Most of us do know about baidu.com. Baidu is China's largest
search engine with a 75.5 percent market share, according to Beijing-based
research firm Analysys International. But the company has faced numerous
allegations that the site supports online piracy. And, Baidu
has been listed in the US Trade Representative’s notorious list of
counterfeiting and piracy for both physical and online markets.
Thus, Baidu has
to delete millions of documents from its online library platform that the
company offers pirated copies of their works.
Estimate about 2.8 million files in the library's literary works
category, deleting most of the files, the company will continues to delete
files as it processes other sections of the library in order to run the website
without breaking the rules.
The Baidu's mp3 services will not be shut down
during that period. Reason is Baidu only searches the web for the audio link
that already been available to download. But for now, Baidu.com is still doing
a great job maintaining there website without any problem.
So, we can still continue using it
when we wanted to find some news or media that are in Chinese language.
