As an intellectual property right, copyright is based on literary, artistic and scientific works. According to the provisions of copyright law and other laws, the obligee enjoys inalienable personal rights and property rights, mainly including the right to publish, the right to sign, the right to modify, the right to protect the integrity of the work, the right to use and the right to receive remuneration.

The rights and interests related to copyright also include the neighboring rights of works owned by publishers, performers and producers of audio and video recordings. As far as the "business activities" of Xu and others are concerned, copying more than 5 million copies of written works for profit without the permission of others has violated the legal provisions of copyright protection.

As far as this case is concerned, Xu and others should bear civil liability first. They use professional technology to build pirated websites, rent servers, copy other people's works at will for profit without authorization, and infringe the copyrights of more than 30 genuine websites such as palm reading, starting reading and text reading. Cooperating with many advertising alliance companies, the illegal profit was 1000000 yuan, and the copyright owner suffered huge losses.

According to the relevant provisions of the Tort Liability Law, the infringer shall bear civil liabilities such as stopping the infringement, eliminating the influence, publicly apologizing and compensating for the losses.

As for the determination of the amount of compensation for infringement, the main basis is Article 48 of the Copyright Law that "the infringer shall pay compensation according to the actual loss of the obligee", "If the actual loss is difficult to calculate, the infringer may pay compensation according to the illegal income of the infringer", and the amount of compensation should also include "the reasonable expenses paid by the obligee to stop the infringement".
