First of all, selling pirated online courses on Taobao is illegal infringement and does not need to be operated. Whether or not you are arrested depends on whether the circumstances of the crime are serious and you need to bear criminal responsibility. Under normal circumstances, infringement of copyright mainly requires civil liability and administrative punishment. Copyright dispute cases belong to civil private prosecution cases. There is no doubt that selling pirated copies is an infringement, but it will not be investigated for legal responsibility. The initiative lies with the copyright owner. There is no future in selling pirated copies. If the copyright owner is investigated, the money you earn is not enough to compensate. Don't think that the law won't blame the public.

There are also many cases in reality. Many pirated sellers are puzzled by the defendant, and now the public's awareness of copyright is also increasing. Even sharing online courses for free on public accounts is infringement, let alone profit.

The legal liability for copyright infringement is as follows:

1. Civil liability: Infringements listed in Articles 52 and 53 of the Copyright Law may be subject to civil sanctions, and the forms of liability such as stopping the infringement, eliminating the influence, publicly apologizing and compensating for losses are applicable.

2. Administrative punishment: The administrative punishment for copyright infringement is to impose administrative sanctions on some infringements that violate the copyright law. Article 53 of the Copyright Law stipulates that infringement can be given administrative punishment, that is, confiscation of illegal income and fines.

3. Criminal liability: the crime of copyright infringement is a serious act that violates copyright laws and regulations and infringes on the author, other copyright owners and disseminators of works. Criminal sanctions include fixed-term imprisonment, criminal detention and fines. The maximum sentence is 7 years; Fines can be dealt with alone or in combination with fixed-term imprisonment or criminal detention. Articles 2 17 and 2 18 of the Criminal Law provide clear sentencing standards for all kinds of copyright infringement.

The laws related to copyright are as follows:

According to the provisions of Article 53 of the Copyright Law, the following infringements shall bear the civil liability as stipulated in Article 52 of this Law; If the infringement harms the public interest, it shall be ordered to stop the infringement, give a warning, confiscate the illegal income, confiscate and harmlessly destroy the infringing copies mainly used for means of production, tools and equipment.

===========================================================

Taobao sells piracy and infringement. What should the copyright owner do if he sues the court for compensation?

Owners of intellectual property rights (trademarks, copyrights, patents) will generally outsource to intellectual property commercial rights protection (brand counterfeiting) companies if they find infringement. Because intellectual property commercial rights protection companies are usually full-risk agents (bear all expenses such as fares, notary fees and attorney fees). ), they adopt the mode of sharing and cooperation of court judgment compensation.

When the company cooperates with the copyright owner, the copyright owner does not need to pay any fees (notary fees, attorney fees, transportation fees). The obligee enjoys the share of tort compensation. ____
