Baidu MP3 search was obtained to block Internet users will be lost free Wizard

With the record companies sued Baidu was constantly upgraded, MP3 search problems right now to go into a lot of media attention hotspots. In the face of the media, after losing on this subject Baidu is still holding has been unequivocal in the State; and the copyright regulations make the silence; record company is an add-in a representation to the search companies confront in court; and some critics have accused the search engine in copyright on committed "seven sins". All the signs seem to presage MP3 free search of the lost, cancelled all netizens free meals seem to become a trend.

Losing no accident

Baidu's judgment and not surprising, because based on May 30, the national copyright administration, Ministry of information industry, jointly developed by the Internet copyright administrative protection measures ", to the Internet, without the permission of the copyright owner to use works in this way, are infringement, including the musical work. Rights holders have the right to claim, the judiciary and the Executive branch can site infringement and the nature and extent of the law, respectively. However, there are no specific penalty provisions. However, as we all know that the Internet is because it has various convenient and mass of free information and application to become a focus of people sought after. And all kinds of digital copyright owners who have to enjoy the most extensive popularity spread pleasure, or even take this gets huge gains.

Block throws a step backwards?

Network renowned critic Fang xingdong recently in an interview with reporters, said that search the Web if stop MP3 search is a step backwards, is a kind of disregard for the interests of millions of Internet users in China. Baidu, Sohu, NetEase search, Yahoo, the responsible person is sure that does not stop with MP3 and other any search business.

Last week the Chinese search COO Chen Bo interview, even more clear-cut that shuts down the MP3 will cause the Internet require large retrogressive, search engine companies to verify copyright more disastrous consequences, the oath is seized MP3 search through to the end. The record company to the search results there is no copyright MP3 link will search engine companies on the dock, please clearly unreasonable. Search engine aims to facilitate Internet users in the Internet astronomical information, find their own needs, and in this process, as much as they can provide links to information needed Internet users. As a search tool, search engines should not and may assume the obligation to verify the copyright. In addition, data are not vast website may let the search engine companies time to verify the provided links are copyrighted, if search engine you want to verify that each search result, then the copyright to the legality and found in, for example, your own search engine for 9 million Chinese Web pages need 400 people per minute for a Web page speed at 1600 days. If the record companies that lend potential off the Chinese search engine company's MP3 search, a domino effect, all with links and search-related Internet services will usher in a block nightmare, Internet will face a big step backwards.

Search is not a robber

In a press interview preceding 5 websites for copyright issues subject Baidu does not want to stand aside, the other a few basic view is the search engine is a search engine, free download is free to download, the two are related, the true defendant should not be a search engine.

Some industry insiders that MP3 search is a search engine specialized, and news search, image search, search, and other specialized search BBS, is because the search purposes and the sort method of the unique and separate from the Web search out a subset of search engine. It has both a search engine's common technology, and know-how related to the MP3 and Internet audio information is an important tool in the search. Web search and other specialized search, the search engine in a MP3 file of a Web page through computer algorithms to analyze possible and it-related content, allowing users to find this page keywords. It is the provision of Internet services is a technology that provides massive information platform. Although the free download are generally based on the search, the search engine does not mean that the free download.

Quartet game win best

For the management of the enterprise search engine as a free download of the tort "pay" in this issue, Chen thinks, MP3 cases is a process of Quartet game, namely: the recording side, search engine, provided no copyright music site owners, Internet users. In the middle of the Quartet game process, we support copyright holder's legitimate interests, but must also be respected Internet users and search engines. Record companies because there is no way to go to prosecute one huge number of provided no copyright music Web site, and instead will gun search engine, this result is MP3 search will be banned from the Internet can't use search to download music, record companies will therefore lose a large number of customers. Ironically, the real rogues, provided no copyright music website is live. Since the fight and eliminate the problem cannot be resolved, game parties should be based on cooperation and development, and really concentrate on the development of the industry. Record companies can cooperate with search engines, take this publicity, promotion, promoting genuine music. This area has many cooperation possible, but the premise must be a win-win situation.
