Zhang Wei, CEO of
Imaginechina is appealing to other stock agencies, particularly editorial producers, to help stop massive photo copyright infringements by Baidu (Nasdaq BIDU). Imaginechina has recently
won 38 lawsuits against Baidu over photo copyright infringements.
In recent years Baidu has profited significantly from photo infringements in its News Feed service. From its Q2 press release:
Baidu App offer search and personalized news feed reaching 148 million daily active users globally in June 2018. Baidu feed continues strong traffic and monetization momentum. Baidu delivered a solid second quarter with revenues growing 32% year over year to RMB 26.0 billion (4 billion USD) and profit growing 31% to RMB 6.5 billion.
Baidu insisted that its Feed service complies with Chinese law and doesn’t require copyrights for the millions of photos in its APP, but Imaginechina sued Baidu on photo infringements in its APP service and won all 38 cases. Imaginechina has thousands more evidences. Unfortunately court capacity in China is limited and doesn’t practically allow us to sue Baidu in large quantity.
We would like to ask for your support to defend copyrights together. Could you help to join us in fighting against Baidu infringements?
