News at Eleven: Author Karl (CK) Stead has apologised

for quoting without permission from Janet Frame's work in his just-released memoir, even though he believes he was well within his rights to publish what he did.

Contacted yesterday, the author of South-West of Eden said he apologised to avoid a protracted legal battle with the Janet Frame Literary Trust, which he believed used "copyright as an instrument against a book they don't necessarily like".
