Shark fins? Music piracy? Get a grip guys. . .

For perspective from the ground level in China, before we all get carried away with just the mere numbers, it is important to note that at the same time Yahoo makes part of its revenues in China via music piracy. And they couldn't even do that properly as they've been found guilty as hell by a Chinese court. If credit is to be accorded to Jerry Yang for brokering the China deal - and as Yahoo is obviously benefiting from it financially - he is also complicit in benefiting from music piracy on the side also. Sadly, this seems to be how the business model works: US investment money funds a lot of the piracy in China, US investors make a killing, and then the US government goes after China in the WTO kangaroo court. And since Yahoo Music's Ian Rogers has already laid out his expected moral standards in his famous blog piece, it is time for him examine his own house a little more and clear some of the existing duplicity [Before anyone cleverly points out that the Alibaba IPO does not include the Yahoo China part, it was still the same deal that brought Yahoo in in the first place]</p> China Syndrome indeed!
