    Yup, saw this on NBC nightly news. Google may be totally shutting down and pulling out of China.

    Supposedly this stems from China (or someone in China) hacking into Google and getting information on dissidents.

    Google paid a massive price to get into the Chinese internet several years ago.

    Baidu still is the reigning search king.

    You should know that the two sides are really in a tug of war, if you have also read this:

    Google Apologizes to Chinese Authors

    IRONICALLY, Google is accused of copyright infringement.
    Profoundly influenced by #Bauhaus, @Nameslave unrepentantly embraces #Minimalism in his #multimedia portfolio. His early works include an experimental adaptation of Chekhov’s Cherry Orchard inspired at least partly by Robert Fripp. His totally irrelevant M.Ed. dissertation examines Organizational Culture and Change Management.

    Great read. This is expected sooner or later. There will be leaks, and when enough leaks gather, the hole enlarges and the kingdom falls apart.

    The Chinese writers issue...

    It is not just the Chinese that are affected by this google practice. For years Google has been scanning and digitizing everything it can get its hands on - copyrighted and non-copryrighted works. I was even able to find a newly published edition of a textbook costing nearly $165 on google's scholar site for free, all pages. While it claims it will not allow you to view all pages - well, you just have to start a new session where you left off.

    Google figures its been doing it to everyone everywhere so why not China.

    All of this stinks for those that do have rights to material.

    This is (in part) why Murdoch and company(ies) are trying to block Google from indexing their stories. That seems to be a more difficult issue to halt rather than Google stopping their Scholar project. The point is, copyrighted material is copyrighted material in any form.

    As for China, Baidu reigns and will reign.
