Google is an investor in Baidu, and a recent competitor in China. It's hard to tell what Baidu is all about with no comprehensive English interface, but there is enough English on the main page to make it clear that Baidu specializes in one area in which Google is weakest: music. Right below the search box Baidu has placed selection buttons for MP3, WMA, and RealMedia files. MP3 search results go straight to the music file, which can be seamlessly downloaded. Yikes! There is no way Google or any other American company can compete with thatat least not until the wholesale remaking of the music industry is complete, years from now. Being a Nasdaq-traded company apparently does not bind Baidu to American copyright regulations. --------------------------- http://www.toptechnews.com/story.xhtml?story_id=37390 China Attempts To Sink MP3 Pirates July 20, 2005 12:12PM The move by Baidu.com to delete thousands of links to pirated music is a response to requests from R2G, a Chinese digital rights management company, which is currently preparing for a U.S. initial public offering expected to raise around $55 million. Baidu.com, China's answer to Google, has announced that it is to delete thousands of links to Internet sites offering pirated music. The move is a response to requests from R2G, a Chinese digital rights management company, which is currently preparing for a U.S. initial public offering expected to raise around $55 million. But most analysts have suggested that the move is a sticking plaster treatment for a growing problem rather than a cure. Salman Momen, director at Capgemini's media and technology division, said: "Baidu maintained weblinks to music files much like the original Napster maintained a central register of MP3 Latest News about MP3 locations for file sharing. "Removing the links makes it harder to find the files, but history shows that the centralized model of peer-to-peer sharing was soon replaced by decentralized and distributed applications such as BitTorrent." Lee Myall, media services director at European telco Interoute, maintained that China's piracy problem needed to be targeted at source. "The best way to limit damage is to stop the content being copied/pirated in the first place," he said. "Step one is at the pre-release stage where content is at its most desirable and likely to spread most virulently." But ironically the music industry may never be profitable in China until it finds a legitimate way of online distribution. "The problem for the music industry in a country such as China is its sheer size, and it is unlikely that any retailer could cover every single region," said Momen. "Until retail outlets/channels of legitimate products are made more universally available and accessible, it may simply be easier to buy an illegal copy." © 2005 VNU Business Online Limited. © 2005 Top Tech News. .: Forum Diskusi Budaya Tionghua dan Sejarah Tiongkok :. .: Kunjungi website global : http://www.budaya-tionghoa.org :. .: Untuk bergabung : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/budaya_tionghua :. .: Jaringan pertemanan Friendster : [EMAIL PROTECTED] :.
