The Beijing No. 2 Intermediate People's Court ruled Thursday that Apple violated the writers' copyrights by allowing applications containing their work to be distributed through its App Store, according to an official who answered the phone at the court and said he was the judge in the case. Unlicensed copying of books, music, software and other products is widespread in China despite repeated government promises to stamp out violations. Apple's agreement with application developers requires them to confirm they have obtained rights to material distributed through the company's App Store. Reported by SFGate 7 minutes ago.
