China has started cracking down on cloud storage to combat piracy

Online piracy is so prevalent in many parts of Asia that actually purchasing content is considered unusual, especially in China. The rapid growth of cloud storage in the country has made it even easier for people to download and share pirated content online, thanks to the affordability of cloud storage in China and the lack of strong regulations to combat piracy, but that’s starting to change. Earlier this week, the Chinese government started requiring cloud storage providers to have more stringent anti-piracy policies, and take a more active role in removing pirated content from their services.
