Sex and the single pirate

I recently got a list of magazines pirated by what I believe to be a group of Chinese media pirates. As far as I can tell, most of the magazines they get digitally from some subscription service, though some appear to be hand-scanned. It makes for an interesting profile of the pirates. They're interested in computers, of course, but also motor sports, home decor, luxury goods, horror movies, and business. Politics is noticeably (and nor surprisingly) absent from the list (or maybe it's just because I can't read Chinese and this list is primarily in English).

Anyway, here's your free market research on the interests of today's Chinese magazine pirate:
