Video copyright clash sparks compromise call By CAO YIN | CHINA DAILY | Updated: 2021-07-08 08:44 Share CLOSE
Legal experts are calling for the mutual development of the long and short video industries in tandem with copyright protection, suggesting courts play a bigger role in seeking to balance copyright protection and industry growth.
They raised the proposals after reports that a number of short-video producers had become anxious following recent complaints by filmmakers and frequent arguments between the two sides.
In early April, 15 film associations, five long-video platforms and 53 film companies posted a joint statement on combating copyright irregularities on short-video platforms after finding that internet users had edited and cut films or television series into several short videos, allowing them to be viewed in just a few minutes without notifying or paying the copyright owners.
