Reporter observation

It's hard to move to the user's head

In addition to Internet cafes and long-distance bus charges, the film association said that there is no clear timetable for the implementation of other charging projects. For example, video sites, many sites to watch and download movies online is free behavior, currently can not be calculated according to the formula benchmark values. In addition, some film producers will directly authorize the Internet copyright to a website, the shadow of the association is difficult to receive.

The Shadow Association claims that 10% of the actual charge will be charged as a management fee, and that the remaining 90% will be directly assigned to the members ' rights holders.

However, some Internet café owners told reporters that the shadow of the association in fact in the promotion of authentic film platform, will enhance the cost of Internet cafes, it is difficult to transfer to the user head. Also, users said that if watching Internet cafes to increase internet fees, will be used to watch movies online through the video site.
