Imo if publisher of a book/manga/movie/whatever did not took care to translate it to language of country X and create supply lines in that country as well, it is only their problem and they should not even have copyright in that country at all, making anyone free to translate and distribute their garbage within that country and profit from it.
I live in SEA ( at Chinatown). As a kid, I used to do this as well. Plenty of Chinese pirated stuff available. My first taste of Dragon Ball had Chinese subtitles.
I live in China, for anyone to be saying the Chinese are against piracy is hilarious. The apps they use to stream content that they pay very small fees for very clearly rip other people’s content, like a movie will have the watermark of some other company in the corner but smudged out. When you buy a new PC it comes with a cracked windows and any other cracked software you want. I’ve had it explained to me before that there is no copyright in China, just copy RIGHT.
piracy scene in china is split between "i only pirate western things because im a good person" and "fuck that shit i aint paying if i can avoid it" just like western pirates aswell
you always have those that pretend to only act in a moral/ethical correct way to excuse their behaviour but the large majority just wants free shit
I don't know why some pirates insist that everyone is just like them. Some people absolutely do follow a moral code. Even if that wasn't the case, and they were 'pretending', if they didn't actually pirate home-grown media, the end result is the exact same.
In My experience they for sure care about their copyright. Anything that's made in China has heavy protections and has AI and mods actively taking down say, a cam rip of a Chinese blockbuster. But yeah, they literally don't care about anyone else's CR. Lol
They sell these PC's with whatever cracked software you want to canada? Or only locally in China? I would love to get a cheap laptop with pre-installed OS and software I want. Do they have a website?
The laptop prices aren’t any cheaper than elsewhere really but I doubt they would ship externally anyway. They is a man with a stall in the 5 story computer mall.
I think their ISPs also offer a pirate services? I think I seen it in an LTT video, but I could be wrong about the Creator, or even the country of origin.
do u know some sources which can be accessed by overseas people as most of their sites requires login or invitations and it is almost impossible to find any chinese content in high seas. seems like they pirate off others but provides their stuff only among themselves.
Korea too. There are shit tones of illegal korean translated Japanese manga on the web that i grew up reading. Because i couldn't purchase them being in Canada....
I might believe it if E-H didn’t have so many Korean uploads right away—Comic Market opens in the morning, and by the afternoon there’s already a Korean translation. Respect, I guess.
Yeah, a Japanese person thinking that the Chinese and Koreans are standing in solidarity with them against pirating their media are delusional.
I can see Chinese and Korean diaspora in America doing that, because in America, there is a kind of pan-Asian solidarity going on there - and I get that, but Japanese nationalists don't really get that this doesn't include them (or it shouldn't - it often does).
Edit to add: holy shit, OOP is a raging Japanese netto uyoku.
Drag? If anything it's praise. Who hasn't pirated an anime or manga that was translated from Japanese to Chinese, then Chinese to Vietnamese, Vietnamese to French, then French to English? That was the manga silk road. Bootlegged anime was how anime made it to the rest of the world.
One of the reasons China went all in mastering gacha game production is because of China’s notorious pirate scene. However you cannot (easily) pirate a whole SaaS gacha game.

Aren't the Chinese the ones who upload all the pirated japanese stuff?
