Leading Chinese internet search company
baidu.com is to appeal
against a Beijing court ruling requiring it to pay compensation to a unit of
EMI over downloads of
pirated pop music, according to a report in the Financial Times.
Baidu's legal counsel said that the court ruling was based on a "
misunderstanding of the search engine technology" used by the company in its MP3
search service.
Last week the court ordered Baidu to stop giving users access to pirated
songs belonging to Shanghai Push, an affiliate of the EMI record label.
Around 20 per cent of Baidu's traffic is based on searches for MP3 files. The
legal wrangle increases focus on the debate concerning the liability of search
services in cases of illegal downloading.
