There are only a few dozen days before the opening of the Beijing Olympic Games, and the battle to protect the Olympic copyright has already begun. On June 12, 2008, in order to strengthen the protection of Olympic copyrights, the National Copyright Administration announced a special operation for combating online infringement and piracy in 2008. One of the provisions has caught much attention - from June 12 to October 15, it is prohibited to spread online personally-shot DVs or TV screen captures related to Olympic events, and uploading them to personal blogs also constitutes an infringement. This has caused a great stir. Should netizens not upload personal videos or screenshots of the Olympics in any form during the Olympic Games? What survival line will video websites cross? Regarding the battle to protect Olympic copyrights, how are all parties involved engaging in such a game?
