Yesterday may be a watershed for video sites like Tudou and Youku, which are favored by netizens. According to the regulations on the administration of Internet audiovisual Program services issued at the end of last year (hereinafter referred to as "Regulations"), these commercial websites that provide video services without a state-owned background are already in "illegal" grey areas.

However, internet commentator Liu Xingliang yesterday revealed that the State administration of radio and TV will be issued by the relevant supplementary provisions, may be able to bring the video site a turnaround.

January 31 is the watershed?

Internet commentator Liu Xingliang said yesterday that relevant government departments will introduce the implementation of video services, the most important one may be, as long as the provisions of the law before the promulgation of the law and operation of the private video web site, can apply for licences; After the promulgation of the Regulations, No longer accept any private video site applications.

However, as of the post Press, SARFT official website still does not have the public information about the rules. And Tudou CEO Wang, Youku CEO Koo, said to the morning news reporter, has not received any information from the management department.

"At present, our legal personnel are still actively communicating with the relevant departments and hope to get further and clearer information as soon as possible." Koo said. Wang also said to reporters that the relevant departments are currently waiting for the implementation of the provisions of the rules.

December 29 last year, Mii and the State Administration of radio and Television issued a joint "regulation", the request from January 31, 2008, Applications for Internet audio-visual program services business enterprises must be "wholly state-owned or state-owned units."

Yesterday was the deadline in the regulations, but video sites like potatoes, Youku and other non-state-funded backgrounds still operate normally, and are not unduly affected by the "nationalization" clause in the regulation. Koo and Wang Micro both said that the current Youku and Tudou operation of all normal.

Most of them don't have a license.

In hundreds of of our websites engaged in video service, most of them are privately owned, or have foreign background, and there are few video websites with state-owned assets holding. As a result, the promulgation of the "provisions" has been very disappointing to the industry.

Since then, SARFT has promised to publish its interpretation of the regulations on the official web site, and it is the industry's unanimous hope that the additional provisions will allow for a relaxation of the requirements set out in the regulation.

It is reported that the "provisions" clearly, engaged in the Internet audio-visual program services, requiring applicants must be wholly state-owned or state-owned units; In addition, if the radio and film and television authorities issued the "Information Network to disseminate audio-visual program license" (hereinafter referred to as the "license") or to perform the procedures No unit or individual may engage in the Internet audio-visual program service.

2004, SARFT issued the "Internet and other information network to disseminate audio-visual program management measures", the provision of information network to engage in audio-visual programs business licensing system, engaged in information network to disseminate audio-visual program business must obtain the "license."

The reality is that the number of sites to obtain permits is few, only the CCTV international website, the Shanghai Media Group under the Oriental Broadband, China International Broadcasting Corporation's international online, first video network, Sina, Tencent and the United network, such as a few sites with the "license", Most websites that offer internet audio and video programs do not have access to the license.
