Here's a link to a story about a new form of video disc that China is promoting. The story says that the EVD "is aimed at relieving Chinese DVD producers from paying licensing fees to the companies that hold patents to the DVD format."

So not only will Chinese companies still produce bootleg DVDs, but they'll be able to do so without even paying for using the format. Crazy! I suppose the other option would be to pay for the rights to the film and not the format, tho'.

Anyhoo, I thought this was kind of interesting.

the high definition Enhanced versatile Disc.

I read about that, but I do not think it is going to fly right about now. Just because in China they are trying to promote it, Countries with more influence and and business power, will only push it down till they can create a replica of their own...and well EVDs cost more than DVDs.
