Chen Xingliang v. Digital Library
(Case of Dispute over Infringement upon Copyright)@#
BASIC FACTS@#
Plaintiff: Chen Xingliang, male, 45 years old, professor of Peking University Law School, resides at Haidian District, Beijing.@#
Defendant: China Digital Library Corp. Ltd., located at Haidian District, Beijing.@#
Legal Representative: Zhang Yanbo, president of the company.@#
The plaintiff Chen Xingliang brought a lawsuit to the People's Court of Haidian District, Beijing against the defendant, China Digital Library Corp. Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Digital Library) over the dispute of infringement upon copyright.@#
The plaintiff alleged that: without obtaining his consent, Digital Library used his three works on its website (http: //www. d-library. com. cn). Readers may become the members of the website after paying certain fees and may read and download the works on this website. Digital Library's such act infringed his right to dissemination through the information network. Thus the plaintiff pleads the court to adjudicate the defendant to cease the infringement and compensate 40,000 yuan for his economic losses and 8000 yuan for the rational expenses paid by the plaintiff to stop the infringing act of the defendant.@#
The plaintiff submitted four pieces of evidence: 1. photocopies of the copyright pages of the three works; 2. notarial deed and card reader; 3. receipt of the card reader; 4. invoice.@#
The defendant argued that: it is basically a welfare institution, and it established “China Digital Library” on the internet in order to meet the requirements of the general public in the information age. The nature of the library is to collect all kinds of books for readers to read and for their reference. The three works claimed by the plaintiff has already been published, the defendant's act of including them into the Digital Library would be beneficial for the redevelopment and utilization of the three works and shall not be regarded as an infringement. Moreover, the defendant has always been attaching great importance to the protection of copyright and is investing funds to develop a copyright protection system, which may, once being developed, protect the interests of the copyright owners from being infringed upon on the one hand and give play to the role of the Digital Library, and make it better serve the general public on the other hand. Thus the defendant pleads the court to adjudicate this case on the basis of the actual situation of China Digital Library and that of China.@#
