Network connection service providers are not responsible for the copyright infringement of others.
According to the provisions of Article 30, joint infringement liability with other perpetrators or those who directly commit the infringement shall be investigated.
A network service provider that provides content services knowingly knows that network users are committing acts of infringing upon the copyrights of others through the network, or has been warned by the copyright holder with solid evidence, but still If measures such as removing the infringing content are not taken to eliminate the consequences of the infringement, the People's Court shall, in accordance with Article 130 of the General Principles of the Civil Law, hold him and the network user liable for joint infringement.
It is unreasonable for a network service provider that provides content services to require the copyright holder to provide the infringer's registration information on its network in order to pursue the perpetrator's infringement liability. If the reason is refused to be provided, the people's court shall investigate the corresponding infringement liability in accordance with the provisions of Article 106 of the General Principles of the Civil Law.
The network service provider takes measures such as removing the allegedly infringing content after receiving a warning from the copyright owner with solid evidence. The alleged infringer requires the network service provider to bear the responsibility. The People's Court will not uphold liability for breach of contract.
If the copyright owner accuses the infringer of infringement untruthfully and the alleged infringer claims compensation for the losses caused by the measures taken by the network service provider, the people's court shall order that the person who issued the warning should person shall be liable for compensation.
