Sina Sues Sohu for Plagiarism
Sina.com, one of China's major Chinese Internet portals, filed a lawsuit accusing its rival of plagiarism and calling for better copyright protection among all Internet businesses in China, Sina officials was quoted by Friday's China Daily as saying.

  The Second Intermediate People's Court of Beijing has accepted the case, Sina lawyer Tong Minyou said.

  Sina accused its rival of unauthorized use of more than 100 short text, image and music messages written, edited or designed by Sina's staff.

  Sina is demanding that Sohu pay 300,000 yuan in compensation and apologize for its behavior on Sohu's website.

  Sohu defended itself in a written statement, calling the accusations "groundless" and "ridiculous". It said its short messages came from its own employees, users and partners and was not plagiarized.
