Agencies or individuals in China are required to have a license to distribute publications through information networks including the Internet, according to a latest regulation issued by China's press and publication watchdog.

Also, publication distributors who already have a permit for publishing, should report to publication authorities within 15 days if they have a newly started Internet-based publications business, said the General Administration of Press and Publications (GAPP).

According to the regulation posted Thursday on GAPP's official website, agencies or individuals must not distribute publications that infringe upon others' copyrights.
