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.

For celebrities with widespread influence like Joker Xue, the number of dynamic views and influence posted on social media are much greater than that of ordinary people. Their words and deeds are also magnified in the public eye, and public figures have to bear a heavier burden. Duties of care and responsibilities.

If illegal filming occurs and is pursued by the film producer, the illegal photographer may bear civil liability: the illegal photographer may need to compensate the film producer for the economic losses suffered due to illegal photography, including but not limited to box office revenue, copyright fees, etc. Poaching may violate relevant administrative regulations, and robbers may be subject to administrative penalties, such as fines, license revocation, etc. If the act of stealing constitutes a crime, the person who took the picture may be held criminally responsible.

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. .
