Chinese Search Engine Baidu.com has gone public in Nasdaq stock market last month and even caused a big impact of the first day listing. But things didn’t go their way recently as they have been sued by four largest record companies including Universal Music Group, EMI Group Plc, Sony BMG Music Entertainment and Warner Music Group Corp. The charge is of course about copyright infringement of mp3 songs.
If you have ever used Baidu to search for any mp3 songs before, you might have the same thought as mine, that songs listed in Baidu’s search result might have already infringed the copyright of the song. I had this doubt since the first day using the service, and now Baidu seems to get themselve into trouble.
Somehow, Baidu claims that they are just providing the search results that contain link to the source of illegal mp3 download sites. In fact, they do not offer any illegal mp3 download directly. I believe should Baidu to win this lawsuit, they might a better reason to defend themselve.
