强烈谴责美国苹果公司网站“盗窃”本人作品
时寒冰
本人近期收到一封海外读者的来信，称美国苹果公司网站，从今年9月13日起，开
始出售本人的新作《时寒冰说：经济大棋局，我们怎么办》的电子版，网址在：http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id463465835?mt=8 该读者由于未看到本人和出版社的授权说明，故怀疑属于非法销售。确实如此。本人和我的出版社从未授权过美国的任何人和任何企业出售本人作品的电子版。那位Peter Li的卖家在美国苹果公司网站，以4.99美元的价格非法销售本人作品，是一种公开的“偷窃”、销赃行为。
《时寒冰说：经济大棋局，我们怎么办》历时多年的心血之作，受到许多读者的欢
迎和肯定。本人亦深知创作者的不易，尊重创作者的劳动，并坚守知识产权保护的基本
原则，本人作品《时寒冰说：经济大棋局，我们怎么办》中选用的百张照片和漫画，全
部支付了版权费。
尊重知识产权是人类进步的体现。美国是一个重视知识产权保护的国家，也不断以
保护知识产权不力为由对其他国家施压和制裁。而生长于这片道德光环笼罩下的苹果公
司，却不幸树立起了一个反面的典型。出版社告诉我，苹果公司网站此前已经多次出现
“盗窃”、销售中国作者作品的事情。2010年苹果公司销售收入高达652.25亿美元，净
利润高达140.13亿美元，却在知识产权保护方面睁一只眼闭一只眼，为非法牟利者提供
平台，自己也分享非法利益所得，从而沦为一个文明的“扒手”的帮凶。试问苹果公司
，你们的利润中有多少是与侵权者狼狈为奸、沆瀣一气“盗窃”所得，你们认为这是你
们的荣耀还是羞耻？
美国苹果公司作为一家深受消费者喜爱的国际知名公司，如此赤裸裸地纵容“盗窃
”行为，不仅严重侵害了本人和出版社的权利，也为读者树立了一个恶劣的典型。每一
个有良知和道德底线的人，都会为美国苹果公司这种纵容侵权的做法感到羞愧和愤怒。
本人深知，中国法律在知识产权保护方面的缺陷和招商引资方面的宽容政策，难以
对美国苹果公司构成压力，本人不知道这是不是美国苹果公司漠视“行窃”者非法牟利
底气所在，但本人强烈谴责美国苹果公司的这种背离其企业理念、误导公众的行为，同
时，呼吁抵制美国苹果公司网站非法销售的任何未经授权的产品。
如果美国苹果公司继续听任侵权者在其网站非法销售本人作品，本人将考虑在美国
法院对其起诉，以法维权。

Strongly Condemning U.S. Apple Inc.’s website for “Stealing” My Works
Shi Hanbing
I have received a letter from an oversea reader recently, saying that U.
S. Apple Inc.’s website is selling the electronic version of my new works
The Grand Trends（《时寒冰说：经济大棋局，我们怎么办》） in its website
starting from Sept. 13th this year. The website is http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id463465835?mt=8
The reader suspects the above sales is illegal because he hasn’t seen any
authorization by me or my publishing house. Indeed. My publishing house and
I have never authorized anyone or any enterprises in the United States to
sell the electronic version of my works. The seller named “Peter Li” sells
my works illegally at the price of US$4.99 in U.S. Apple Inc.’s website.
That is “stealing” and selling the stolen goods openly.
The Grand Trends（《时寒冰说：经济大棋局，我们怎么办》）, which is
popular with many readers, is the fruit of my many years’ painstaking labor
. I’m fully aware the hardships borne by the creators, so I respect their
labor. I adhere to the fundamental principles of intellectual property.
About a hundred photos and cartoons are used in my works The Grand Trends（
《时寒冰说：经济大棋局，我们怎么办》）, all the royalties of them was paid.
Respecting intellectual property reflects the progress of mankind. The
United States, which attaches importance to intellectual property protecting
, often imposes sanctions to other countries which do less in protecting
intellectual property. However, Apple Inc., unfortunately, has set a bad
example. The publishing house tells me that Apple Inc. has “stolen” many
times the works of Chinese writers and sells them in its website. The sales
revenue of Apple Inc. in 2010 is up to US$65.225 billion and the net profit
is US$14.013 billion. However, Apple Inc. turns a blind eye to intellectual
property protecting. It provides a platform for the illegal profiteers and
shares the illegal profits with them, thus reducing itself to a accomplice
of the civilized “pickpocket”. I’d like to ask Apple Inc., how much in
your profits is got by colluding with the “thief”? What do you think, this
is your honor or your shame?
As a well-known international company and popular with the consumers,
Apple Inc. connives at “stealing” so openly that it has not only infringed
the rights of the publishing house and mine but also set a bad example to
the readers. Each person of conscience will be angry and ashamed of Apple
Inc.’s connivance to infringement.
I am fully aware that there are defects in China’s law concerning
intellectual property protecting. I’m not sure whether Apple Inc.’s act of
conniving infringement is based on this. But I strongly condemn Apple Inc.
’s act of deviating from its enterprise idea and misleading the public.
Meanwhile, I’d like to call for a boycott of any unauthorized products
illegally sold by Apple Inc.’s website.
If Apple Inc. ’s website continues permitting the infringer illegally
selling my works in its website, I will consider to sue it in an American
law court.
