The Chinese government has banned 10 online video sites and has warned 17 others. The sites banned were accused of violating the regulations. An interesting thing about these sites is that none of them were banned due to piracy. The charges on the sites include the display of horrific, inappropriate and violent content, running a service without permission, etc. The sites warned includes 12 video sites and a game service provider. Among the warned sites is VeryCD, which is the country’s largest eDonkey indexing site.
