Abstract
The article compares the different outcomes of two Chinese ISP copyright liability cases, i.e. IFPI v. Yahoo and IFPI v. Baidu, both of which were filed by the same plaintiff (IFPI) against similar types of defendants (internet service providers) decided by the same court (Beijing High Court) but leading to different outcomes, where Yahoo was found liable for copyright infringement while Baidu was not. By analyzing the opinions of the two cases, the author makes suggestions as to what might have caused the different outcomes.
