Baidu to Adopt Anti-Piracy Platform
China’s largest search engine announced Thursday that it will begin using new anti-piracy tools in May. This comes in response to long standing criticism of Baidu. Many authors and publishers believe it has been lax in removing pirated content from its online library Baidu Wenku.
