  ## Controversies
  
  China Weekly Agency Company Limited (中国周刊社有限公司) was sued by Liu Lei (刘磊) for infringement of photographs in 2012. Although the China Weekly paid the author's remuneration, the court held that the scope of Liu Lei's photography authorization to the company was limited to China Weekly No.11, 2011, and did not include the partner website. The court ruled that the company should bear the legal liability of making an apology, stopping the infringement and compensating the loss.
