The EMI Group, which lost a copyright infringement lawsuit against Baidu.com, a Chinese Internet search site, will drop its appeal of the case and work with the company to win advertising by offering free online samples of its music. Baidu, based in Beijing, will sell online ads for a section of its Web site featuring streaming samples of EMI’s Chinese-language music, the company said. EMI and Baidu will share the ad revenue, they said, without providing details. EMI is planning to drop out of an infringement lawsuit brought against Baidu by record companies on claims the Web site violated copyright by offering links to illegally copied music on nonaffiliated sites.

The manager of Gutshot, a private poker club in London, was convicted of violating Britain’s gambling laws after a jury of 12 decided that poker was a game of chance, not pure skill. The manager, Derek Kelly, had argued that he did not need a gambling license because the laws cover games of chance like roulette and blackjack and not skill-based games like chess, or, he said, poker. Prosecutors argued that shuffling a deck of cards was enough to make poker a game of both chance and skill, which falls under the government’s interpretation of “chance.” During the weeklong trial, Mr. Kelly’s competitors, reporters and men who described themselves only as “interested parties” jockeyed for a seat at the East London courthouse to hear expert players discuss the skills needed to play games like Texas Hold ’Em.

German investor confidence rose more than forecast, reaching a six-month high in January, despite a higher sales tax and a slowdown in export markets. The index of investor and analyst expectations for economic growth in six months, compiled by the ZEW Center for European Economic Research, rose to minus 3.6 from minus 19 in December. The report adds to signs that cooling growth in the German economy may be limited even after the country raised the value-added tax, a sales tax, to 19 percent from 16 percent. The confidence indicator has shown a negative reading, with pessimists outnumbering optimists, in every month since August.
