China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) Releases 48th Statistical Report on China's Internet Development in Beijingdisplayed in, asIn June 2021, the number of Internet users in China reached 1.011 billion,China short video user scaleThe total number of netizens87.8%。Short video is constantly related to our daily life. Every short video user can create his own works, but the video quality can not be guaranteed. In the process of industry development, there are many problems involving infringement.

For example,10Month11On the 15th, the Meilan District Court of Haikou City announced a reputation infringement dispute case. It was because a user on a short video platform posted two short videos on the platform that had insulting words to a technology company in Haikou. The user's remarks were unilateral subjective and malicious evaluations, which seriously affected the normal operation of a technology company in Haikou, however, because the short video platform is not strict with the user's access control, it is unable to provide the user's real identity information. In the end, the short video platform bears the compensation liability caused by the user's infringement and deletes the infringing short video in time.

In addition to the infringement problem mentioned in this case, there are still serious plagiarism in the short video. For example, some high-quality short videos are used without the permission of the original author."Porter" and "Scissors Hand" are slightly processed, and after simple removal of the head and tail, and adaptation of the details, they are transformed into their own works to attract traffic. There are also some operations, such as large-scale editing and comments on important materials of audio-visual works, mixing and cutting of multiple film and television works, and dubbing of unauthorized song soundtracks to form new works. The above operations are likely to be identified as "inappropriate references" and cause infringement of the copyright of the original author.

With the influx of capital, the short video industry has begun to transition to the direction of professional operation. These chaos have naturally become an important factor hindering its development.

Short video infringement continues to circulate. For the obligees who have paid high production and procurement costs, the loss of interests will eventually lead to the exhaustion of the source of content innovation. In the long run, China's cultural industry will also lose the core development driving force of content innovation. Whether it is for the protection of the rights and interests of content obligees or the development of the entire cultural industry, we must pay attention to the protection of short video copyright, short video platforms should take higher responsibility for torts and bear tort liability when they fail to fulfill their corresponding obligations.
