Goodbye Gougou.com

Gougou.com was one of China's pirate content search engines. Until it closed down. Before it closed down it was blacklisted by the US for carrying a lot of pirate content. The funny thing is... Xunlei (Chinese Web Firm) who wanted the search engine to be listed in US stock exchange, but that didn't happen because of last year due to piracy concerns.

So this could be attempt to float bids on the US stock exchange again but no one knows for sure. Gougou.com is in a list of major copyright offenders from the US Trade Representatives. The US Trade Representatives said ''This Chinese-based site facilitates the downloading and distribution of pirated music and movies, not only through deep-linking services, but also by offering cyberlocker facilities and through its own innovative high-speed P2P (peer-to-peer) file-sharing system''

''Gougou.com has been closed down. Thank you all you for all your support, and we are sorry for any inconvenience''
