Chinese Authorities Don't Like Parodies
From BostonHerald:
"China will regulate video on the Internet following a surge in satirical items in which real film clips are remade into mocking send-ups.
Video spoofs have become so popular that Chinese have even coined a new slang term, "egao," to describe the act.
Beginning in late August or September, only authorized Web sites such as Sina.com, Sohu.com and Netease.com will be allowed to show short films, the official Xinhua News Agency said Wednesday, citing an announcement by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television."

impossible to define and enforce
Sometimes, I approve of control by the state. Too much democracy is not good for a country's citizens.
@olive: And I guess you would like to be the person who's telling the citizens what's good for them and what isn't. Right?
The government of China does not understand the internet.
