Chinabyte, Yesky in Copyright Dispute
Chinabyte, a top Chinese IT portal created by the People's Daily and Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, has sued another mainland IT portal, Yesky, for copyright infringement.
This case is the first since China enacted new regulations to control news from domestic Internet content providers (ICPs). According to the new regulations, portals are only allowed to disseminate news from domestic media sources pursuant to a signed agreement with that source.
Chinabyte accused Yesky, which claims to be the largest Chinese IT portal in the world, of copying and disseminating content, including news and product information, and is demanding a public apology and 100,000 Renminbi (RMB) in compensation.
The two portals attempted to negotiate an out of court solution to the dispute, but failed to come to an agreement.
