Prison Break has become one of the most anticipated shows nowadays. With a huge fan base whether because of the suspenseful plot, or the witty actors, it has reached its target audience and surpassed the boundaries of the United States, where it originally premiered. Now, Prison Break is not only airing in countries outside the United States but is also airing in non-English speaking countries like China.
Prison Break, an action-suspense series created by Paul Scheuring, centers on Lincoln Burrows who was sentenced to death and the intricate plan of his brother, Michael Scofield, to help him escape his death sentence and prove his innocence. The show stars Dominic Purcell, Wentworth Miller, Amaury Nolasco, Wade Williams, Paul Aldestein, William Fichtner and Sarah Wayne Callies among others.
In 2004, Prison Break was banned from China’s television loop since the show generally entails a lot of violence and brutal action. The prohibition of the show in China was actually a result of a bunch of claims that such brutal scenes might be damaging to children. However, Prison Break’s fame and popularity has overpowered the ban as Jinan TV, a television station in China, aired some footages of the show. The said television station is actually not the first one to air illegal clips of Prison Break. Despite Jinan TV’s declaration that the Prison Break broadcast was being used to teach and promote English, the government still barred the further airing of any clips from Prison Break.
With the prohibition of Prison Break in China, more and more fans are most likely turning to the black market to get a hold of their own Prison Break DVDs. In fact, Prison Break is just one of the show’s among the hundreds of American television series being copied, pirated and sold illegally in the black market.
