Yahoo! China has not been formally told that it will be sued by the international recording industry. The company told OUT-LAW that it only learned of the case through the press.
The firm also said that it wants to work with labels to create a legal music download service on its site, and that it has not broken any laws.

The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) said this week that it had begun legal proceedings against Yahoo! China for breach of its members’ copyright. Any case will claim that Yahoo! China breaks the law by providing links to sites which contain unlicensed music for download.
But Yahoo! China has not even been told of the case. “We have read the press reports, but have not been informed of any such lawsuit being filed,” Yahoo! China spokesman Bruce Shu told OUT-LAW.
