Baidu Cloud Mall was launched yesterday
October 31 - According to reports, Baidu Cloud launched the Cloud Mall (yun.baidu.com/mall) service yesterday, allowing users to trade various electronic files such as videos, documents, images, and music within the cloud mall. However, due to concerns over copyright issues, the service was taken offline in less than 24 hours after its launch.
Starting yesterday, the Cloud Mall appeared as a functional section in the Baidu Cloud toolbar. Through the Baidu Cloud trading platform and related services, users can post trading information, search for product and service information, reach trading intentions, conduct transactions, and evaluate other users. All transactions conducted within the Baidu Cloud Mall are paid for and settled through Bai Fu Bao (Baidu Wallet), which is under the Baidu group.
The free trading of network content resources through the Cloud Mall has sparked discussions in the industry. Many comments suggest that this model is highly susceptible to sensitive copyright issues. In response, Baidu's official statement indicated that if users are found to have engaged in fraud or infringement, the Baidu Cloud trading platform may take punitive measures by canceling the user's account.
This evening, Baidu issued an announcement declaring that the Cloud Mall service would be temporarily removed from the shelves to further improve the product, while all completed transactions will remain valid. (Chuck)
