Warner Bros. plans to experiment with online movie rentals in China in an attempt to compete with pirates.  Movies from Warner Bros. will reportedly be available for rent for a mere 4 to 7 yuan, roughly 60¢ to $1.03.

That just makes you wonder why they are charging $3 to $5 in the US for the same thing.  Unfortunately though, all rentals will be DRM protected.  Even renting or selling just a few thousand movies at $1 to $3 apiece is better than nothing I suppose.
