Chinese Writers Sue Apple Over IP Violations

Posted by samzenpus on Sunday March 18, 2012 @10:55AM from the gentlemen-start-your-litigation dept.

hackingbear writes "A group of 22 Chinese authors have filed a claim against Apple, alleging its App Store sells unlicensed copies of their books. The Writers Rights Alliance, founded by Han Han, a young popular Chinese author and the worlds' most popular blogger, who is known for his cynical criticism of the government, petitioned Apple last year to stop electronic distribution of the writers' books and had earlier persuaded Baidu, China's largest search engine, to stop publishing their material on its Baidu Library product."

And you don't see anything ironic about a Chinese person complaining about piracy? Seriously?

Nope. Not when it comes to ripping off the Chinese who happily rip everyone else off.
Sorry, it won't matter what your reply is I have zero sympathy for these people.
