United States ran and tattled to the World Trade Organization this spring - in the form of a intellectual property rights case - that its government wasn't doing enough to fight the pirating of American movies.


Meanwhile, US corporation FOX sells low-cost DVDs to China to "combat piracy".

And this article has Bill Gates admitting that tolerating piracy has helped him in the long run.

1. That's so immature.
Oh yeah, you're banning our products? We'll ban YOU! So there!:eyes:
It's so junior high.

2. Well, I hope the xenophobes don't start banning Chinese movies, some of them are great.
