"It's really a permanent exit and I won't be doing BT anymore." December 8, just closed Btchina webmaster Huang Hiwei in the "Daily Economic news" special reporter interview said. "I was already ready, so the government said to shut it, I closed it." As a personal website, Btchina has already gone to the end. ”

Creating a website is "personal interest"

As the largest BT search engine in China, Btchina was found closed by netizens on December 4, and the news that one of the founders of the website Huang Hiwei was caught.

"Later, the news spread more and more widely, several major portals have posted such information, so many people who see the news are very worried, so I called Sina to call, want to clarify." Huang Hiwei to reporters: "I have not received any interviews before, you are the first." Huang Hiwei said that even he had suddenly found that the site was closed. "should be SARFT direct dispatch to the Mii, did not inform me." Then Huang Hiwei managed to access the relevant documents to confirm that Btchina finally came to an end.

"I started doing this in 2003." "Before there is a set of people doing, but Huang Hiwei and his several friends spend more energy, and finally btchina bigger and stronger." They write their own website scripts, their own Xianchan rental servers, their own maintenance. "Purely a personal hobby, we see in foreign countries such as BT technology exists, our country did not, it led in." Some of the problems that came up later were not what we could think of at the time. "Huang Hiwei said. He also cited an example as Btchina's existence is only "personal interest" basis: "From the station to the present, Btchina is now such a simple look, blue background, the simplest features and pictures." Many netizens are also asking why we do not change. "From the beginning to the present, Btchina are just Huang Hiwei and some of his friends in the work, did not open a company, everyone has their own jobs."

"There is no commercial piracy behind it."

Reporters in the survey found that many of the domestic BT sites have pirates behind the support, or for some large enterprises to provide content in exchange for server support and revenue. "We know this is happening, but we've never had a relationship with these things, we don't have content, we're a search engine," says Huang Hiwei. ”

Huang Hiwei admits using Btchina attracts some advertisers. "The money is not much, will not lose, but also did not how to earn, maintain the normal operation of the website." "He once again reiterated that Btchina is not a commercial website," The regular commercial website has the sales team to operate the advertisement, moreover the regular advertisement does not make any money, the bad advertisement we also do not want to answer. We basically have a few people responsible for the technology, the idea is very simple. We do not want to be irresponsible, because the site's influence is big, can not suddenly let it not, to give netizens a saying. But Huang Hiwei gradually realized that there were only two ways out of the Btchina: first, being discarded by netizens;

With the SARFT issued several notices, Huang Hiwei already know, Btchina time is not much, "My heart already has the website to be turned off expectations." So this time, Huang Hiwei very readily accepted the fact. "I think it has nothing to do with piracy, we have been very aware of this problem, and we have encountered some companies to find us, if the infringement of their rights, we immediately deleted." And if it is because of piracy, there should be a subject of infringement to sue us, but no. It's just a badge. "He admits that after so many years, emotionally, after all, is not willing to."

As for the Btchina, the Internet users to download the question, Huang Hiwei said: "Now there are many commercial sites can meet the needs of some." "He felt that the Btchina and Eden (a BT download site) and other sites were shut down is only the beginning, there will be more BT download site will be because the license is not complete and follow the footsteps.

Many netizens may not know that, although Btchina is only Huang Hiwei's amateur interest, but his company is closely related to BT-the famous BT download software bt Comet (BitComet) is the product of his company. But Huang Hiwei declined to comment on the survival of BT software after BT faced a high-pressure policy.

Reporter observation

BT website behind the industry chain

Downloading film and television works from any of the websites mentioned herein is free of charge. So why do these sites offer a free lunch? Reporters interviewed a number of insiders learned that the Pirates played a key role. And here we have to mention an organization--oday.

What is Oday? To put it simply, Oday is a non-profit, internationalized nongovernmental organization that delivers at least 50% of pirated software, movies and games to us-a figure that industry veterans estimate. Literally, the "O" in oday refers to the Arabic numeral "0", "Day" is the meaning of "heaven" in English, meaning that the new release of software, movies, games, etc. in less than a day time to crack, and provide sharing. Cracking and sharing is the core of Oday's spirit. Oday Organization members all over the world, all walks of life, this huge network of content, including movies and even before the original is far from the listing of the oday of the circle-such a circle, of course, Pirates of the favorite.

But breaking into oday organizations, especially the core, is not what most pirates can do. So some pirates directly to the BT Web site to provide free server (a cabinet costs about 100,000 ~25 million per year), the website member obtains the first-hand resources from the oday, uploads to the server, thus the pirate merchant also almost obtains the best quality piece source in the initial time, and suppresses into the plate, the goods, Enter the sales process. Generally, the resources are uploaded to the server will not immediately start sharing on the BT, but to wait for the Pirates to organize a good sales process. The site is popular by providing video downloads, and selling ads on the site for profit.

Others are using the latest and best films to improve their visibility, attract the attention of pirates, and directly sell the chips to the Pirates for profit. "There used to be a major channel to buy these films, and now because of the rise of video sites, internet cafes are almost never bought." ”

The third situation is more special, "such as a place or an enterprise to establish a similar to a certain information port, such as the Web site, the light has a server, no content, how to do?" They can provide servers and some money to some BT websites in exchange for a lot of content. ”

There are also a number of websites that mainly offer high-definition movie downloads by working with equipment vendors to make a profit. They are directly packaged with high-definition videos and high-definition players for sale, and the device maker can also get a sales commission in addition to paying advertising fees. "As far as I know, one of the famous high-definition download sites in the country can earn millions of dollars a year." "But high profits can also be a contradiction," the famous HD download site has been separated from many times by the distribution of benefits. However, Huang Hiwei that there should be only a handful of BT sites involved in such a wide range of interests: "and, the older the webmaster will not do for the money to do BT website." ”
