BAIDU. COM Inc has stopped providing free music download links on its Website as a compromise to music publishers, which sued the biggest Chinese online search engine firm over the issue.
Instead, a wanting message has appeared on the Beijing-based company’s Website before users start to download music or songs through Baidu’s MP3 search service. "The search result (of songs) has been made automatically and Baidu itself doesn’t make and transfer music, "the message said. "We pay close attention to protecting intellectual property rights. If any authors or copyright owners find the links are pirated songs, please let us know."
Before that, Baidu’s users could download songs directly on its MP3 search result lists.
The share price of Baidu, which went public in August, surged more than fourfold in its first trading day on Nasdaq.
More titan one-third of Baidu’s online traffic came from its MP3 search service,according to the company’s file.
The Warner Music Group Corp, EMI Group and other music companies filed lawsuits against Baidu in the Beijing People’s Intermediate Court, seeking to stop it from offering the service. Several days later, Sony BMG Music Entertainment, became the last member. At the end of October, that is, just less than a half month after the lawsuits, Baidu was forced to make that compromise.
In August, Shanghai Busheng Music Culture Media Co accused Baidu of allowing unauthorized downloads of 53 songs the company owns the copyright to without permission. Busheng is asking Baidu for 560,000 yuan (US $69,104) in compensation for damages.
选项
A、Warner Music Group Corp.
B、EMI Group.
C、Sony BMG.
D、Shanghai Busheng Music Culture Media Co.
答案
D
解析
文中最后两段的时间顺序实际上是反向的,如果听清楚几个关键词,Several days later...,At the end of October...,less than a half month after the lawsuits...,可以推断前三个公司大约在10月顶多9月份提起的诉讼,而上海的布森公司在8月份就提出了。
