This is not a closure, but a complete change of function: the Chinese site VeryCD specializes in downloading music and movies through the eDonkey network, announced that it removed all its links to illegal content, and now works as a directory of legal tender. Early January is BTChina, a links directory BitTorrent, which had closed its doors after being served with it had no license to broadcast video and audio content.Considered one of the major Chinese websites devoted to illegal downloading, VeryCD had to abandon its core business following legal pressure. In early January, Chinese authorities have released new rules on illegal downloading, including setting quantitative thresholds: are now prosecuted sites that aggregate more than 500 illegal content or which have totaled more than 50,000 illegal downloads.
Regularly frowned on by those entitled to its relative tolerance for counterfeiting, China has been engaged for several years in a standoff with the United States in the World Trade Organization. The U.S. wants China to take a series of measures to stop counterfeit digital goods and physical, and adapt its laws on intellectual property.
In recent years, China had issued more transactions that led to the closure of download sites. The authorities regularly launch operations "cleansing" against illegal sites in the broadest sense, including political or pornographic sites.
