US Movie In China Money Making Shock
In a country in which every movie can be watched essentially for free it may seem making money from movies is impossible. It's not. As this report about Transformers opening weekend from the LA Times proves.
It was the No. 1 movie in all 58 countries where it opened, with particularly impressive ticket sales in Russia, Australia, South Korea and China, where it opened to $21.9 million, the biggest-ever debut for an English-language movie.

China's Translation Army
Interesting piece on CNN about the army of volunteers in China translating content in near realtime:
More experienced translators are given so-called "zero day" shows -- highly popular programs, like "Prison Break," that are recorded and uploaded by someone living abroad to a special FTP site immediately after the program. Meanwhile, back in China, a team is on standby, ready to download and subtitle the show as fast as they can for Chinese fans to watch online -- and to see if they can beat rival translation gangs.
