The leading Chinese search engine Baidu will be launching a new music download service called Ting. The new legal music download store is expected to launch later this month, according to a company spokeswoman. Baidu has been a frequent target of criticism by major record labels for its search engine that provides "deep links" to unauthorized MP3s hosted on third-party sites.

The labels even launched a copyright infringement case against the company over its MP3 search service, which they lost in 2008. Record label trade group IFPI was also unsuccessful in suing Baidu back in 2005. Even the US Trade Representative labeled Baidu a "notorious market" for pirated works, but the company hopes that the new legal service will put this criticism to rest. Baidu also announced a deal last month to begin paying songwriters for tracks that were downloaded via its search service, but this deal left the record labels out in the cold.

According to NPD's VideoWatch Digital Tracking service, iTunes is not leading the market in the digital video space and claims. Despite the fact that customers believe iTunes has the most "current releases available", they're turning to Netflix for media, a service that accounts for 61 percent of all downloading and streaming based on NPD's findings.
But according to Piper Jaffray's Teen Survey, iTunes has made significant gains. Apple's iTunes Store remain the dominant online music store in the teen market. 97% of students who said they purchase music online said they use iTunes, up from 93% in the previous survey. Overall the percentage of students saying they download music online rose modestly, from 80% to 82%, and the ratio of students saying they use P2P file sharing over purchasing tracks remained the same.
