Chinese authorities accused Google of violating copyright
giant Google is facing accusations that its employees illegally and without permission, have been scanned texts of Chinese authors have included them in its digital library, reports said Wednesday the local English newspaper China Daily.
"The violation of the rights of Chinese authors in the hands of Google is very serious," said Zhang Hongbo, vice president of the League of Rights Author of the Written Works of China (CWWCS, an acronym in English), the only administration China dedicated to this type of copyright.
Chinese government departments, such as the National Copyright, lobby the U.S. government to handle the case appropriately, bearing in mind that Google is a major player in the online world, and has acted so arbitrarily in this matter, Zhang said.
According to an estimate of the CWWCS, nearly 18,000 books of about 750 authors have been scanned and posted on Google's digital library, which can only be accessed within U.S. borders, having carried out this action without paying most of the authors.
