Hollywood threathens China with boycot


No love from Hollywood

With Silicon Hutong I could not stop laughing when I learned the movie industry in Hollywood is actually threathening China with a boycot unless something is done about the piracy.
Two days ago, MPAA Chief Dan Glickman (aka, Hollywood's hired gun in DC) told The Hollywood Reporter that if China didn't do something about ending piracy, the industry could choose to boycott China. I don't expect an official response - I think, once again, the government officials with remit over Hollywood's fortunes in China are probably too paralyzed with paroxysms of mirth to compose a response.
Silicon Hutong explains them why this threat is nonsense.
