When will Scissorhands stop?
According to statistics, as of December 2021, the number of short video users in my country has reached 934 million.
With the explosive growth of online short videos, "bringing" is prevalent. Some "scissors" and "porters" move, edit, and disseminate without permission, and short video infringements frequently occur.
Strengthen the interpretation of the law by case
The existence of "scissor hands" and "porters" is to some extent related to these people's low awareness of copyright.
Therefore, publishing Guiding Cases and indicating the details of infringement acts can educate and warn a group of people while achieving the effect of publicizing the rule of law.
Relevant departments should screen representative infringement cases and interpret the law based on the cases, which should not only be displayed in a prominent position on the online platform, but also publicly announced to the public.

Special copyright protection

Short video creation should be included in the scope of copyright protection, and the public security, market supervision, cultural law enforcement and other departments should be jointly established to establish a copyright protection workstation, strengthen the supervision of online copyright law enforcement, carry out special copyright protection, and severely crack down on short videos, online live broadcasts and other fields. Infringement and piracy.

For blatant plagiarism, it is necessary to take heavy punches, make real moves, take multiple measures, and strictly rectify it.
Online platforms must be carefully checked, and such behaviors must be resolutely suspended, and a reporting and blacklist system should be established. For those who have serious infringements, their self-media qualifications should be cancelled to ensure the healthy and orderly development of online videos.
