Yesterday, the National Copyright Department, together with the Ministry of Public Security and the Telecommunications Department, once again launched the "Jianwang Operation" to govern 18 key video websites mainly including Sina, Sohu, Youku, Tudou, Ku6, Xunlei, etc. It was learned that this "Jianwang Operation" would deal with offenders by imposing fines, confiscating illegal gains, and seizing server equipment. In serious cases, administrative law enforcement and criminal justice would be combined for disposal. The maximum sentence could be 3-5 years. Would online "thieves" thus stop their actions or even cease to exist?
The Internet has developed to today's era of information explosion. The network is changing rapidly, and piracy has made illegal elements more rampant after tasting the benefits. Infringement incidents occur frequently. Just taking videos as an example, after new movies are released, what follows is the new film rush on major video websites, with numerous pirated versions covering the network; literary websites, through piracy, a novel, a book, the author's work of several years can be downloaded in minutes. Numerous infringements and piracies are hard to prevent, and many websites, institutions, and companies are racking their brains to find countermeasures. How to respond is also a topic that people have been debating endlessly.
According to the introduction, the "Jianwang Operation" was officially launched as early as July last year, focusing on "network capturing" actions around films, books, animations, music, software, etc., severely punishing unauthorized illegal uploads of others' works or illegally stealing images and music through websites using network technology, a series of criminal offenses. From the results of the investigation, it can be seen that the network has been cleaned up of a lot of garbage, bringing a bit of freshness to the hot summer.
From August last year to June this year, a total of 1,148 piracy cases have been investigated, with 17 key cases captured. The court has sentenced 7 cases, 5 cases are under appeal, and the other 5 cases are under further investigation. A total of 5.7 million yuan in fines have been imposed. Relevant responsible persons expressed that although the activity has ended, the crackdown on online infringement and piracy will continue. The next step will target issues such as infringers changing domain names and server access. Regarding this, China Nuowang www.nuo.cn, a national e-commerce expert, stated that the battle for domain name registration on the Internet is intensifying, and with the newly introduced top-level domain name policy, protecting existing domain names is imperative. Domain names are like intangible assets, often subject to infringement and threats. Therefore, one should carefully and meticulously manage domain name parsing, register them, and choose professional IDC service providers to execute and supervise domain name protection plans.
Who exactly tampered with my "rights"? Who is the culprit behind the high-risk areas of infringement? From the earliest websites, forums, blogs, e-books to today's microblogs, Facebook, downloads, reprints, shares, etc., the evolution of the Internet brings joy to some and worry to others.
The Baidu Wenku incident in March had twists and turns: Is it data sharing or copyright infringement? Writers, publishers, and the Internet community were fighting tooth and nail; an 80s-born person established the "Gu Jie" website and was sued by Google, accusing "Gu Jie" of imitation and plagiarism, infringing on trademark registration rights, sparking a PK battle; Apple products sold well, but disputes over unauthorized content in the App Store led to lawsuits; someone from Yunnan registered the network domain name "Osmanthus Duck" and resold it, leading to a lawsuit for domain name trademark infringement.
Such infringement incidents keep playing out on the network. Some enterprises, including individuals, may unknowingly step into others' rights zones, or do not know how to protect their own rights. Some companies painstakingly build their brand image through program development, web design, website construction, and online promotion, only to have it copied within a couple of hours to create identical pages for profit; writers often encounter their good articles being plagiarized and reprinted, losing copyrights; infringement is easy, but defending rights is difficult. On the Internet, an article, a picture, a piece of music, a video, can easily be owned, shared, reprinted, and copied with a click of the mouse. Copy-paste has become a habitual action for people. One wave of the network revolution follows another, hackers come and go, infringement comes and goes, who will be the next master of the martial arts world?
