Baidu Plans Anti-Piracy Steps for Online Library

Chinese online-search provider Baidu said it plans to start using new copyright-recognition technology on its online document-sharing platform in May to prevent sharing of pirated content. The move addresses concerns about Baidu's approach to copyright issues. The company has been at odds with the music industry for years over an MP3 search service that includes links to unlicensed copies of songs available for free download.
