Chinese city may fine Web surfers for making egao films

Video spoofs have become so popular that Chinese have coined a new slang term, “egao,” to describe the act of using real film clips to create mocking send ups.
Star film director Chen Kaige complained earlier this year about a 20-minute short titled “The Bloody Case of the Steamed Bun,” made with clips from Chen’s “The Promise.” Xinhua didn’t say how Chongqing would decide whether Internet users violated the rules or whether it would try to enforce its regulations on Web surfers elsewhere.
