Archer Network leader Shen Yu said in his farewell speech:
"The era of need for a Sagittarius network has gone away. ”
What kind of an era is this?
Why does it disregard the people's retention, since Gu and refuse to walk away?
What kind of mission did the subtitle group and resource sites accomplish, with the "tort" charges being strangled with this era?
I think, legally speaking, the subtitle website and the resources website actually constituted the infringement to the copyright owner, specifically how to define and quantify the infringement, here involves the domestic copyright law, the piece source copyright law and the Cross-border Copyright law application, because I am not the legal expert, waits for the professional knowledge friend consummation.
From my own understanding, cultural consumers in the consumption of cultural products, the content of the need to provide benefits to the copyright owner, and the copyright owner of the works published, modify, show and other rights. Subtitles sites and resource sites, as well as those who download, disseminate, store, and watch these sites provide resources, clearly violate the rights of the copyright owners I mentioned earlier.
The interesting thing is that the shooter network began in the form of a blog before 2000 [1], People's film and television was founded in 2006 [2], this is 2014, why in the period of 10-15 years, the rights of the State or copyright owners themselves allowed their existence and growth?
The reason is that these subtitles/resource sites have been on the gray area of the law, and these have been only the content of minority cultural consumption, has not yet reached the impact of the national regime advocated and advocated by the mainstream of the values of spiritual civilization.
Subtitles/resource sites are copyrighted:
Users who have downloaded resources must have seen the title of the statement: "This film is only for the exchange of learning to use, do not use for any commercial purposes, download, please delete within 24 hours"
I believe this group of people who build subtitles/resource websites, as long as there is a perfect copyright system, free cultural works in circulation, they are willing to help the copyright owners gain, and call on the audience to pay for cultural consumption.
"I hope that the value of the Shen Yu is to make more people cross the national fence and understand the different cultures of the world," he said. "This words, I believe, represents a lot of subtitles/resource Web site Building, the vision of the operators, especially the large group of foreign students, who, after going abroad, find themselves obligated and entitled to share the world's different cultures with those who have no chance to go abroad, especially 10-15 years ago, The economic level of Chinese people than before, the cultural consumption is still a single lack of circumstances.
And that happens at this time, the Internet appears.
The vision of the creator of the subtitle/resource site has been realized-many people really crave the resources they provide, and the group is still growing.
Thus, our generation witnessed this 10-15-year era, in the spirit of the Internet Utopia Mutual Benefit, the subtitle/resource website completed their mission:
They carried out different from the mainstream values of China's cultural output, enriching the Chinese people's value system and cultural awareness, by implication in their spread of a large number of film and television resources, with colorful information.
In the early stages of the era, commercial copyright owners faced barriers to their borders and consumers who were not large enough to have the xianxin to protect their copyright infringement.
Let the subtitles/resources site to complete the Chinese consumer education, the lack of economic fundamentals, not to see the cultural needs of the group into their own future consumers, why, and the population of this group, is really huge enough to let capitalists drool.
Today, when we have seen the outside world through the windows that others have opened for us, we are used to not paying for it, and the cultural content and spiritual products are being carried together by commerce and politics, closing the door for about 10 years to the public.
The closure of this door caused us to not only have the gratitude and remembrance, I think there are worries and a trace of fear.
For we know that when the authorities close this door, the table says a set of reasons, but in fact it may be something else that cannot be said. We are concerned, and it is also true, that our cultural consumption environment is being tightened, that there are differences or that only slightly more exotic cultural content will be castrated, defined as "weird buildings" and not defined by the public, or even completely cut off from circulation.
The Shen Yu are proud that the discussions they created from the creation, development, and eventual closure of the site inspire us to think about power, rights and values. Those of us who are accustomed to enjoying free resources should also recognize that it is time for us to pay, and that the baton of the subtitle group and the resource website has been submitted to our own hands. First of all, we must respect the copyright, respect the creator's labor, secondly, we must understand the different political, the cultural content carries on the independent discrimination and the necessary safeguard.
The Internet and subtitle/resource sites teach me that culture has its own power.
I believe that today we have the consciousness, the ability, and the right to watch and choose to watch, and perhaps in the future we will have the freedom to express and spread, as long as we all work together.
