Create Chinese P2P Startup, Rake in Cash

Why am I writing about online video when I could be creating yet another Chinese P2P-powered on demand video site and raking in venture capital? First Xunlei, then UUSee and now the unfortunately named PPStream have all closed funding rounds in the last few months — with Shanghai’s PPStream reportedly scoring $10 million in Series B from Qiming and Ceyuan ventures.

Jokes about South Park’s Kenny apparently performing traditional Chinese opera in the above screenshot aside, for all the intellectual property caveats levied at the Chinese market by content creators, distribution technology companies seem to be giving it plenty of attention. I can’t tell you how the experiences between the different services compare, since my Chinese begins and ends with saying “three pork buns please” in Cantonese. If any of you readers out there can give these services a try, please let me know via email or in the comments.
