Cover news reporter Zhang Yuexi

After a large number of netizens reported that the Youku VIP screen was charged, the relevant entries finally rushed to the hot search. The reporter learned that after Youku opened VIP membership rights, the use of the screen service also needed to open a cool meow member.

On July 22, Youku's official self -service question and answer page showed that Youku VIP membership's rights do not include screens. Currently supporting mobile phones, tablets, and computers, not contain TV.

Earlier, because of the mainstream long video platform iQiyi, Tencent, etc. to watch on the TV side, they needed to buy large -screen members separately, so it has become a way to save money by many netizens through mobile phone screening. After the user only needs to connect the mobile phone and the TV terminal to the same WiFi, then open the APP of the video platform. It can be used to play the content of the mobile phone with the screen function of the TV. It is very convenient.

As soon as Youku's move came out, some netizens believed that they had purchased members and should not spend more money to use the screen function. Some netizens believe that if you only spend small screen money, you can look at the big screen, and users who spend more money to buy big screen members are unfair.

In this regard, Youku responded that Youku VIP membership rights do not include screens, and relevant member services can be used on mobile phones, tablets, and computer. If the user needs to watch on the TV side, it is recommended to buy or upgrade to a cool meow member and enjoy the TV's rights.

Earlier, the regulatory authorities had responded that if the member agreement does not include a screen, there is no infringement. The reporter's inquiry of Youku VIP member service agreements found that the second stipulation stipulates that Youku VIP member services can be used on the mobile phone, tablet computer, and computer ending, and cannot be used on the TV. It is worth mentioning that iQiyi and Tencent videos also have similar regulations.

VIP membership screen TV requires single charges, does it infringe on membership rights? Attorney Wu Mingliang, a lawyer of Beijing Jingshi (Chengdu) Law Firm, analyzed that the focus of this question is whether the screening of the screen is used in the television side of the member agreement. The membership agreement is not clear about this. For the newly opened members, if the platform clarifies the screening of the screen is a toll project, this is understandable, but if it is an old user, when the agreement is unclear, the previous screen investment function can be used normally, and the screen function is not indicated. For a limited time, it is now suspected of changing the contract for upgrading the screen function. It is suspected of changing the contract unilaterally and is suspected of infringing consumer rights and interests.
