Beijing - A Chinese court has agreed to hear two
multi-million dollar copyright infringement claims brought by major record
labels against Chinese search engine Baidu, and Web portal Sohu and its Sogou
media search engine, according to the International Federation of the Phonographic
Industry (IFPI). The Beijing Intermediate People's Court will hear a $9 million
claim against Baidu brought by Universal Music Group, Sony (NYSE: SNE) BMG and Warner
Music (NYSE: WMG), who will argue that the search engine aids copyright infringement by
providing "deep links" to unauthorized downloads on third-party
sites.
