The High Court Released Legal Guidelines on Online Infringement

2010/08/12

The High Court in Beijing recently released guidelines for legal cases involving online TV series and movies. The court’s guidance said offering popular films, TV programs and music works on the home page or other major pages of a website without authorization - even if accompanied by listings of cinema and TV show times - should be recognized as infringement. In addition, enabling or offering video works on Bulletin Board Service (BBS for short) or other major website pages, and failure to remove them in a reasonable time, should also be found to violate intellectual property laws.

Websites can be held liable for extensive damages resulting from failure to remove infringing content. Almost 50 percent of the 1,800 copyright cases in the capital were related to the Internet last year.
