We all have the perception that the people in China is very strong in piracy, and some relate to the ‘fact’ that the Chinese Government is the same - supporting piracy. However, R2G, a Chinese company that promotes the consumption and monetization of legitimate digital content through a transparent licensing and monitoring system, have won a case against online piracy by China.com (source). A new breakthrough in the market. But what’s more worthy of noting is Mathew Daniel’s comment - a clear followup on my previous post.
Piracy has been the convenient bogey man for the ills of the music industry in China with the end-consumer being portrayed as the perpetrator of all manner of theft of intellectual property. However, it is not always piracy to blame but also the lack of a more robust business model with proper revenue allocation that should be the focus of greater attention.
From what he said, it makes me wonder, what has the Western world got to offer for the people rather than against the people?
