"Just in case you were wondering what the Chinese would consider a 'serious' case. Xinhua kindly points out that any pornographic Web site that had been clicked on more than 250,000 times would be considered a "very severe" case that could warrant a life sentence for its owners."

But China's a military dictatorship. They're supposed to be uptight.

So the moral is, create shitty, low quality porn.

Yeah, it'd like saying, "Next time you think your food's too hot, think of having your tongue branded".

they can't control the internet though.

If there's one reason not to be afraid of China, is that ideas are going to run wild as technology get better and people find ways around censorship.

The idea that you can control content is silly, there are far too many people...

Sounds like every American nerd's worst nightmear.

A lot of stuff is going underground. From my other thread:

"A 2000 study showed that 70% of Chinese men younger than 30 said they had watched pornography in the preceding year. "I'm sure those percentages are even higher today," said William Parish, a sociologist at the University of Chicago who led the study. "The numbers are very similar to men of that age in the United States.""
