Writers League v. Apple's success

Writers League v. Apple's success On the 27th of this month, the writer's rights protection alliance sued Apple's infringement case. The Beijing No. 2 Intermediate People’s Court ruled that Apple’s infringement was established and it was necessary to compensate 41 artists such as Murong Xuecun for 412,000 yuan and litigation expenses of 18,000 yuan. This is the second time that the Writers Union has won a similar infringement case after it sued Baidu and other writers. In this case, Han Han is not among the prosecutors. According to Wang Guohua, an attorney of the Writers' Rights Protection Alliance, the case of Han Han and others is unknown when there is a result.

Murong Snow Village received only 7,000 yuan compensation

The court ruled that: "Apple's appstore web service platform commercially filters and distributes applications uploaded by third-party developers, and acquires objective direct economic benefits through the fee-based download service, so it provides downloads for the appstore web service platform. The application program should bear a high degree of duty of care. In this case, Apple did not properly perform its duty of care, so it should bear corresponding legal responsibility for the infringement of the application involved in the case."

The court made separate compensation decisions against the infringing writers. Apple Inc. was required to compensate Hao Qun (Mu Rong Xuecun) for economic losses of 7,000 yuan, Han Lulian (Hema) for 180,000 yuan, Kong Xiangzhao (Kong Ergou) for 80,000 yuan, and Li Chengpeng for 10,000 yuan. Yuan and Wang Yang (沧月) 100,000 yuan.

Whether to continue the appeal has not been determined

“Although the court found that the infringement was established, the amount of compensation was much less than we had imagined.” Wang Guohua told the Southern Reporter: “The court’s verdict is mainly based on the difficulty of creation, market value, and Apple’s specific behavior and number of infringing words. The scope and extent of infringement, etc. And there is a key point here is how much Apple's profits in selling infringing software in the appstore. And this data is difficult for us to determine."

Wang Guohua said that he must go back and negotiate with the parties before deciding whether to continue the appeal.
