China has ordered more than two dozen video entertainment Web sites to shut down under new rules governing such sites, a broadcast regulator said on its Web site Friday The full story HERE
Chinese government just want to control video sites in China,China has already banned youtube.But I do not think the new rule will effect dp webmasters' business much as most of their sites are in english.
From what I know a lot of these Chinese sites are broadcasting copyrighted movies and songs, so it does not come as a surprise, though I would expect some of these bans to be political in nature as the Chinese take this opportunity to ban political sites that are detrimental to their interests. Thought I hope that the Chinese continue to weed out all those copyright infringers.
