The Chinese government has passed a new regulation to ban the uploading and downloading of Internet material without the copyright holder’s permission.

Under the regulation, effective from July 1, anyone uploading texts, and performance, sound and video recordings to the Internet for downloading, copying or other use, must acquire the permission of the copyright owners and pay the required fee.

The production, import and supply of devices that are capable of evading or breaching technical measures of copyright protection and technical services are prohibited under the regulation.

The regulation was drawn up on the principle that it must balance the interests of copyright owners, Internet service providers and users of the copyrighted works, said an official with the Legal Affairs Office of the State Council.

    Hmm interestng. Never saw it from a manufacturing standpoint but yeah only stand to reason that they would want to do so only because less Dl’d for free means more having to be made in order to be sold. Since they pretty much make evrything these days it means more jobs for the John Q. China guys and gals. It really is like they say “follow the money” and you’re sure to find out the motive.
