You fail to mention that in the last few weeks, Baidu is being seriously sued by the official government endorsed Music Copyright Society of China amongst other labels and distributors. And Chinese publications are reporting that some of Baidu’s dubious practises are coming to light with regards to their music search. www.chinadaily.com.cn/... and Forbes also had an article here: www.forbes.com/markets... These are serious questions being asked about how Baidu's music search actually operates and whether it crosses the line as some have suggested that there is the possibility that Baidu could be hosting the music files illegally themselves. If this is the case, then we could very well see a case of fraud emerging. Already, another listed company Focus Media was censured heavily by the authorities because 7 of its subsidiary companies were involved in institutionalized mass mobile spam.
