With the hemophilia post bar as an instance, this post bar is constructed in the space of Baidu Post Bar, a network product developed by Baidu, and, superficially, Baidu enjoys the ownership and management over this bar. However, from another perspective, though the product of Baidu Post Bar is developed by Baidu, the details of the post bar including the name and content are all constructed by post bar users. After the foundation of the post bar, the bar managers including Mayicai had made painstaking efforts to maintain and develop the post bar. They spent a lot of time viewing the information in the bar, sorting out the complex information, topping the high-quality information and deleting the fraudulent or false information, and also regularly released the information to answer the questions proposed by bar members. Therefore, the high-quality post bars such as the hemophilia post bar can only become the famous cyberspace based on the questions and answers proposed by numerous bar members and the management and maintenance by countless bar managers. In this case, the space value of the post bar is constantly rising due to the strong ability to produce information, the large number of users and the high reputation. In the whole process, Baidu only renders the background technical support, supervision and construction of users’ access, and so on, but the most work of space construction is completed by post bar users. Therefore, when unilaterally deciding on the paid transfer of the hemophilia post bar, Baidu met with fierce opposition by the bar managers and bar members and provoked a wrath.

Though the incident of “the sale of Baidu hemophilia post bar” ended up with Baidu terminating the commercialization of all disease-themed post bars, we shall not stop thinking deeply about the issue of space ownership. The attention from all sectors of society shall be drawn to find out an appropriate solution.
