In this Dec. 12, 2013 photo, people meet at a lounge of the Youku headquarters in Beijing, China. In China, pirate DVDs in stores and on the street were traditionally the fastest way to get access to a film, and cheaper than going to the theater. A few years ago, piracy also dominated online. Today, China’s major video streaming sites have deals with Hollywood studios and others and are filled with licensed content. To protect their investments, a group of video sites announced in November they had teamed up with the Motion Picture Association of America to sue other Chinese sites they accuse of copyright violations.
