Baidu's CFO was almost certainly assassinated or set up. He probably angered some government official by forgetting to pay his bribes. Yahoo China lost its copyright case, yet Baidu wins...I wonder why? Either someone paid a hefty bribe, or they're just favoring Chinese companies. The country is completely messed up.

Baidu good, RIAA bad Google and Yahoo are missing out on the crucially important feature for customers, namely an easy way to steal music. The courts decide it's OK to steal music in China and TechCrunch perceives that as a positive. (Probably more than enough to compensate for the stock price drop resulted by the CFO's death.)

From Yahoo's previous loss to a similar court case and this win from Baidu, I get a sense that the Chinese government is favoring one side in the search engine arena. If Google starts copying Baidu's idea, then Google may be getting the same treatment as Yahoo did. I don't recall there is the ability to reference to the previous court cases in Chinese law system as we have here in USA. @Bill, I think there is another side of the story.
