What are the serious copyright infringements? According to the provisions of my country's Copyright Law, we can classify copyright infringements into general civil infringements, serious infringements and infringements constituting crimes. What are the serious infringements of copyright? Serious infringement of copyright means that the perpetrator not only infringes upon the legitimate rights and interests of the copyright owner and neighboring rights holders, but also affects the normal order of the socialist cultural market and infringes upon the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. Behavior. According to Article 47 of my country’s Copyright Law, the following acts are serious infringements of copyright: First, copying, distributing, performing, screening, broadcasting, compiling, through information networks, etc. without the permission of the copyright owner The act of communicating a work to the public. This behavior is a serious infringement of copyright property rights, and most of the infringers are for profit. If the infringer's infringement is not stopped, the economic interests of the copyright owner will not be realized or will be hindered. Since this kind of behavior will not only damage the legitimate rights and interests of the copyright owner, but also disrupt the circulation market of cultural and artistic works, it is also an infringement that must be severely punished by the law. Second, the act of publishing books for which others have exclusive publishing rights. This behavior infringes upon the exclusive publishing rights of neighboring rights enjoyed by the book publishing unit, and is also known as piracy. Since this behavior will directly affect the return on investment of book publishers and the order of the cultural product circulation market, if it is not strictly prohibited, it will inevitably affect the normal dissemination of works. Third, the act of copying and distributing audio and video recordings of his or her performance without the performer's permission, or disseminating his or her performance to the public through information networks. What this behavior infringes upon is the performer's right in neighboring rights. Permitting others to produce and distribute audio and video products for profit and to control the dissemination of information network are rights granted to performers by law. Therefore, using it without permission will generate profit. Behavior will not only violate the performer's legal rights, but also disrupt normal social order. Fourth, the act of copying, distributing, and disseminating to the public through information networks the audio and video products produced without the permission of the audio and video producers. This behavior is piracy in the dissemination of audio and video products. What the infringer infringes is the rights of the audio and video producers. The more specific object of the infringement is the reproduction rights, distribution rights and information network dissemination rights enjoyed by the audio and video producers for the audio and video products they produce. . These rights are exclusive to the producers of audio and video products and can realize their economic benefits and return on their investment. Infringing acts without permission should be punished more severely. Fifth, the act of broadcasting or copying radio and television programs without the permission of radio and television organizations. Such behavior violates the rights of broadcast organizers. The rights of broadcast organizers to license, rebroadcast and copy the radio and television programs they produce are exclusive rights granted by law and must be respected by everyone. Any unauthorized use without permission constitutes infringement. Due to the wide coverage of radio and television, the consequences of infringement are more serious than ordinary civil infringements, so they should be punished more severely. Sixth, without the permission of the copyright holder or the neighboring right holder, the act of deliberately avoiding or destroying the technical measures taken by the right holder to protect the copyright or neighboring rights for works, audio-visual products, etc. With the development of new technologies for the dissemination of works, copyright holders or neighboring rights holders will also adopt certain new technological means to defend themselves against infringement in order to better protect their rights. Destruction of these defense measures not only wastes the funds invested by the right holder in the defense measures and makes the defense purpose impossible to achieve, but also achieves the purpose of infringement. Therefore, regardless of whether the infringer actually uses other people's works or makes a profit, it is a serious infringement and should be severely punished. Seventh, the act of intentionally deleting or changing the electronic rights management information of works, audio and video recordings, etc., without the permission of the copyright holder or neighboring rights holder. This is also a newly added content in the Copyright Law revised in 2001. Its legislative purpose and function are basically the same as the sixth act. Eighth, the act of producing and selling works that counterfeit the signature of others. What this behavior infringes upon is the right of name and authorship in other people's copyrights. In the infringement of art works, those whose name rights are infringed are usually celebrities in the art world. The specific manifestation of this behavior is that the infringer forges the signature of someone who is not the author on the work he has produced, so that others will think that the work is the work of the author who is counterfeited by the infringer on the work and buy it. The quality of a work counterfeiting someone else's signature is not a prerequisite for determining whether it constitutes infringement.
