Two men jailed for selling pirated e-books without author's authorization. Shanghai Jinshan District People's Court recently concluded a criminal case involving the use of information networks to infringe copyright in accordance with the law.
Zhou Guangwang is a third-level judge of the Civil Tribunal of Jinsan District People’s Court. Defendants Liu and Zhang voluntarily return their illegal gains and may be given a lighter punishment as appropriate, he says. The problem of e-book piracy and infringement destroys the good ecological environment of publishing and brings problems to the industry.
