1. What are the civil liabilities for copyright infringement
1. Civil liability: stop the infringement; eliminate the impact; apologize; compensate for losses, etc. (Initiation method: the infringed party files a lawsuit with the people's court with jurisdiction).
2. Legal basis: According to Article 217 of my country's "Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China": for the purpose of profit, there is one of the following copyright infringement circumstances , if the amount of illegal gains is large or there are other serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention, and also or solely a fine; if the amount of illegal gains is huge or there are other particularly serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years and not more than seven years , and impose a fine.
2. Criteria for identification of copyright infringement
1. There are facts of infringement. That is, the perpetrator uses the copyright owner's works, as well as performances, audio-visual products, and radio and television programs without the permission of the copyright owner and without complying with the conditions of use stipulated in the copyright law. Copyright infringement does not require the consent of the author or other copyright holders, nor does it fall under fair use or statutory use. This is unauthorized use of the work, and is therefore a violation of copyright law. This kind of infringement may not only cause damage to the personal rights of others, but also damage the property rights of others, and may also damage the personal rights and property rights of others at the same time;
2. The behavior is illegal. Copyright is an absolute right, and everyone has the obligation not to infringe upon that right. Others must abide by copyright law and other relevant legal provisions when using copyrighted works. If an actor violates the provisions of the law, his behavior is illegal. As for works that are not protected by my country's copyright law, works that have not been copyrighted, or "works" that have entered the public domain, there is no infringement issue when others use them.
