"Guide" in spite of many times before the private video site to court, but for the Chinese http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/8606.html "> Network Television (CNTV), the telecommunications operators to sue, is still the first time. Guangdong Telecom insists that the content is purchased from the licensed Shanghai SMG, so there is no infringement issue.

Although the private video website has been reported to the court many times before, it is the first time for Chinese network Television (CNTV) to sue the telecom operators.

"We have in Guangzhou and Nanjing in the Institute of Guangdong Telecom and Jiangsu Telecom, respectively, and for other areas of telecommunications operators IPTV, mobile TV and other businesses in the infringement, we will investigate the evidence after the timing to sue." August 2, CNTV Copyright Department related person in charge Liu told reporters.

Cntv said that some local telecom operators of IPTV business platform without authorization to provide a large number of CCTV TV program video content. However, Guangdong Telecom related people told our correspondent, "We have noticed the prosecution, but I would like to state that we do not infringe on the content of IPTV programs from the Shanghai office with IPTV license to buy, with legal copyright." ”

For the prosecution of Cntv, radio and television industry experts, integrated network editor Wu Chunyong said, "Obviously this is the radio and television to let telecom operators docking on its IPTV platform another strategic step, before the SARFT stop order is only the first step." ”

Last September by the CNTV construction of IPTV content broadcast control central platform has been completed, according to the three-network integration pilot program, these radio and television master content broadcast control platform and telecommunications operators of the content platform, as well as return network full docking to run, However, telecom operators all over the world have refused to the CNTV-led content broadcast control platform docking network, apparently cntv the prosecution is to allow local telecom operators to cooperate with them as soon as possible.

CNTV launches copyright lawsuit

"The contents of CCTV in the IPTV business of telecom operators have not been authorized by CNTV."

"We are looking at this lawsuit from the user's point of view, so long as we see CCTV and Cntv's program content in the telecom operator IPTV program, we believe these programs are tort." Liu told our correspondent.

According to its introduction, by CCTV authorized, CNTV exclusive access to CCTV all TV channels and their television programs through the internet, mobile phones, IPTV and other new media platforms to the public, broadcast (including but not limited to real-time transmission or delayed transmission), the right to provide.

In Cntv's view, the content of CCTV in the IPTV business of telecom operators did not obtain CNTV authorization. This reporter in Guangdong Telecom sky-wing video IPTV content also did find some TV dramas, movies and talk show content is from including CCTV6, CCTV boutique and the Wind channel.

However, Guangdong Telecom insists that the content is purchased from the licensed Shanghai SMG, so there is no infringement issue.

To this Liu pointed out, "We do not care what channel the telecommunications operators to obtain these programs, as long as they generate revenue through these programs, we will be able to bring a lawsuit after the investigation of evidence, the specific litigation is CNTV legal department mentioned, our copyright departments cooperate with the evidence." ”

The investigation and evidence of Cntv to Guangdong Telecom and Jiangsu Telecom IPTV infringement began in April this year, and in late July in the local court filed a lawsuit, "Our goal is to allow the other party to stop the infringement, delete suspected infringing IPTV program content."

Cntv said, "Our IPTV in other areas has also found a lot of infringement by telecom operators and is now intensifying investigation and forensics." "The lawsuit is aimed at Guangdong Telecom and Jiangsu Telecom in the first place because of the large scale of IPTV users."

At present, the number of domestic IPTV users has more than 11 million households, including Jiangsu, Shanghai and Guangdong, the number of users ranked in the top three.

The contention of triple-net fusion

"Telecom operators can dock with the local CNTV platform, and cooperation is the best outcome."

Some radio and television industry experts believe that the lawsuit brought by the CNTV, in addition to direct program infringement factors, but also to promote telecommunications operators to access its IPTV broadcast control platform.

The reporter learned that last September began to CNTV financed the construction of IPTV broadcast control platform, to the May this year basically completed with Mianyang, Qingdao, Wuhan and other 8 triple-network integration of the pilot City IPTV platform docking, however, because the telecommunications operators around the refusal to return their network with these platforms docking, The IPTV business that led to CNTV could not be carried out.

For example, in Guangdong, Cntv has been with the Shenzhen radio and television platform to complete docking, however, Shenzhen Telecom and Shanghai-SMG cooperation in the IPTV business is in the monthly speed of more than 10,000 households to expand, but technology and other reasons to reject the CNTV-led platform docking.

Also in the fastest growth of IPTV users in Jiangsu Telecom, although Nanjing is reserved for Shanghai's IPTV expansion range, but in Wuxi, Changzhou and other areas have more than 150,000 users, these users are also cntv hope to expand the field. Here is not only Cntv and Shanghai SMG Competition, more is CNTV hope and telecommunications cooperation.

This July, SARFT issued a call to stop the Internet through the Set-top box (DVD player, etc.) to the television terminal to provide audio-visual program services, indicating that the radio and television departments are gradually strengthening the telecom operators IPTV pressure.

Liu said, "We have a lot of lawsuits for tort, and not for telecom operators alone, but if telecom operators can be in IPTV business with the local CNTV platform docking, cooperation between the two sides is the best result." ”

However, for the CNTV-controlled IPTV total platform and 8 pilot cities of the platform, telecom operators have always had their own views. Jiangsu Telecom insiders said that although the three-network integration of the pilot program also let the telecommunications enterprises into the non-political class program production, but also allow the program into the broadcast control platform, but the broadcast control platform is the absolute control of radio and television, "We would like to cooperate in the way to resolve this contradiction."

Wu Chunyong pointed out that this lawsuit ultimately the possibility of reconciliation between the two sides, because the two sides also do not want to intensify the conflict, but because Guangdong, Jiangsu Telecom Current IPTV content is more from Jiangsu, Hunan, Guangdong and other TV stations, so CNTV's prosecution may not be able to achieve the purpose of cooperation.
