Comments on 100,000 yuan fine for uploading Olympic videos?
Translation is not accurate:
"Individual will face 100,000 yuan fine"
should be
Individual will face up to 100,000 yuan fine
So it is the same as MPAA's strategy in the states. Since that didn't do crap in the states. I doubt it will do much in China

What the H-E-double hockey sticks are you talking about?
There is no connection between the MPAA and this fine. MPAA deals with ratings. This article talks about re-broadcasting rights and copyright infringement. Please before you turn on your computer turn on your brain. The MPAA is also very very effective and extremely powerful. Yes, it sucks in that upon investigation the MPAA just rates as they choose and the public can't know the raters identities but there is still a choice (although not an economically-wise one) for directors to choose not to submit their films to the ratings system.
