It's true. The last of them just got 4 years, apparently with the help of a DRAFT email (he didn't even send it?) on Yahoo's server. See:\nhttp://www.thestar.com/nasapp/cs/content...\n\nBut it's not just Yahoo, Google and Microsoft are letting China call the shots, too. See http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/op...\n\nAm I crazy, or is there something wrong with American companies doing this? What kind of example are we giving the world?

No your not crazy my friend. This is a ridiculas situation

It may be related to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_bagger\n\nEssentially I think the point being made is although Baidu is big in one place, it'd need to be 50 times the company to even think about taking on Google as a serious competitor.\n\nRawlyn.

Because the Chinese govt. has opened its country to foreign capitalist business, and if Yahoo wants to do business in China they must play by the rules that the Chinese govt has set even if it means the good guys get caught. But money is money and that is the bottom line.

I am from Michigan and have experienced a lot of the Delphi destruction first hand. I agree that the company is working hard to cover only a couple asses but in the process are screwing A WHOLE LOT of people over. I dont know how long the process of pulling down the company has been going on, surely they knew a good while ago that this current situation was inevitable. Its unbelievable to me that a company can be allowed to ruin the lives of people that had faith in them and spent years planning a future based on what they offered. I cant imagine what I would do if it was me. Some of them will have to start all over in order to keep what they already worked hard for. \nDamn corporate America. God knows myself and others have learned a lesson from all of this, dont count on anyone else to care for your future!

Organisations such as Reporters Without Borders have made that accusation. However, Yahoo has denied it saying it "never releases information to the Chinese Government."

They are doing it with General Motors cars as well. Televisions from RCA (Thompson Electronics), and I am sure thousands of other things America has given them with our outsourcing. Our trade with Communist China is upside down too with the Republican Administration of George Bush. 3% from us to them, and over 20% from them to America. They have broken Americas trade agreement for years now, and Bush wont do anything about it. They are Communists and an enemy to the United States. They are using the extra revenue to extend their military also. It's a bad deal all around. America is going to try to remove the republicans from our Congress in November hopefully.

Considering the amount of money and effort Yahoo! is putting into this huge Answer-a-thon thing (you know, the one with the huge blue brain?), I would imagine that it just might be legit.\n\nAnd if it isn't, you know the Trump is going to sue...

Yahoo has been around almost as long as the net itself.\nThey know what they are doing and run quite well on my end.\n\nI'll guarantee it's your computer ;)

I feel irritated. I find it that today people prefer to be followers than leaders and it is embarrassing to see how such big conglomerates lose all perception of decency just to make money. It is obvious that Yahoo wishes to conquer the China market and for that purpose merged with the Chinese company called Alibaba.com. In that sense, they could not care less about the Chinese people since they are only concerned about being on the right side of the Chinese government. It is ALWAYS about money…. Just look at how Bush calls everyone a terrorist and yet he is ready give the United Arab Emirates control of numerous AMERICAN ports. \nIt is NEVER about the people or democracy or even safety…. it’s about who will receive a monetary benefit from it all.

I think it's absolutely REPREHENSIBLE, and whomever did this at YAHOO should be taken into a dank basement and left their for up to 10 years, without anything but rice, and a BOWL do ones business in which is emptied maybe once a week, then they'll have the SAME conditions that Chinese intellectual prisoners get,it's so BOGUS It makes the BILE rise in my throat. I can't see yahoo doing this, I mean, what would the possible gain be, unless they're so hard up they want a relationship with perhaps the WORST human rights violators since Hitler on the face of this earth..it's unconscionable...seriously, and it REALLY, REALLY makes me sick. I had a great working relationship and friendship with a young person in China, close to my age in his early 30\ns on EBAY selling soccer items. We would talk, exchange ideas, etc. and I was truly worried about his safety after the HORROR stories I've heard about the disgusting oppressive government just coming in the middle of the day and taking someone away, holding a farce of a trial and then proclaiming that "THE LAW HAS WORKED PERFECTLY AGAIN IN CHINA AS THE ACCUSED HAS ADMITTED HIS WRONG DOING" after tons of torture of course, which is NOT limited to the person, it extends to that persons family, and then the government puts the SHAME MACHINE on them, which alienates these souls from their friends, family, neighbours, its horrid, horrifying and I had a chance to visit china and out of principal would NOT do it, they're is NO WAY id go there, as I know my own political views would probably gotten me removed quickly.. that just sits SO wrong with me, so I feel sick now, but to make a long story longer, my friend just stopped emailing one day, and then, I get an email from an account I'd never seen from this guys wife of ONE year, saying they came and got him and he's now in a Chinese prision for 2 years, she coudlnt' speak english and the translation was poor but I got the gist of it and literally wanted to RAMBO the MOTHERFUCKERS who did it,seriously, it wasn't hard to decipher her utter devistation, and it's sickening..they make me sick and if I ever heard of YAHOO doing that, I would NEVER, EVER use them again, EVER..plus, being a news writer for a large paper here in my area, I would definately let as many people know as possible about who did the turning in, and about the Chinese atrocities for things that we wouldn't think twice about. They are watched constantly they cannot talk openly aboout anything, the guy whom I bought items from I had to send the money a special way or his landlord would literally steal it,as he was a government party member, the shite, no that is just so, so wrong it's not EVEN funny, and I hope it wasn't brought up to be funny, because it's actually SICK. So, whoever came up with the question I truly hope you were serious, because your talking about human beings,with families, and lives, and hopes and dreams that could be SNUFFED OUT in ONE second by a heartless, regime hell bent on keeping it's people DOWN, although their public face is completely different if you visit they're you don't see any of the horror, they have people standing all around to keep you from wandering off, etc. So it's all BS, and HORRIBLE HUMAN TREATMENT, and the thought of YAHOO doing that is absolutely REPREHENSIBLE, Yahoo should be a voice and protector of these people, and let them be heard, and heard loudly while protecting their idenity. That's  the Yahoo I would think or hope exsists, and I'd like to know where the information came from about Yahoo or someone associated turning in a chinese person for something they said? It makes no sense.

This is probably the worst thing about China - they totally disregard our patents for things, like you're discussing.\n\nI read somewhere (I think Reader's Digest) that Ford or Chevy released a small truck over in China that sold pretty well.  Its sales nosedived 6 months later when a Chinese company released an EXACT DUPLICATE of the truck for far less in cost (probably because of shoddy manufacturing).  They are so similar, you can exchange doors of the American and Chinese trucks, and they will fit and function properly in either vehicle!\n\nWhy are Chinese companies allowed to totally disregard the patents of American companies?  Can't the U.S. government do something about it?

No. Yahoo has been having a few issues as of late. It happened in a few groups I use that are not political in nature.\nBTW It's Martial Law.

That is the story of pretty much any product that goes out to the public.  Windows is an extremely usefull Operating System.  Sure you have others, but to most of the public they are not as friendly as the windows family has been.  Until someone comes out with a better and more usefull OS than what microsoft has come out with, microsoft will be the only one out there.  If a person designed an OS and wanted to deploy it to the public get a foothold in the OS market and stay there without getting bought up they would have to be private all the way.  That means all the marketing, development, and deployment of this new OS would all have to be funded privately which is a huge cost.  Those costs would be easily dealt with if they made their stock public and shared in the stock market.  At that point microsoft would then consume them like the eternal fire that it is.  This is how Microsoft has managed to maintain it's thrown over the past 10 years or so.  Buy the competition while it's young and use it's resources.  And if Microsoft is planning to buy Google, they probably can do it.  Just use Yahoo!  :)

*sigh* This email has been going around for what, 5 years now? At least. It's as fake now as it was then. \n\nEdit: Actually it looks like 7 years now, in one form or another

from the news briefs I read all that got the subpoena except Google complined.  MSN won't even say whether or not they got one!  Google is the only one going to fight it. Google now has it's own messanger and e-mail service so that might be the best way to go.

I agree!!! Maybe you should bring it up to the founder of YAHOO!!!
