My guess is that it is a ploy by the Chineese government to force the works to be removed from the App Store.

If they requested directly to have the works removed they would get denied, but if they claim infringement towards the author they can get traction.

Submission + - W3C's Plan for DRM in HTML5 is a Betrayal to All Web Users (freeculture.org)

Submitted by jrepin on Thursday April 25, 2013 @07:22AM

jrepin writes: A handful of myths have become common defenses of the W3C’s plan for “Encrypted Media Extensions” (EME), a Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) scheme for HTML5, the next version of the markup language upon which the Web is built. These arguments obscure the threat this poses to a free and open web and why we must send a strong and clear message to the W3C and its member organizations, that DRM in HTML5 is a betrayal to all Web users and undermines the W3C’s self-stated mission to make the benefits of the Web “available to all people, whatever their hardware, software, network infrastructure, native language, culture, geographical location, or physical or mental ability.” The W3C exists to bring the vision of an undivided ‘One Web’ to its full potential, and DRM is antithetical to that goal.

My all time favorite catch was when we noticed one of the IPs in an attack was from Microsoft's corporate office.
Needless to say they were probably running IE.

I agree, when I look in to spam on servers I do notice quite a bit coming from residential ISPs.

Hate to see what these computers are being used for that we are not seeing.

The real problem is normal users that do not really know what is happening on their computers and really do not care.
It always brings me back to images of windows users with 20 different toolbars loaded in to IE.
