Recently the Mainichi News reported the following:

１Ｑ８４：中国サイトでは日本語でも閲覧
　作家村上春樹さんのベストセラー「１Ｑ８４」などの小説が、検索会社「バイドゥ」が運営する「ライブラリ」というサービスで一時、日本語で自由に閲覧できる状態になっていたことが９日、分かった。
　バイドゥライブラリは利用者が文書を投稿できるサービス。閲覧可能になっていた「１Ｑ８４」は日本語版で、ＢＯＯＫ１、２の２冊分。同日アップロードされたが、版元の新潮社から連絡を受け、バイドゥが削除した。

　バイドゥ側は「投稿された文書に著作権を侵害する恐れがないか、コンピューターで自動的にフィルタリングをかけているが、今回は漏れてしまったようだ。権利者からの申請があれば、削除に応じたい」としている。

1Q84 in Japanese is available for viewing in a Chinese site.
On the 9th it was understood that for one brief moment it was able to read the novel such as Haruki Murakami's best-sellers "1Q84" in Japanese freely in the so called "Library" service that was managed by the retrieval company "Baidou".
Baidou Library service allowed users to contribute documents. The "1Q84" that was available for reading was a Japanese version, in two books as BOOK1 and 2. After receiving a report from the publisher Shincho company, Baidou deleted it although it was up-loaded on the same day.

As far as Baidou was concerned, its action was that ｢There is no worry that the contributed documents have violated copyright, there is some automatic filtering in the computer, although it seems that this time it has fallen through. If copy right holders request, we will respond by deleting it ｣.

It is an interesting incident. For a brief moment, readers in China can read some new Japanese books free of charge through the Internet.
