Claiming that Apple has infringed a total of 37 separate copyrighted works, it was sued by a group of Chinese authors. These authors also happen to be a part of China Written Works Copyright Society (CWWCS).
Eminent blogger and critic Han Han, controversial author Li Chengpeng and prominent writers Cang Yue and Murong Xuecun are the four authors who have sued Apple for a massive USD $1.9 Million over copyright infringement. The lawsuit has already been filed at Beijing’s No.2 Intermediate People’s Court and the case is currently at formal proceeding stage. The authors have taken a strong stance against Apple, for providing books and other reading material through App Store without giving due credit to authors. Some of these books become instant success on App Store, the author loses more and more money with every download. To many peoples surprise, the lawsuit also claims that Apple stores illegal contents on their App Store.
“Apple pockets 30 percent of all profits stemming from the sale of digital books, both legal and illegal, in its online store. Most consumers are unaware that the books they are purchasing from the Apple Store are pirated.“, reads the report.
