5 Qvod managers face porn charges

FIVE managers of online video service Qvod will face prosecution on charges of spreading pornography on the Internet, police said yesterday.

The case concerning the Shenzhen-based Qvod Technology Co Ltd has been transferred to the prosecuting authorities for further investigation and prosecution, the Ministry of Public Security said in a statement.

Preliminary investigations found that the company, headed by Wang Xin, had spread a large quantity of porn and pirated content via the popular video player from 2012 and made huge profits by charging users and advertisers.

When interviewed by China Central Television yesterday, Wang said he took a chance (to make the product). No matter how popular it is, it will end up badly, Wang said.

“This is my summary, and my advice to all of those working in the industry.” Wang told CCTV.

Turnover reached hundreds of million of yuan, and Wang and other four suspects earned large sums, the statement said.
