EMI is to provide its complete catalogue of local recordings free of charge in China, under a deal with Chinese web search leader Baidu.

The new agreement represents a remarkable about-face for the two companies, which have been locked in a legal struggle over alleged music piracy connected to Baidu's music file search services.

Baidu will now add a new 'EMI Music Zone' to its music and MP3 search pages, allowing visitors to listen to any track from any of EMI's Chinese language artists free of charge.
