Piracy in China (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I am curious about something that came to my mind recently and that is, in China is it possible to pirate and how?

About China I only know about the firewall and little else, so before I say something idiotic or something that sounds very ignorant, I'd rather you enlighten me.

A good read no doubt, it really makes it clear why piracy is and was often a necessity, not only for those who can't afford to pay for something, but also those who live in an authoritarian regime. I wonder how Lin and Yu would have fared after the ban was lifted.

Calling it a necessity seems a bit much.

Nay, it was absolutely a necessity if you wanted to play console games outside of the iQue library.
