Disputes between US electronics giant Apple and Chinese writers continues as the second trial of a lawsuit opens and writers claim the company sold their books without consent.
 

The trial, which opened on Wednesday, contains 10 charges of copyright infringement from the 11 writers and Apple is appealing prior rulings of two separate cases in December 2012 and April this year, claiming the ruling has some problems.
 

So far, the Beijing No 2 Intermediate People's Court has ordered Apple to pay more than CYN 1.14 million (USD 186,000) to the writers in compensation.
 

In the current trial, held at Beijing High People's Court, Apple's attorney Zhang Hui said the company agreed to evidence showing infringements in its App Store, but it is not responsible for the China store's operations.

But Apple's lawyers said the company did not make a profit on the 10 cases and provided download data and financial documents between the e-book developers and Apple.
