Music Industry Tells Advertisers to Boycott "Pirate" Baidu

Posted by timothy on from the takes-one-to-know-one dept.

An anonymous reader points to a story at PC Authority, which begins: "Music industry representatives have warned advertisers to stop supporting Baidu, China's largest search engine, because they believe it is encouraging music piracy. Baidu is the largest source of pirated music in China, according to the representatives, who describe the company as 'incorrigible.' The Chinese firm's music search engine is accessed through what is described as a prominent link on the company's home page."

    Someday I'm gonna be a famous composer - I've been studying piano intensively for quite some time now, with the aim of going to music school to study composition.

    I want to write symphonies someday!

    I've been a coder for twenty years. I have grown weary of it.
