They learn from American, they make money here.

I come from china, in my hometown, there are many successful programs appear on tv or internet which the producer learned the idea from Americans, they also make lots of money on that. I will make two example here.

One is called "super girl " , based on a reasch, more than thirty millons people watched " super girl" final night,

The super girl was first seen onn Tv on sep 2003, this year,the super girl comes as season 4, every year, more than twenty millions Chinese girl sign up for the super girl, usually, the top 3 competiter will have chance to sigh up a contract with famous record company,Thus, for those girls who wants to be famous , this is the easiest way for them. Apparently, the producer copy this idea of this Tv show from "American Idol" No matter what, the producer and the studio make more than billon yuans every year from this show, Now in china, we called this as : "Super girl phenomenon."

Another example is a website called :"Inside the campus" the inventor totally copy the website from facebook, here is a picture on the "Inside the campus" , as you can see, even the color is the same as Facebook

they have same function, same feature,.However,you can't say that is an illegal website.On march 2007, the" Inside the Campus" came into the market on NASDAQ, just like Facebook in the U.S, almost every chinese college student use" In side the campus" everyday, it become a part of their life.

Those people copy the idea from American people, they make a lot of money. Why couldn't we make miracles based on our own idea? We will and that's the thing that every Chinese student who learn media in the U.S want to do.
