Four Seasons Talk | What is infringement?

Give an example

When I first entered the media, I produced a music program (now off the air) to introduce the live performances of concerts around the world. At that time, I negotiated a cooperation method with a very well-known domestic record company. The record company provided the music films, and I was responsible for Find professional musicians for interviews and introductions, and broadcast live performances through radio programs.

When I was making a recording of a program, my musician friend who was recording the program with me said to me, "Oh, this record company can't do it! Look, the introduction of the concert and the track are all the introductions I wrote in the magazine before, too. Exaggerated!"

My friend showed me the Chinese commentary on the album's shell, then drew it down with a pen, and said as he drew, "This part, this part, this part, and the next part! Why didn't you tell me? It's time to spank!"

Afterwards, I did some serious calculations. It was about 1 or 2 hundred words before and after, which is really not much. The whole introduction of the whole recording was about 6 or 7 hundred words. However, the musician really called The record company asked if it was licensed? As a result, the record company couldn't answer at all. It turned out to be an excerpt and used it without telling it. In the end, knowing that it was wrong, it had to reconcile with the musician in private, otherwise it might be brought to court and fined more. (As far as I know: the content of the settlement is provided free of charge to all music and video publications of the musician for 10 years)

Speaking of this, perhaps all citizens and friends will ask: Why did the musician know that he was plagiarized?

The reason is very simple, because that concert was held in the country where he was studying, and there was only one music magazine in Taiwan at that time (which later closed down), and he was the only one who contributed and wrote the live introduction there. When he was studying, all manuscripts were faxed. Yes, the Internet is not yet developed, so it's not who his writing will be. Later, the record company also admitted the mistake and reconciled with him.

There was a very popular Chinese film many years ago: Cape No. 7 , director Wei Desheng's famous masterpiece, the soundtrack is also quite fascinating and highly recognizable! As a result, some advertisers hope to match this music, but don't want to spend money, they want to say that it should be fine if it only takes a few seconds! So I used it, and it was upscaled, and it worked great! As a result, less than a day after the release, the phone came and pointed out: a certain advertisement used a seven-second soundtrack, and asked whether the advertising agency had obtained the right to reproduce it?

Of course not!

So the fax came, one thousand in one second, seven thousand in seven seconds. Another bloody lesson!

What I'm trying to say is that writing is a good thing! No matter what the content is, it is my own brainchild. Similarly, I encourage my child to write. Even when he finishes an article, I have to read it first, and even some knowledgeable texts I will ask him if he is Where did it come from? Are there any citations or from which article? Be careful not to plagiarize your writing, to innovate your own content, and not to do illegal things.

My child is nine years old.

The example I provide is what happened in my workplace, and remember! Don't come and challenge me! I will not be polite to you!
