iPad2


Apple faces a 1.88M lawsuit over purportedly illegal ebook downloads for iOS devices, with nine well-known Chinese writers filing a case in Beijing over unofficial copies of their works uploaded to Apple store. The 11.91 million yuan suit describes the situation as "total theft", the People Daily reports, with the authors ire raised by Apple 30-percent cut on paid downloads that means the Cupertino firm is actually profiting from the unofficial versions.


According to the writers, attempts to have Apple abide by Chinese laws for copyright certification have been rebuked, and some of the copied texts have been downloaded several million times. 37 works in particular are named in the case, with authors including Han Han, Li Chengpeng and Murong Xuecun, all well-known in China.

Jailbreak and Rooting


Recall back in July of 2010 the US government ruled that jailbreaking and rooting were not a crime as long as the intention behind them is not circumventing copyright.


An organization called the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) has issued a petition that anyone can sign the idea is to get enough objective opinions in favor of renewing the ruling. The EFF also wants to add tablets to the agreement.


The ruling is set to expire soon and unless renewed, jailbreaking and rooting of smartphones will become illegal once again.
