The audio and video products market in China is not well regulated. Those who have lived in China for any amount of time find that pirated DVDs are easily accessible. An authentic DVD may be priced from Rmb50 to Rmb200 to 300, while less than Rmb10 will buy you a pirated DVD copy without much difference in quality; perhaps unsurprisingly, Chinese consumers tend to buy pirated DVDs instead of authentic ones. Apparently the cost of the copyright embedded in a genuine copy largely accounts for such a big price difference.
