There is, however, heated discussion about the so-called Steamed Bun Lawsuit, where the director of Farewell My Concubine, Chen Kaige, has sued the creator of a 20-min spoof based on his film. Intellectual property trumps censorship. Similar outcomes different perpetrators. One must seem easier to take on than the other.
