Youku members want to pay more than 100 netizens every year: Eating is too ugly!

Volkswagen.com · Poster journalist Du Hongxiao Bi Sheng report

On the evening of July 21, many netizens found that Youku video could not be cast. After the screen was cast, you could only try to watch for 6 minutes. If you want to continue the screen, you need to open the Kuku VIP membership rights before opening the cool meow members. In this regard, some netizens questioned: "A copyright harvested two chives?" At the same time, some netizens said to Youku's practice: "Eating is too ugly!"

On the morning of July 22, the reporter called Youku's official customer service. The reporter proposed why it could be cast before, but now that it is not possible, the customer service only uses one sentence "I suggest you upgrade the cool meow membership and watch the screen to watch".

The reporter found that the annual VIP price of Youku mobile phone was 258 yuan, and the purchase of 70 % off from the platform was only 178 yuan. The price of Coolow's annual VIP is 488 yuan. After using a 5.9 % discount coupon, it needs to pay 288 yuan. In contrast, Cool Meow members are more than 100 yuan.

Later, the reporter found that Youku was not forbidden to cast screens for all the dramas, but recently the most popular dramas, such as "Outside of the Court" and "Agarwood Like Deduct", can no longer be watched.

In this regard, Surging News reported that if the member agreement does not include a screen, there is no infringement. In the "Youku VIP Member Service Agreement" in Youku Station, its second stipulation stipulates that Youku VIP membership service can be used on the mobile phone, tablet computer, and computer end, and cannot be used on the TV side. It is worth mentioning that iQiyi and Tencent videos also have similar regulations.

Lawyer Hao Jianguo of Beijing Kangda Law Firm believes that the video platform provides audiovisual services, which are limited by factors such as file size, network transmission speed, and playback hardware quality. Different broadcast terminals will have different audiovisual effects, so so It should be more appropriate to determine the use of the use of the final broadcast end. In other words, although the screen is the function of the mobile app, the final broadcast medium is TV and should be regarded as the TV side. Lawyer Hao Jianguo introduced that the "Youku VIP Member Service Agreement" clarifies the scope of the use of Youku VIP membership services. Then some episodes need to upgrade members to enter the screen without constituting infringement.

But this statement still does not buy it.
