The Financial Times reports:
A Beijing company has been found guilty of offering unapproved digital versions of eight books written by one of the country’s leading experts on intellectual property rights in what appears to be an extreme example of Chinese online copyright abuse.
Seven of the volumes allegedly made available on the internet by Beijing Scholar Digital Technology were about issues directly relating to piracy, including one entitled Knowing the Enemy and Yourself; Winning the Intellectual Property War.
The fight against Chinese piracy is far from won but a Beijing court has ordered Scholar Digital to pay RMB56,500 ($6,826) in compensation to Professor Zheng Chengsi, author, editor and expert on intellectual property rights at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
