China uses Top Gun footage


Peace

Recommended Posts

Beijing has lately stepped up its campaign against the country’s “fake news” scourge, with the General Administration of Press and Publications putting pressure on news organizations to dismiss journalists suspected of doctoring their stories. Ironically, the latest example of alleged news fakery comes from China’s own state broadcaster, CCTV.

 

In a development that could further inflame Hollywood’s frustrations with unauthorized reproduction of its intellectual property in China, Chinese netizens are accusing CCTV of repurposing footage from the movie “Top Gun” for use in a news story about an air force training exercise.

They don't respect simple copyright law for movies.

 

Yet, when it'll come to mass-producing, say, cost-effective fuel cells that our "American innovation" designs, Obama et al. expect Chinese companies to play fair and not rip our patents. Perhaps someone could print up a background banner for him with the theme of "Losing the Future."
