Excellent use of "art films"
'Art films are repackaged as porn to sell in China' - headline, Reuters.
Certainly more profitable than chopping them into guitar picks.
But how irritating would it be to pop Naughty Nurses into the DVD player, only to learn that we had sold you The Piano? There are going to be a lot of very frustrated Chinese men. Indeed, there already are, since young males outnumber young females in China by 5-4. This kind of deceptive trade practice could lead to war.
UPDATE: Broken link corrected, thanks to BD.

Ooops. Thanks for the correction. I definitely need to improve the QC around here.
