This should be a popular term for copyright infringement. A photo or short fragment used for personal appreciation, personal research, classroom teaching, or to evaluate or comment on a published work is a reasonable use and does not constitute copyright infringement as described in the Copyright Law . However, if the highlights of the movie are disseminated on a short video platform, if the party does not give permission and the rights holder does not agree, it will be an infringement.
Previously, lawyer Zhou Zhaocheng also published a detailed explanation of the incident involving Xue Zhiqian's alleged stolen photos.

In addition, lawyer Zhou Zhaocheng also mentioned that "even if there is no legal prosecution, the act of stealing is still unacceptable from a moral and social level" and called on everyone to respect the intellectual property rights and privacy rights of others and avoid stealing. .
