Search engine Zhongsou guilty of copyright infringement - May 22, 2008

I just came across this item (via Coolfer) that Zhongsou, one of China's top five internet search engines, has been found guilty of infringing record companies' copyrights by the Copyright Bureau of Hebei province and Cangzhou city. 

Leong Mayseey, Regional Director of IFPI Asia, says: "China has the potential to be one of the most dynamic digital music markets in the world, but legal services cannot compete when household names like Zhongsou deliberately break the law, abuse the rights of others and seek to drive advertising revenue by providing illegal content. We cannot tolerate such abuse of our members' rights and other internet companies that are breaking the law should be warned that we are coming after them next."
