Thai novelists get justice for copyright theft in Cambodia

BANGKOK (The Nation/Asia News Network) The Department of Intellectual Property has stepped in to help two Thai novelists whose works were published in Cambodia without authorisation.

Officials responded after Jamsai Publishing complained that work by its novelists, who use the pseudonyms 'Stampberry' and 'Pui Fai', had been found on Cambodian websites and Facebook pages, department director-general Wutthikrai Leeweeraphan said on Sunday. The works were published in the neighbouring country without consent from the authors or the publisher, which holds the copyright.
