The Millet box was prosecuted by thunder, demanding compensation of 100,000 yuan

A few days ago, Shenzhen Thunder Network Technology Co., Ltd. will be Millet technology company sued the court, said the latter production of "millet box" set up a film and television on-demand function, the theft of its film "Martial Arts", "Thai embarrassed", and demand compensation for economic losses of 100,000 yuan. It is understood that the Haidian Court has now accepted the case.

Shenzhen Thunder company said that, after legal authorization, Shenzhen Thunderbolt Company to the film "Martial Arts", "Thai embarrassed" enjoy the exclusive right to disseminate information network, the right to the tort party to assert their own rights. And the defendant millet production of "millet box" set up a film on demand function, users can be connected to the Internet after the function on demand, including the "Martial Arts", "Thai embarrassed" film and television works. Millet Company and the future of Television Co., Ltd. on the "martial arts", "Ted" play a cooperative relationship, and the two companies did not obtain the effective authorization of the program.

Shenzhen Thunder Company believes that millet company and Future Television Co., Ltd. without the permission of the plaintiff, for its commercial purposes will not obtain the use of authorized repertoire spread on the network, subjective fault, objectively to the plaintiff caused economic losses, its behavior has constituted infringement, should stop online broadcast services, and assume economic liability, so according to China's " The relevant provisions of the copyright law shall be brought before the court. The case is now being further processed.

Industry insiders said, although the millet box and the number of Chinese cooperation, solve the licensing problem, but its business model still does not conform to the provisions of article 181th, namely: "Internet television integration of the choice of cooperative Internet TV Terminal products, can only connect the Internet TV integrated platform, the end product must not have other access to the Internet channel, Must not connect with the network operation Enterprise's related management system, the database. ”

Article 181th emphasizes the uniqueness of the Internet TV integration platform, while the Millet box can be connected to other Internet videos apparently contrary to this. Before the public opinion mostly pointed to the millet box violation, few people mentioned the issue of the number of licences to provide. At present, we can not know the content of the agreement between the number of millet and China, from the current situation, the number of Chinese as a licensing party obviously has irregularities.

It is also understood that as early as last November, Thunderbolt see CEO Liu Feng revealed that the Thunder to see once with millet on the contents of the Millet box to discuss cooperation.
