Recently, "NetEase cloud Music" platform spread 200 of music works for alleged infringement, by the cool dog music a paper lawsuit to Guangzhou Tianhe District People's Court. The "Sword Net 2014" Special operation, which was scheduled to end in late November 2014, has not been completed, and the recent State copyright administration has also informed the third batch of 12 internet piracy cases in 2014.

Multiple video sites shut down due to copyright pressure

In the 12 cases recently reported by the National Copyright Administration, it covers the types of cases such as infringing network film and television, literature, copyright of online game works, selling infringing pirated products through network platform. These include the sudden closure of the "shooter net" infringement that triggered the public's unlimited speculation.

The reasons for the shutdown, although the parties were once secretive, were subsequently proved to have originated from copyright pressure. The striker, for example, was complained of by the American Film Association as early as last September. Recently, the Shanghai Municipal Cultural market Administrative law Enforcement Corps in accordance with the law of the company to make a fine of 100,000 yuan administrative penalty.

"Sword Net 2014" Special action has already had two briefings, respectively last July 9 and September 2, a total of 18 cases.

Shaohong, deputy director of the National Copyright Administration, said that by standardizing intellectual property rights, the owners of intellectual property had been shown to be able to gain the benefits they deserved and bring more value. For example, "Where is Dad" copyright sold 200 million, "The good voice of China," the copyright sold 250 million.

Piracy costs 1 billion dollars a year.

However, the problem of piracy on the Internet is still very serious. "Against malicious tort, we resolutely fight, no mercy." "Shaohong said.

The Government's determination to investigate Internet copyright infringement has already been revealed in the fast-seeding event. The fast-growing empire, which became a pirate, collapsed overnight, fined as much as $260 million, and gave a lively lesson to those accustomed to free lunches on the internet, and the old profit-making model proved outdated.

"The Internet is the core area of copyright protection, but also the hardest hit of internet infringement." Wang Xiujun, a full-time deputy director of the National Internet Information Office, said bluntly.

According to Peng, deputy director of the National Internet Information Office, as of the end of 2013, the court accepted copyright cases, the network copyright disputes as high as 50%. The annual loss caused by piracy is around 1 billion yuan. The problem of video piracy is particularly prominent. To this end, SARFT director Cai to the recent second China Network audio-visual conference, special mention to encourage the original video site, "Our new media if only to do traditional media and traditional content porters, or far from enough, must increase original content." ”

Indeed, if an industry is to develop for a long time, it is impossible to stay on the edge of law for long. Zhang Qingkun, Deputy Secretary-General of the Internet and Social Research Institute of Tencent, told reporters that in 2014, as China's piracy crackdown intensified, China's internet industry entered the Golden age in genuine operations. Enterprises have invested heavily to buy high-quality content, the formation of user access to content Web site stickiness, and then through advertising or value-added services to obtain revenue, this business model has proved to be quite alive. and the genuine operating mode of the Internet has greatly stimulated the development of traditional culture industry, film industry, record industry and so on, have established strategic cooperative relationship with Internet companies, and truly realized the synergy between the industrial development.

Network reprint should be adjusted by copyright law

In addition to the video site copyright issues, the network reproduced the infringement caused by the issue also appeared in 2014.

June 24, 2014, Sohu to "today's headline" Infringement of copyright and unfair competition, filed a lawsuit, claim 11 million yuan.

"The third revision of the copyright law of the draft provisions to allow the publication of written works reproduced, there is no provision of new media to the newspaper writing works reproduced problems." In fact, the network reprint has become the incidence of infringement disputes, almost all the network infringement cases, infringement of reputation rights, privacy and network rumors, network reprint has become a contributing factor to expand the situation of the tort helper. "said Zhang Jin, a professor at China University of politics and law.

Zhang Jin pointed out that the copyright law should be how to adjust the network reprint, is related to the industrial development of a major choice. The third amendment of copyright law will face this problem, in the restriction of rights and exception system, whether the network can be reproduced into the rule of law track, the use of the newspaper reprinted excerpts of the legal permission extended to the network media, but also the researcher and the participants in the in-depth investigation of the full argument after a more feasible scheme.

"If the early Internet mainly serves as the public Information Exchange tool, the information exchange value surpasses the network culture industry value, then, today's Internet increasingly manifests its network culture industry the attribute and the value, protects the network intellectual property rights according to law, has reflected the network development time lawsuit and our country industry upgrades the realistic need." "said Lin Ling, a professor at East China University of politics.
