Tudou.com punished
The Shanghai No 1 Intermediate People's Court has ordered the Website www.tudou.com to give 50,000 yuan to NuCom Online (Beijing) Co Ltd for infringing its copyright of the film Crazy Stone.
The plaintiff said the website had allowed visitors to watch the film online free of charge without NuCom's permission. Tudou.com argued that the film was uploaded by a netizen and it had only provided memory space on the Internet. The court ruled that the website planned with and helped others to infringe the film's copyright.
