China's largest online bookstore Dangdang and China Theater Press were recently sued by Nanhai Publishing Co over the copyright for One Hundred Years of Solitude, the Nobel Prize winning novel by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

In 2010, Nanhai Publishing acquired the exclusive Chinese mainland copyright on the work. It claims China Theater Press published an unlicensed version of the book and sold it online at Dangdang.

Nanhai Publishing is asking for 1 million yuan ($157,000) in compensation from the two defendants.
