"Since 2009, the video industry is facing a more severe anti-piracy situation," Sohu Group Chairman and CEO Charles Zhang said. "Especially when those big Internet companies with resource advantages participate in large-scale piracy.

  • From Western TV Sets to Chinese Online Streaming Services: English-Language TV Series in Mainland China

    From Western TV Sets to Chinese Online Streaming Services: English-Language TV Series in Mainland China

    . Volume 16, Issue 2 November 2019 From Western TV sets to Chinese online streaming services: English-language TV series in mainland China Xiaoran Zhang, University of Nottingham, UK Abstract: In the age of multiple screens, online streaming has in the 2010s become the most significant way of consuming overseas television programs in Mainland China. Due to rather strict government policy and censorship, foreign television series are presently only legally distributed and circulated on licensed online streaming services. Focusing on the streaming of US/UK TV series, this paper examines online streaming services’ distribution activities in order to understand both streaming websites’ business practices surrounding transnational TV and the features they employ to cater to online audiences for these series. To grasp how the online distribution of English-language TV series operates in China, I begin by looking at China’s five major video streaming services, analyzing the design of their interfaces, scheduling of programs, and accessibility for different tiers of users. I then examine how streaming services use social media as a major tool to promote their US and UK TV series. Through this analysis, I argue that transnational TV flow has had to be localized to achieve distribution and marketing goals in a Chinese context, resulting in the uniqueness of these streaming practices. This article concludes that, with the development of online streaming technologies, distinctive modes of audience consumption in China have informed the localization of this specific transnational TV content. Keywords: Online streaming, streaming consumption, television distribution, transnational TV, Tencent Video, HBO, Game of Thrones Introduction As one of HBO’s most successful high-end shows, Game of Thrones (2011-) has earned a worldwide reputation that includes the fandom of Chinese viewers.

    All About Tablets What Is a Tablet?

    All About Tablets What is a tablet? A tablet is any portable device with a touch screen that allows for mobile computing. It differs from a Smart Phone in that it does not have phone functionality. Otherwise, it can be nearly identical. An eReader is a type of tablet designed primarily for reading eBooks, and may or may not have the same advanced functionalities as a tablet. Things you can do with a tablet Most tablets have: Internet web browsing Calendar/Clock Email mp3/Music Playing Camera (Picture/Video) Some Androids and iPads allow for a keyboard/mouse to be connected, for easier use. Some also have a 3g (or 4g) antenna built-in, which allows for cell phone data access to the internet in areas where there is no WiFi available (this requires a subscription to use). Things you CAN’T do with a tablet Tablets cannot run or install traditional programs, like what a computer uses. Tablets only run “apps”. You cannot install a program or game unless it is available as an app. Not all tablets have apps. Some third-party tablets (that are neither Androids nor iPads) do not have an “App Store”, and only run the apps they come with. Tablets cannot connect to a printer. Some advanced printers allow for printing from Android or iPads, but not many do. Even if it has a USB port, you cannot just plug a USB device into a tablet unless the tablet supports it. Types of Tablets/Operating Systems Apple iOS: Used by all Apple devices, including iPhone, iPad, and even iPod Android OS: The most commonly used OS.
