Google Books Project Draws Fire In China
High Tech - Computer - Software- Internet China 11/03/2009
A China copyright group Wednesday accused Internet giant Google of scanning Chinese books for its online library without authorisation, in the latest criticism hurled at the controversial project, reported AFP.

The China Written Works Copyright Society told AFP its data showed at least 17,922 books had been scanned and included in Google Books, the Internet giant's project to digitise millions of books and post them online.

"Google has violated a widely-accepted international copyright rule that any scanning, collecting and using of protected works should obtain permission and pay a fee before usage," society deputy general-director Zhang Hongbo told AFP.

The society is a body tasked by China's government with collecting information on copyrights involving written material.

Zhang said the books involved the works of at least 570 Chinese writers and new complaints from writers and publishers were coming in every day.

"None of the writers we contacted said he or she received any notice from Google for the usage of their works," Zhang said, adding they had not been paid either.

Zhang said his group would ask Google to acknowledge the infringement of Chinese copyrights and seek a negotiated solution, but he did not rule out a lawsuit.

David WeiAlibaba.com, the World抯 Biggest Online Marketplace

If you accidentally drop by a speech by David Wei, CEO of Alibaba.com, at a networking event organized by the CCIFC near the Chinese New Year, and you don’t know who David is, very likely you will guess the well-groomed guy promoting Alibaba in perfect English and with great diplomacy must be the media director of the E-commerce giant. Like the Group’s chairman & CEO Jack Ma, David Wei knows intuitively how to take advantage of media and publicity to popularize their company and ideas. But different from Jack Ma’s unassuming manner, passion and sheer personal charisma which embodies China’s entrepreneurs, an air of sleekness, caution and well-educated gentlemanship -- traits of many western professional managers -- envelops David Wei, who was born in Shanghai, received education from London Business School, and once an investment banker. The article below is largely based on what David talked that night at the CCIFC party and what we learned from online sources about Alibaba.
