3m yuan copyright compensation
Print Edition
A LITERATURE website has been ordered by a Shanghai court to pay 3 million yuan (US$482,377) compensation for copyright infringement of a popular online novel.
This is the highest amount the Shanghai No. 2 Intermediate People’s Court has imposed for infringement of a literary work’s copyright.
The Shanghai Xuanting Entertainment Information Technology, operator of www.qidian.com literature website, had sued the Beijing Fantasy Zongheng Network Technology.
It accused Zongheng of publishing the novel “Immorality” on its literary website www.zongheng.com without authorization.
Xuanting had signed copyright agreements in January 2010 with Wang Zhong, the novel’s writer.
China’s copyright law set an upper limit for compensation in such cases at 500,000 yuan. The court imposed a higher fine on the grounds that Zongheng earned more from the novel.
An earlier case had ruled in favor of Qidian, but Zongheng had continued to publish the novel on its website.
