This is from the O'Reilly Radar Blog. Apparently Yahoo was just found guilty of copyright infringement. The Yahoo search engine provided search results that allowed
user to illegally download copyrighted material. Baidu, the website that hosted the illegal material, was not found guilty. This is obviously more a political move than anything since "almost 70 percent of U.S. Customs seizures of pirated goods are traced back to China." Companies like Microsoft have been battling piracy in China (without much help from the Chinese government) for years. It will be interesting to see what develops from this.
