IT领袖峰会上李彦宏[1]所称"百度文库[2]与作家共赢的模式"初现雏形:今日百度文库正式推出版权合作平台,通过付费分成、广告分成两种模式为版权方[3]提供收益。

该平台页面上详细介绍了百度文库关于付费分成、广告分成的两种合作模式:付费分成模式允许用户[4]免费阅读作品的部分章节,若读者希望阅读全文或下载,则需要支付一定的费用。百度表示会将收益的大部分将划拨给版权方。广告付费模式允许读者免费阅读整部作品,百度会在作品页面设置相应的广告内容,获取相关收益。该模式下,版权方的收益与作品关注度成正比,作品浏览量越高,版权方收益就越高。

除了营收渠道,百度文库还将为版权方提供一些宣传资源:百度文库将会在文档分享页面、文库书店页面对正版图书进行推荐;在百度搜索结果页[5]增加正版内容展示;在文库搜索结果页明显位置对正版作品进行特型展示。

3月15日,韩寒[6]、郭敬明[7]、贾平凹[8]等50位作家发出联合声明,指百度侵权。3月24日,作家代表宣布与百度谈判破裂,称其毫无诚意,将寻求司法[9]途径解决此次纠纷;3月28日,2011中国深圳IT领袖峰会上,李彦宏公开表态:百度文库管不好就关掉。对于 "百度何时付费"的问题,李彦宏仅称将与作家探讨共赢的模式。

"Baidu Wenku and authors win-win model", referred to in an IT leaders' summit meeting by Li Yanhong has already appeared it its embryo form: Today, Baidu Wenku formally presented a platform for copyright collaboration, providing profit to copyright holders through to two forms of users' fees portion and advertisement revenues portion.

The page layout for this platform presents in detail the collaboration model of Baidu Wenku and the fees revenue division and advertisements revenue division: 'Fees revenues portion model' allows users to read parts of literature works' chapters free-of-charge, and if readers wish to read to entire text or download it they should pay a specified cost. Baidu indicates that they will transfer a major portion of this profit to the copyright holders. The 'advertisements revenues model' allows readers to read complete works free-of-charge, yet Baidu would install relevant advertisement content within the texts of these works, gaining relevant profit. In this model, the profit of copyright holders are in direct ratio with the interest readers have in their works; the more their works are browsed through, the higher the copyright holders' profit will get.

Except for the revenue channel, Baidu Wenku shall also provide some propagation resources for copyright holders: Baidu Wenku will share page layouts on their literature pages, and the text page of the Wenku bookstore will carry out recommendations of legal (original) books; on the search results page of Baidu the content exhibiting legal books will be increased; a special type of exhibition of legal literature works will be carried out in clear (eye-catching) locations on the search results page of Wenku.

On March 15th, Han Han, Guo Jingming, Jia Pingwa and 50 other authors have issued a joint statement, pointing out at the violation conducted by Baidu. On March 24th, the authors representative declared that the negotiations with Baidu had broke and said that they (Baidu) are completely insincere and that he will seek a justice channel to settle this dispute. On March 28th, in Shenzhen's IT leaders' summit meeting, Li Yanhong publically declared that the bad management by Baidu Wenku had been stopped. Concerning the question 'when will Baidu pay revenues', Li Yanhong has only referred to the 'win-win' model explored.
