Beijing - Authorities will begin charging Internet cafs, long-distance buses and other distributors for screening Chinese movies starting October, as part of the country's fight against copyright infringement.

The China Film Copyright Association (CFCA), formerly called the China Film Copyright Protection Association, has submitted a proposal to the National Copyright Administration (NCA) listing a standard for collecting copyright royalties.

Shi Wenxia, a spokesperson for the CFCA, told China Daily on Tuesday that the association's members will share 90 percent of the royalties collected and the association will keep the remaining 10 percent as management fees.
