More than a hundred celebrities have issued an initiative to reject illegal filming of movies:
The movie being shown is not a scenic spot
According to cctv-6 movie channel Weibo @ Today's Film Critic mtalk, during the Spring Festival of 2021, the film channel Fusion Media Center launched the "Rejection of illegal photography" Initiative", including Lei Jiayin, Yang Mi, Dong Zijian, Yu Hewei, Lu Yang, Jia Ling, Zhang Xiaofei, Shen Teng, Andy Lau, Wang Baoqiang and other filmmakers issued an initiative: the movie being shown is not an attraction, and screen photography is uncivilized behavior.
During the 2023 Spring Festival, "stolen photography" also caused heated discussions. Seven films including "The Wandering Earth 2", "Bear Bears Are With Me", "China Ping Pong: The Last Strike", "River Red", "Exchange Life", "Unknown" and "Deep Sea" collectively issued a collective voice calling on everyone to boycott piracy and strictly guard against theft. Record pirated broadcasts, strictly abide by and consciously maintain order.
In 2021, female singer Naiwan also issued an apology for "shooting live pictures on the screen in a cinema".
Lawyer: Taking pictures is an infringement regardless of whether it is disseminated or not.
According to the film channel's "Today's Film Review" column, the gray industry chain of stolen films once affected the normal market distribution of many films.
After the incident of "Joker Xue was accused of stealing photos", the official Weibo of Movie Channel Today's Film Review once again released relevant video reports.
Lawyers pointed out that shooting movie features and Easter eggs in a movie theater is illegal! Taking photos or distributing them is still an infringement! Purchasing a movie ticket does not mean you have the right to steal movies. You still need to abide by the bottom line when watching movies.
Lawyer Zeng Wenwen said that screen shooting, as the name suggests, refers to screen shooting during the movie viewing process, that is, audio and video recording.
Article 31 of the "Film Industry Promotion Law" stipulates that no one may record or record a movie being shown without the permission of the rights holder. At the same time, film copyright and related rights are also protected by the Civil Code, Copyright Law, Criminal Law and other laws.
Although there is no clear definition of "screening" in the existing legal provisions, we believe that the time from after the dragon mark to the time when the theater lights are on at the end of the movie is considered a "screening" and should not be screened.
Some viewers believe that taking photos is not a "video recording" as defined by the law. However, the meaning of video recording refers to recording images using optical, electromagnetic and other methods, and the final presentation form is "image" or "image + sound". In addition, in order to overcome the physical defects of the photosensitive unit and the amount of light entering the lens, current mainstream photography feature phones often take multiple photos through a "stack" method to obtain one photo with the best effect. Some brands of mobile phones, after entering the photography function, do not require the user to press the shooting button, but secretly run video recording in the background to ensure that potential shooting opportunities are not missed.In other words, for mobile phones, the distinction between photo taking and video recording functions is becoming increasingly blurred. Therefore, we believe that taking pictures belongs to the category of "video recording".
Some viewers believe that during movie screenings, ordinary photos or videos are not disseminated for profit. They are just shared on social networks or saved by oneself, which does not bring obvious losses to the film studio, or even Promoting the film! First of all, the law has clear prohibitive provisions, and if the law prohibits it, you cannot do it. Secondly, for key scenes/key information, often a static picture or a fragment of a line is enough to cause devastating leaks. If you want to share the film content on social media, it is recommended to use officially released posters, stills, trailers, or posters displayed in theaters. At the same time, it will not affect the viewing experience of other viewers by raising the mobile phone screen to take pictures. Lawyer
suggested that when the country introduces regulations and technologies to crack down on infringements, viewers themselves should also develop good viewing habits.
