The reason was that he sang "Xiangtian Borrowing Five Hundred Years" in a live broadcast, and was sued by the songwriter and asked to compensate 100,000 yuan.

Although the PDD mockery said that the root cause of singing was because he sang too badly, but the real reason was definitely not so joke, but he was suspected of infringement.

"Borrowing Five Hundred Years of Xiangtian" is the theme song of the TV series "Kangxi Dynasty". Why did the PDD snm in the live broadcast room "Xiangtian Borrowing Five Hundred Years" was caught in infringement? So, can you sing on the Internet and play happily? There are really many knowledge points involving copyrights, which are worth talking about.

First of all, everyone must be broad -minded. Under the circumstances, whispering will violate the copyright of the musicians.

The lawyer said that if it is pure self -entertainment, it is not charged or charged in disguise. This situation belongs to the reasonable use of the works of others and does not constitute infringement.

PDD is different. As long as the works of others do not meet reasonable use or statutory permission, they constitute copyright infringement. There are many fans of PDD live broadcasts such as rewards such as rewards. Its behavior in the live broadcast should be identified as a profit behavior, which is a non -reasonable scope of use, and thus constitutes infringement.

In addition, it is necessary to prompt and learn: without permission to sing other people's songs in the live broadcast room, it may also involve violations of copyright and neighborhoods at the same time. Singing songs in webcasting is a non -interactive way to publicize the work. It belongs to the acting of broadcasting rights under the current copyright law. If there is no permission from the words and song authors in advance, it may violate its copyright.

Therefore, to knock on the small blackboard again, for those professional Internet celebrities who are profit -making, in the live broadcast activities, they really do not sing and sing, but to obtain "discuss" in advance and obtain authorization from regular channels. In order to be allowed to sing. Otherwise, it is likely that the PDD is likely to be charged with a claim because of the quotation.

In fact, before the PDD, there were Internet celebrity anchors such as Feng Timo and the live broadcast platform were sued to the court for using unauthorized music works. But it is clear that the warning effects of these cases are not so long and obvious. Otherwise, PDD will not repeat the same mistakes, and there will be no many people who feel a fuss about PDD because of singing.

"PDD live singing was sued" on the hot search, which just shows that the awareness of intellectual property rights in the whole people needs to be improved, and intellectual property education needs to be popular and deepened.

Protecting intellectual property rights is to protect innovation. The copyright of the musicians' music works has been effectively protected, so that they can inspire them to create more outstanding works for the public to appreciate.

Web live performances are both emerging media and social methods, but also innovative cultural and creative industries, and their own development is also inseparable from the protection of intellectual property rights. Live anchors and live broadcast platforms, when using art works such as other people's music, respect the copyright rights of others, obtain authorization in accordance with the law, share income with other art creators, and create a harmonious and win -win cultural ecological environment. the way.

Understand these truths, PDDs do not have to say what is nervous and never dare to sing anymore. As long as they are authorized according to law, they can still sing and sing.
