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.

Just a weird question maybe, but has it been tried to just write them a letter and ask to remove the content? Please note that WMF is nto the author of the content, and does not own the content. individual authors such as yourself could of course. Therefore i doubt she could enforce the GFDL requirements. Or are you suggestion rather press/pr action?

Hi,
We Chinese Wikipedians are now collecting Baidupedia articles which were copied from Chinese Wikipedia.
http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:%E7%99%BE%E5%BA%A6%E7%99%BE%E7%A7%91%...
You may click the link above to see how many they are. (We put "Featured articles", "Good articles", "DYK and other general articles" in groups.) Baidupedia users not only copied from zh.wp, but also from ja.wp and
en.wp.
I think we could now do the evidence collection works first, and I hope
the
list could be useful if one day the WMF takes some action to Baidu.
