DVDs in China, the true entertainment medium

The Chinese are ahead, no doubt about it. Here are the DVD "entertainment media" much, much more than here. Moreover, when it goes well we manage with 20 euros ... You can call an accessible means? For goodness sake, I will not return to the battle of youth against the SIAE and the major record labels, I just say that there is myopia.
It is extremely interesting to go back home at night, wondering "what?" And be between the "buy a DVD." From them we vacation, perhaps. I started to buy more than anyone since I've been to Shanghai often step in front of more than one of the countless shops ... One in particular is so provided to be able to find some classic Italian films and older.
I managed to find the third series of Dr House, unfortunately there were only 10 episodes on 5 DVDs, so I am asking you to change it back to the store because I thought the series was complete. I came home with five and one more. Factor determining the price for sure, every time the Chinese government makes a move more than an "advertising" closing major industries of the false, but little or nothing in the micro, in stores. Moreover, calculating the density in a mile radius from my house, I have millions in China. Speaking with a Chinese friend of mine told me that why not go all the way so people are looking at home movies ... political fiction aside, it's still an industry worth millions.
Again, almost perfect competition (no, not the sign): single price RMB 7 to DVD (0.70 Eurocent). Films, programs (including Windows Vista Ultimate operating), games do you think the price is. For those who see the just compensation to the artists, adequate remuneration of the major motion picture, hard box DVD reason enough to buy the originals, prices range between 20 and 40 RMB (2-4 Euro).
