SHANGHAI — Zhao Jin's bright and sleepless nights began shortly after he moved into his home less than a year ago.

Outside the front balcony of his second-floor apartment, four lights from a storefront sign beamed into his bedroom, through the thick curtains and into his weary eyes. When he complained to storeowners, they got angry and told him to get lost.

But the 26-year-old industrial equipment salesman retained a lawyer and filed suit. Two months later, Zhao got even. The People's Court of Shanghai ordered the decorations store to kill its sign lights.

"They violated my living space," Zhao said recently in his bedroom, where, with a look of satisfaction, he drew open the curtains to show the blackness of the night.
