Popular File-Sharing Website Hopes to Go Legit

Last week we reported the shutting down of China’s largest p2p file sharing sites including BTChina, UUbird.com and ydy.com for lacking a license to offer audio and video content. Now another downloading website wants to make sure it won’t share the same fate in the future.

VeryCD.com, one of the most popular Bit Torrent sites in China, could become legit if an Online Audio-Visual Broadcasting License is granted to the service.

“We are working on VeryCD's application and we are waiting for the response from Beijing authorities. We support any website that offers file-sharing through legal channels,” said an SCRFT official.

Currently, the app is found on SCRFT's website, according to which it could get the license by March 2010.
