Anti-piracy forum calls for international cooperation

Experts have welcomed updates to the legal framework to tackle piracy as digital access to foreign films and TV series poses new challenges in copyright protection.

Advances in online streaming technology have made watching Hollywood blockbusters and foreign TV series on mobile platforms routine for young Chinese such as Peng Yingjie, who follows HBO's Game of Thrones on Internet company Tencent's video website.

"It's great to have real-time update of the drama through legitimate channels. It feels definitely much better than watching pirated content in low quality," said the student from the East China University of Political Science and Law.
