The Chinese search-giant Baidu has promised to remove in-copyright “literary” works “in three days” from its 18-million item free download-website for ebooks and other texts, Wenku. Although it’s possible that this will only cover the 50 or so Chinese writers with whom Baidu has been in a vociferous dispute, and not western books…
I just checked, and these books (imaged above) have gone. Baidu claims in the press to have removed millions of pirated books.
