New media and copyright
China Daily | Updated: 2014-06-10 07:29
The developer of the Chinese news app Today's Headlines recently announced a fresh injection of capital, including funds from US-based venture capital firm Sequoia Capital, that has raised its value to over $500 million.
However, media organizations are accusing the news aggregator of infringing copyrights as the app has failed to obtain agreements to use their content.
Given that, for years, the awareness of copyright protection has remained weak in China, the latest media campaign to protect copyright should be encouraged.
