Baidupedia is an issue since it came to live. We
have tried many times to contact them for this issue.
It is not an issue of the individuals, but indeed a foundation issue, because Baidupedia
is in a very big scope copyviolating and they don't care, and not only zh-wp is a
victim of them.
It is an issue of the individuals, because they are the ones whose
rights have been breached.
Indeed. That is one of the big failings of our current licensing
scheme. Any one individual's contributions may not be worth the bother
of a copyright infringement suit, which is always more difficult for the
plaintiff since he has the burden of proof. When articles have multiple
authors the defendant can probably pick the claim apart by pointing out
that particular sentences were written by persons other than the plaintiff.
Having the licence include an appointment of WMF as a non-exclusive
agent for the purpose of prosecuting violations could give WMF standing
to go after the most egregious violators.
