Music Giants Sue Baidu Over Music Downloads

chengee writes "Music giants Universal, EMI, Warner, Sony BMG and their local subsidiaries are suing Chinese search engine Baidu for allegedly infringing the copyright of hundreds of songs, a press report said Friday. Looks like the party is going to be over for Chinese downloaders. But more importantly how will this lawsuit turn out in a place known for its lax copyright laws?"

    Did you know semen has a lot of zinc in it? If you jerk it often, you could easily be zinc-deficient. So if you find youself racking up many Frequent Masturbator Miles, get a jar of peanuts and put it right there beside the Kleenex. That way, when you've had your fill of lesbian action (or tentacle porn, fox cock, whatever floats your boat!) you'll remember to eat a handful of zinc-rich peanuts.

    Who knows, you might even swallow some leftover baby batter with those peanuts - the more zinc, the better!

    The risks of zinc deficiency include: nausea, diarrhea, and yes, even blindness. Spread the word, and help stop zinc deficiency!

    I mean, why not? Everything else is: Hurricanes, wars, drugs, Gore's loss, etc.

    If it's G.W.'s fault that the rest of the world hates us, then what the RIAA and other scumbag agencies do overseas in the 'name of the artist they represent', surely isn't helping much.

    So when I hear that the U.S. is no different than China in this respect, I have to laugh. If China really cared about intellectual property as much as they did about even MENTIONING democracy, those 'reeducation camps' would be way over occupancy by now.

    Yeah, the U.S. and China are practically the same country... Funny though... When was the last time YOU were in a reeducation camp (public schooling aside, of course)?

    Yes I DO think we are different - and you're a fucking idiot if you think otherwise. We have one camp - ONE - filled with the scum of the earth and it has to be where it is because people like you (and your packs of lawyers) would be setting these bastards free once they hit our shores. Free to commit more attocities, more murder in the name of their 'god'.

    The Chinese gov't does far more than just 'censor' - they beat the shit out of THOUSANDS of people and tear them from family and friends into an uncertain future. That, simply for QUESTIONING the gov't. There is NO comparison here unless you're completely unable to see an impartial reality.

    I guess the simple minded on the Left will blame G.W. again - after all, all that blame goes a long way to winning over the hearts and minds of voting Americans everywhere - right?

    I just *KNEW* someone like you would respond this way. Ironically, it will be you and your type that will drag our country down into the same sort straitjacked thinking under the guise of political correctness.

    The guy who posted below you is convinced that we ARE the same country.

    The sad thing is, he is totally representative of the Left now - The kooky Left that is currently running the Democratic party. Reality checked out of the Dems party years ago - all they seem to have now is hate. Hate for G.W., hate for anyone that in any way agrees with him. Hate, hate, hate...

    No, but rape and torture in Guantanmo Bay is okay right?

    Recall McCarthy era, and the old Communist accusations has simply remanifested itself as Terrorist accusations instead.

    Freedom in the US is fiction no doubt about that. (Not saying Canada is much better -> we have our own brand of stupidity here)
