I don't know. Does Amazon subject the Kindle books to some sort of approval process or can anyone just put his ebook into the Amazon store? This might make a difference. However, as we only have the facts from a Yahoo news report and as we don't know about Chinese law and lawsuits (well, at least I don't know anything about that) this is just idle speculation anyway.
I don't like this "pot calling the kettle black" argument, though. These are Chinese authors. Why should they be answerable for IP infringements committed by Chinese industrial companies in any way? By applying this kind of logic, am I entitled to whack any American I happen to come across just because I dislike what the US has done in Iraq?
