Baidu Being Pirated By 200So.Com

Baidu has been pirated by a site called 200so.com. Does it look really similar to Baidu?

    200so.com - a Baidu copycat

For those who need to be reminded how the real Baidu looks like, this is the home page,

    Baidu.com Home

On top of that, I ran a few search queries on 200so.com and its search results are identical to Baidu’s search results. Also on 200so.com’s homepage there is a link that says ‘About Baidu’, but when you click on it, it redirects back to this 200so.com home page instead of the real Baidu.

For those who do not know, Baidu means ‘Hundred-degrees’ in Chinese. 200so.com’s Chinese name in pinyin coincidentally just happens to be Bai-du as well, though in Chinese characters it actually means ‘White-degrees’.
