Yan Xiaohong introduced that since the "Notice on Ordering Online Music Service Providers to Stop the Unauthorized Distribution of Musical Works" came into effect in July last year, in less than two months, more than 2.2 million infringing musical works have been removed from the shelves. In addition, the payment for musical works-this does not mean the payment made by end users, that is, ordinary users, but the payment paid by music websites to the music rights holders of these works when disseminating musical works-has also increased significantly. However, Yan Xiaohong also admitted that the purpose...

At the same time, he also admitted that online literature-- that is, written works used on the Internet in a general sense, including news works-- is still a "hardest hit area."

Yan Xiaohong, deputy director of the National copyright Administration, said at a 2015 conference on the development of intellectual property rights held by the Information Office of the State Council on the 19th that relevant laws should be amended in time to protect intellectual property rights from the media. At the same time, he also admitted that online literature-- that is, written works used on the Internet in a general sense, including news works-- is still a "hardest hit area."

after ten years of governance, the legitimate copyright rate in the video field has been very high

Yan Xiaohong said that the National copyright Administration has carried out special network governance actions since 2005, first by the combination of the copyright Bureau, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Information and Industry (now the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology), and later the Internet Information Office, which has achieved remarkable results. "at first, many people feel that there is no way to deal with the problem of network infringement, and it is not too much to say that the problem of network infringement and piracy is rampant, and after nearly 10 years of governance, it should be said that the situation has greatly improved. The field of network copyright mainly covers network film and television, music and dance, drama, books, newspapers and software, etc., the most prominent response in the past few years is the video field. Now, on the one hand, it is because video companies have the consciousness to act in accordance with the law, and on the other hand, it is because the copyright Bureau has stepped up law enforcement efforts. For example, many major cases have been investigated and dealt with in the past 10 years, and the investigation and handling of these cases has greatly reversed the serious situation of infringement and piracy in the network field. The legitimate rate in the video field is now very high. "

the era of free use of music works has passed

Yan Xiaohong pointed out that from other fields, music is an area with many problems, because the rights of music are very scattered and numerous, and the opinions of the right holders are very large, including some music websites. But the days of free use of the work are over. Yan Xiaohong said that since the "notice on ordering Internet Music Service providers to stop unauthorized dissemination of Music works" came into effect in July last year, more than 2.2 million infringing music works have been removed from the shelves in less than two months. In addition, the payment for music works-- this does not refer to the payment of end users, that is, ordinary users. Instead, when music websites spread music works, they paid the music rights holders of those works to buy them-- a big increase.

but Yan Xiaohong also admits that at present, online literature-- that is, written works used in the Internet in a general sense, including news works-- is still a "hardest hit area." "on the one hand, we should step up publicity on this, because the most fundamental thing is to make users have a sense of abiding by the law; on the other hand, we should step up law enforcement, in addition to the special actions jointly organized by the copyright Bureau, the Internet Information Office, the Ministry of Public Security, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Our copyright law enforcement departments at all levels should implement law enforcement responsibilities. Judging from the situation in China, we still have the ability to manage the (infringement) problems in the network field. "

will timely amend the relevant laws to protect the copyright of self-media

recently, many people's moments have been scrubbed by two penguins sitting on the left and right sides of the boat. Suddenly, a topic offended the minefield, a penguin jumped off the ship, and then "the boat of friendship flipped over." "turn the hull" has been "learned and used" by various Wechat official accounts, deducing thousands of versions. But according to the original author, fewer than 10 people pay for the original.

on the 19th, a reporter took this as an example to ask Yan Xiaohong a question, saying that website infringement is still relatively easy to govern, but in the current new situation of relatively developed Wechat official account and moments, what new ideas does the copyright Bureau have in managing network infringement? Yan Xiaohong replied: for self-media, first of all, it depends on whether what is transmitted constitutes a work. If it is confirmed to constitute a work, its dissemination needs the permission of the copyright owner in accordance with the current law, otherwise it will constitute infringement. However, what way to license still needs to be seriously and deeply studied, and the relevant laws should be revised timely according to the new problems brought about by the development of network technology, so that the law can be more in line with the requirements of social development.
