When I press him on where his middleman gets his product - that is, who's actually making these pirated DVDs - Zhou smiles and plays dumb. He knows I'm a journalist and there are things he's not going to tell me. "I think they're made somewhere here in Shanghai," he says, "but I'm not really sure; I just deal with my supplier...
