Pirated Shuwang works seriously hurt users ' rights and interests

In recent years, mobile phone reading has developed rapidly, but pirated Shuwang works have seriously harmed the interests of users. Pirated content is generally not authorized by the rights of copyright, its quality can not be guaranteed, often mixed with a large number of noise, wailing, Shuwang experience far less than genuine. and long-term listening to poor audio books, but also make people appear tinnitus, brain drowsy phenomenon, greatly hurt people's hearing. Therefore, the alliance calls the user Shuwang best use the genuine reading platform.

China Telecom's oxygen Shuwang production Fangtianyi reading Culture Company General Manager Xiaowei Introduction, like Oxygen Shuwang has the largest genuine Shuwang works, works of category and quantity is very rich, covering more than 20 kinds, there are over 100,000 hours of shuwang time long. Its content is high fidelity quality works, sound voice clear, clear, long time will not produce uncomfortable feeling.

Piracy will also make the entire Shuwang industry chain, the genuine party will not return will not have input, which will lead to the quality of genuine more and more poor, fewer and less, the user can hear the good works are also fewer and less. Piracy is also the Shuwang works of copyright owners and the work of the speaker of the naked plagiarism, a deep blow to their efforts to produce genuine works of enthusiasm. Zhangqin, a famous suspense novelist, said the work was pirated like a new bike stolen in a second-hand market. The famous podcast (video sharing) "Thorn" also said that all of their works are almost pirated, "serious piracy led to the decline in the number of podcasts, more and more people left the industry."

"Online piracy" is clearly defined as a new type of crime

The copyright law issued by our country has long stipulated that copyright is protected by law. The latest "Copyright Law" (Second Amendment version) 48th of the eight violations of the detailed provisions, and pointed out that the infringement, should be based on the situation, to stop the infringement, eliminate the impact, apology, compensation losses and other civil liability; The interpretation of the specific application of law in criminal cases of infringement of intellectual property rights also defines "online piracy" as a new type of crime.

To this end, the Anti-Piracy Alliance issued the "China Shuwang Industry anti-Piracy Alliance proposal", members have made clear that to resolutely combat piracy in the Shuwang industry, through a unified, joint legal action to war on piracy. Piracy not only affects the rights and interests of copyright in Shuwang industry, but also affects the healthy development of the industry, seriously disrupting the normal order of the market.

Anti-Piracy Alliance issued 10 specific action slogans, called on the Shuwang industry parties to join the rights and enterprises, and actively joined the Anti-Piracy Alliance of Chinese Shuwang Works, collectively resist piracy infringement; Call Shuwang website and client not to propagate unauthorized works Call upon Shuwang industry investment institutions to carefully review the copyright status of the objects to be invested, to not inject capital into any enterprises suspected of infringement, and to urge and assist the Government to increase the administrative enforcement of anti-piracy in the Shuwang industry and to urge the judiciary to increase the criminal penalties for the infringement cases of Shuwang works Appeal to all sectors of the community to enhance civic awareness of respect for intellectual property rights and to resist piracy.

First anti-piracy lawsuit total claim $1.2 million

Founded at the beginning, the alliance announced that in Shenzhen, Beijing, Shanghai and other courts to launch lawsuits, to the suspected piracy Shuwang content of the Shenzhen Online Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing Baidu Network Technology Co., Ltd., Shanghai 2345 Network Technology Co., Ltd. total claim 1.2 million yuan. At present, Hangzhou Mercedes lawsuit lazy person Shuwang first in Shenzhen Nanshan court formally filed, become the domestic Shuwang industry collective Rights First case!

Hunan Satellite TV Happy Interactive Entertainment Media Co., Ltd. related personnel also said that some of the company's Shuwang works are also suspected of piracy. "We have no cooperative relationship between the lazy Shuwang platform, has been found in the encyclopedia of all said," I am the Great Beauty, "2011 to 2014 of the three major audio content of the infringement. At present, evidence of infringement is being collected, which is intended to prevent infringement through legal means. ”

It is reported that the prosecution is only the Chinese Shuwang Works anti-Piracy Alliance launched the first step of anti-piracy operations, against other piracy activities will be launched in the future piracy.

The development of electronic reading industry is restricted by piracy

Shuwang since its inception, with its unique advantages by users. Now, the United States 75% of publications have their corresponding audio books, audio books of public Welfare also for the blind to facilitate the reading. According to the American Association of Audio Publishers (APA), the number of audio readings published in 2011 is 7237 (This is the latest data available). This number grew by 17% from 2010 (6200), Up 57% from 2009 (4602). However, due to various reasons, the development of Shuwang industry in China has not achieved the desired degree and effect, in which piracy is one of the important factors restricting its development.

The formal enterprise has paid more cost in Shuwang copyright production and purchase, informal enterprises rely on playing the edge, direct illegal theft, their piracy has destroyed the market competition of the principle of fairness, over the longer term easy to form a "bad currency drive good currency" phenomenon, so that more and more genuine enterprises and practitioners to leave, damaging the healthy development of the industry. Like the network music industry, the piracy has been devastated so far has not entered a benign development track.

The domestic Shuwang industry still has the status of the difficult to defend rights. It is understood that the United States copyright law is very strict, the punishment is very strong, once investigated piracy, will be sentenced to several years of imprisonment, and was sentenced to astronomical fines. In Japan, when piracy occurs, the infringer will not only suffer fines, but also jail, and will be ruined in society. At home, although China has promulgated the "Copyright law", "Tort Liability Law", "Information Network dissemination Rights protection regulations" and other relevant laws, to the infringement of the norms, but the Shuwang market supervision of imperfect still exist, on the regulation of audio copyright regulations have not been introduced, Therefore, the rights of audio rights can only be operated in accordance with the traditional copyright protection mode. These problems are restricting the development of Shuwang industry.

Looking forward to a government strike

Industry personage Analysis, this lawsuit case verdict result is very important, it is very likely to provide the case basis for the judgment of similar tort case in the future, the most key part is the compensation amount that the Pirate Party is judged. If the amount of compensation is too small for pirates, the less the cost of infringement, the less the deterrent effect of the law, the next time it may continue to piracy, the entire industry is still not a fundamental change in piracy infringement.

2014, "copyright" will become the key to the development of Shuwang industry, China's shuwang industry copyright protection is imminent. The relevant government departments of the State, on the one hand, need to punish the violators of the law, and improve the infringement cost of the infringing party, on the other hand, strengthen the system construction and use the technical means to explore the long-term mechanism of copyright supervision in Shuwang industry. Oxygen Shuwang Production Fangtianyi reading Culture Company General Manager Xiaowei said that the company has developed a new generation of audio-reading copyright protection and tracking technology, including copyright protection and copyright tracking two key technologies, from the sound reading of the safe transmission, encryption storage, browser access and audio books were illegally spread after the right to determine, Protection of copyright in the direction of traceability.
