A few big movie companies in Taiwan not only have a grip on simultaneous screening in movie theaters, but also have a hold of distribution rights through video tapes, as well as conventional and cable television. Single enterprises control the flow from primary to secondary distribution outlets. Robert Chen reproachfully comments that this has created a "complete vertical monopoly."
國內幾家大電影公司不只掌握了戲院聯映通路，也握有錄影帶、有線頻道、電視台等管道的租映權，上游到下游等於控制在同一業者手上，形成「徹底的垂直壟斷」，陳儒修批評。
