Don't belive it !

BaiDu gain the groung with allowing the posting of illegal MP3 songs and ringtones on web, after being sue and pretend to stop these illegal activities, the popularity in China is diving.

[Mr. Smart]

please, get Real!

Is this a joke?

Baidu is a directory of stolen goods. It's the fastest way to find out how to steal something (copyright).

If Baidu respected copyright, would all those sophisticated strategies mean anything?

The question is, what % of their shares should Baidu give to copyright owners to compensate for this? I suggest 75% of Baidu should be given to movie studios and record companies. This would recognize their unwilling investment in Baidu.

And it would set a nice precedent for the rest of the industry.

I don't think people should be proud of stealing, or helping others to steal!
