This company is no small fry; it's Yidong, which just completed the acquisition of equity in 21 provinces across China and is preparing to launch its music ringtone service.
As a state-owned enterprise, Yidong has a high level of awareness and understands the importance of copyright.
However, pirated MP3s are now starting to emerge, and if this is not curbed, the era of rampant digital piracy will soon arrive.
"The most hateful thing is Baidu MP3!"
At this moment, everyone in the company gathered in the conference room. Xu Dajiang said angrily, "They launched an MP3 search function, allowing free listening and downloading of songs, completely disregarding copyright!"
Shen Nansheng glanced at the French girl waiting outside, then his gaze fell on the Baidu webpage displayed on the projector. He slowly said, "Second brother, isn't this copyright infringement? Can we sue them?"
Chu Yang said slowly, "It's possible, but very difficult."
Before anyone else could speak, he added, "But it will be even more difficult in the future, so we must nip it in the bud!"

The achievements made by relying on pirated MP3s were not honorable. The seven major record companies realized this too late and filed a joint lawsuit for several years without any results.
But what's the use? They've already reached the top of the industry.
When faced with the lawsuit, Baidu argued that "we only provide search technology, not content," leaving the seven major record companies with no way to proceed.
This is the same point of contention as when Kuaibo was sued, except that Kuaibo ended up in jail, while Baidu thrives.
Of course, in terms of its nature, Kuaibo's situation was much more serious.
Baidu's music search is still in its infancy, and Chu Yang has actually wanted to make changes to it for a long time.
Now that KuCat Music has launched and holds the most record copyrights in China, it's the perfect time to make changes!
