"As a video website, does it really not know what users upload?
For example, the copyright of "Crazy Stone" is not open, but this movie is available on almost every video website. Obviously, blocking a few keywords in the background can restrict illegal uploads by so-called users. Is this technically difficult?
?Is the cost high?
But those video websites simply won’t do this for the sake of traffic.
Once caught, the responsibility is put on the user, and the website takes no responsibility. The infringers are protected, but the defenders are subject to various restrictions..."
In the TV show, Yu Jiajia, the president of 99 Entertainment, talked freely and looked like a victim.
Then the show started to come together:
"Under the banner of user uploads, you can evade infringement liability. This provision is called a safe harbor clause in the industry... But is this really the case? After several rounds of searches, the reporter found several editors who were willing to be interviewed and listened to them.
What did you say, and what is the truth?”
The scene turned and Tan Xiaolin appeared with a mosaic on her face.
It's the kind you often see, where the person involved is sitting sideways in front of the camera, his face is fully painted, his voice has been processed, and xxx editor is written next to it.
"Do you have to upload 30 videos every day?"
"Yes, this is linked to our performance. We will register some small accounts and pretend to be netizens to upload movies, TV shows, animations and other content. Because these clicks are high, the website will have traffic."
"Besides uploading it internally, is there any other way?"
"Alternatively, you can hire someone to upload it, or develop more advanced software to automatically upload it."
Immediately afterwards, two people from Youku and 56 also appeared on the scene, exposing their old club with great righteousness.
This is not over yet, the program team continues to work:
"During our in-depth investigation, we also discovered something even more shocking. These are some screenshots of videos saved by reporters, openly selling pornography, bloody violence and other content, and even uploading entire pornographic movies without any trace of
Covered up, there is no sign of supervision on the website.”
"These videos are usually very popular and have the highest number of clicks. If this was an oversight by the website and was not discovered in time, it would be a bit unjustifiable."
The program team posted screenshots of the coding. Through the mosaic, it seemed that the traffic jam behind them could be seen. The scene was tragic...
This is the killer feature!
Since the law gives video websites a "safe haven", OK, we are not going to talk to you about this. We focus on talking about pornography! Spreading obscene videos!
This is not something that can be fooled by an oversight.
At the end of the program, he also appealed:
"The current situation is that a strange paradox has emerged. Is it more important to protect an emerging industry or to maintain copyright? To what extent can the law be enforced to not only protect the copyright owner, but also meet the development of the video industry..."
After the CCTV 2 program was broadcast, the 13th program "Rule of Law Online" also came to talk about this matter from a legal perspective.
In the non-video era, TV stations are domineering masters. Whatever is copyrighted or not, you can take it! The lawsuit between CCTV and Chen Peisi is a representative example.
But in the video era, TV stations have also become the target of infringement. For example, CCTV has a "CCTV Network", and the content on it is often moved and pirated. Of course, we must take advantage of this opportunity.
As a result, things got out of hand.
First of all, the relevant departments are very passive. 83 copyright owners sued 400 websites, and they were even blamed by CCTV. What do you mean? It just shows that they have failed in their work and have serious loopholes in their policies.
Secondly, the public security department also got involved because someone actually reported it.
“Youku, Tudou, 56 and other websites were reported to be pornographic!”
Then these panicked websites finally ushered in the violent storm they imagined, only to find that they had no ability to withstand the blow.
It’s just a video, a single industry, and its power is too weak.
………………
At this point, it's not just a matter of infringement.
Relevant departments came forward to respond and stated that they would study and introduce new regulations as soon as possible to address the various problems of video websites.
The safe harbor clause cannot control pornographic or even reactionary videos, which is very embarrassing for the department. It is also a time to test the political sensitivity of the management of each website and the government's public relations capabilities.
Youku headquarters.
Koo Yongqiang also had the experience of studying and working in the United States. He worked in an investment institution in his early days. Later he met Zhang Chaoyang and joined Sohu as the second-in-command. Later, he went on his own and established Youku.com.
This person is very capable and has achieved excellent results in both Sohu and Youku. However, after Youku was acquired by Alibaba, he disappeared or was ignored.
Over the years, he has accumulated a lot of capital and connections with the government. After seeing the CCTV news, he immediately began to sway people.
Sure enough, the following storms came one after another until they landed on "reporting".
Youku managed to survive without any danger. On Tudou, Wang Wei also quickly rectified the problem very sharply and escaped. 56 was not so lucky.
The founder of 56 is Zhou Juan, who used to be a senior executive of NetEase.
She may not have enough political sensitivity or public relations skills. It is said that the public security and network management departments went to the computer room and unplugged the line and left. However, no one in the entire 56 company realized that they were being reorganized. The technical team thought they had been hacked...
The result comes out:
"56.com has been closed for a month for rectification. It may be pornographic or reactionary video review error!"
(By the way, in reality, the 56 network was indeed blocked for a month, resulting in falling behind...)
well!
Gu Yongqiang is in a complicated mood. 56.com has been completely destroyed, and he will not be able to catch up in the future. He will mercilessly cannibalize the other party's users, and will also respond with empathy and compassion.
A wave of severe crackdowns is emerging, just like the "clean net" of later generations of Internet articles.
By this time, any fool would know that someone is up to something.
"Hello, Mr. Gu?"
At this moment, he suddenly received a call from Wang Wei. The other person came up and said: "He is trying to kill us!"
"Do you have any idea?"
"It must be a trap set up by the 99 Group. I want to find Xiong Xiaoge and Xu Xin to meet Mr. Yao. Do you want to come with me?"
"Of course, this is an industry-wide matter, and I'm just trying to talk to that person to see what he wants to do."
"Okay, then I'll arrange a time."
The phone hung up.
IDG and Capital Today are both shareholders of Tudou, so Wang Wei said to find Xiong Xiaoge and Xu Xin.
This is often the case when the capital behind the investment is intertwined, and investors will sometimes help to connect or even directly act as lobbyists to solve some problems.
…………
At the same time, Yingshi Building.
Yao Yuan was also answering a phone call from the secretary of the "mysterious boss" he was looking for.
Yao Yuan hummed with a correct attitude, curled his lips after hanging up, and Yin Yin asked curiously: "What did he tell you?"
"You said I made too much noise this time. Don't do it blindly. It will make the relevant departments very embarrassed. Give them some time and new regulations should be introduced next year."
"That's not enough, we have to stop it in moderation."
"Of course, I'm not a vicious person..."
Yao Yuan shrugged and said, "I just want to protect my legitimate rights and interests."
