Porn site used US server
POLICE in an eastern China city have shut a porn website using a US-based server and captured 31 people suspected of operating it, including the ringleader, a disabled primary school dropout.
The website had nearly 40,000 registered members and 10,000 daily viewers in China, police in Nantong, Jiangsu Province, said. Thirty-one suspects, including the ringleader, surnamed Liu, have been arrested in 18 provinces and regions, including Shanghai, Beijing and Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
Liu, 27, a native in Xi'an in Shaanxi Province, dropped out of primary school when his legs became paralyzed in second grade. Other major ring members included a university student majoring in computers and a 59-year-old civil servant, according to Xinhua news agency.
Liu, called "Lufei" on the Internet, said he found pornographic websites charge high membership fees and was inspired to set one up as a way out of financial distress.
He then rented a foreign server at a low price, Xinhua said. Liu failed to gain a large following until a university student, called "Qiaoba" on the Internet, volunteered to join his team without pay at the end of last year.
In February, "Qiaoba" introduced the 59-year-old civil servant identified as "jsrd" to be deputy administrator of the website.
The man said he risked taking part in the illegal business just one year before he could retire because he was "obsessed with the power."
