Beijing quickly adjudicated the case of producing and selling pirated Bingdundun and Xuerongrong. How was the suspect sentenced?

Beijing quickly sentenced the suspect to one year in prison and a fine of 40,000 yuan in the case of producing and selling pirated copies of Bingdundun and Xuerongrong. This is the first criminal case involving copyright in the Winter Olympics mascot image in the country.

Bingdundun and Xuerongrong, the annual top hits in 2022, are so popular that peripheral products are out of stock. We are worried that businesses will seize the demand of this market and produce and sell pirated Winter Olympics. The meeting mascots are "Bingdundun" and "Xuerongrong". During this period, the National Copyright Administration has been tightening its grip on unauthorized merchants producing and selling pirated mascots.

The quick investigation, quick prosecution, and quick punishment of this case in February 2022 will serve as a warning to the monkeys. Merchants must consider the consequences when making or selling pirated mascots in the future. , after all, there are lessons learned here.

In addition to this case, as of February 12, according to statistics, major video platforms, social platforms, search engines, etc., have deleted more than 50,000 infringing links related to the Winter Olympics. There are more than 3,000 accounts dealing with copyright issues at the Winter Olympics. There are also websites suspected of illegally broadcasting the Winter Olympics. Several overseas websites and 52 domestic websites have been closed.

It is worth noting that related works used for personal study, research, appreciation, or for news transfer and other scenarios are fair use, and other uses without authorization and permission are All may constitute infringement, not to mention being used to obtain related benefits.

Thus, although Xue Rongrong and Bing Dundun are very popular and are "top trend", the popularity of top trend is not something that everyone can take advantage of, nor can it be used in every situation. I hope this case After that, everyone will learn more about the Copyright Law to avoid administrative penalties or even crimes due to infringement.

Although the cute mascot is cute, it is really difficult to own it. All online and offline channels have been sold out. No wonder some businesses will seize this market demand and hope that the production factory will ship it as soon as possible. , work hard on production, as soon as possible, each household will have one Bingdundun, and each person will have one Xuerongrong~
