| Basic Facts | | 基本案情 |
| In respect of the dispute over the right of work communication through information network between the plaintiff Beijing Microlive Vision Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Beijing Microlive Vision”) and the defendants Baidu Online Network Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Baidu Online”) and Beijing Baidu Netcom Science and Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Baidu Netcom”), the Court has accepted the case, applied ordinary procedures which include evidence exchanges, pre-trial meetings, etc., and convened a public court session on Oct. 30, 2018.

This case is decided now. | | 原告北京微播視界科技有限公司（以下簡稱微播視界公司）與被告百度在線網絡技術（北京）有限公司（以下簡稱百度在線公司）、被告百度網訊科技有限公司（以下簡稱百度網訊公司）侵害作品信息網絡傳播權糾紛一案，本院受理後，依法適用普通程序，經過證據交換、庭前會議等程序，于2018年10月30日公開開庭進行了審理。原告微播視界公司的委托訴訟代理人宋雪佼、楊和平，二被告百度在線公司、百度網訊公司的共同委托訴訟代理人望開雄、譚紅娟到庭參加了訴訟。本案現已審理終結。 |
| The plaintiff prays as follows: 1. To order the two defendants immediately stop the infringement of the plaintiff's copyright and stop providing the online playing and download service of the alleged infringing short video; 2. To order the two defendants post a statement for 24 consecutive hours at a conspicuous place on the website homepage of Baidu.com (www.baidu.com) and the homepage of Huopai client to eliminate ill effects within three days from the date this judgment takes effect; 3. To order the two defendants compensate the plaintiff for economic loss of RMB one million and reasonable expenses of RMB 50,000. | | 原告向本院提出訴訟請求：1.判令二被告立即停止對原告著作權的侵害，停止提供被控侵權短視頻的在線播放及下載服務；2.判令二被告在本案判決生效之日起三日內，在百度網網站首頁（www.baidu.com）及夥拍小視頻客戶端首頁顯著位置連續二十四小時刊登聲明，消除影響；3.判令二被告賠償原告經濟損失100萬元及合理支出5萬元。 |
| Facts and reason: The website and mobile app of Douyin (collectively, “Douyin Platform”) is an original short video sharing platform legally owned and operated by the plaintiff. “Black Face V (黑臉V)” is a well-known verified user on the Douyin Platform who is very well received by users on the platform for his imaginative and uniquely designed image and video works. He has been followed by 26.37 million fans. His every work has a high click and like rate. The short video “On May 12, I Want to Tell You” published on May 12, 2018 (hereinafter referred to as the short video “I Want to Tell You”) was independently created and uploaded by "Black Face V". The 13-second short video is a work that is done through design, arrangement, editing, performance, etc. in the memory of the tenth anniversary of the Wenchuan Earthquake. Once published, the work was widely praised by netizens and got more than 2.8 million likes. It became a work created by a method that is similar to filmmaking (hereinafter referred to as “film-like work”). With the authorization of "Black Face V", the plaintiff lawfully enjoys the worldwide and exclusive right to communicate the short video “I Want to Tell You” through information network and the exclusive right of right protection in the name of the plaintiff. | | 事實和理由：抖音短視頻網站和手機軟件（合稱抖音平台）系由原告合法擁有並運營的原創短視頻分享平台。“黑臉V”是抖音平台上知名的大“V”用戶，以其充滿想象力、獨具設計感的人物形象和視頻作品，在抖音平台上深受用戶喜愛，已經獲得了2637萬粉絲關注，其每部作品也都具有很高的點擊量和獲贊數量。2018年5月12日，抖音平台上發布的“5.12，我想對你說”短視頻（以下簡稱“我想對你說”短視頻），系由“黑臉V”獨立創作完成並上傳，該短視頻是在13秒的時長內，通過設計、編排、剪輯、表演等手法綜合形成的作品，充分表達了對汶川地震十周年的緬懷。作品一經發布就受到了網民的廣泛贊譽，點贊量達到280多萬，成為以類似攝制電影的方法創作的作品（以下簡稱類電作品）。經“黑臉V”合法授權，原告依法對“我想對你說”短視頻在全球範圍內享有獨家排他的信息網絡傳播權及以原告名義進行獨家維權的權利。 |
| Baidu Online and Baidu Netcom are respectively the developers of Huopai mobile app for the Android and iOS systems. The two defendants jointly provide users with download, installation, operation, and update and maintenance of relevant functions of Huopai mobile app, and advertise and promote the app. Without the permission of the plaintiff, the two defendants arbitrarily disseminated the short video “I Want to Tell You” on Huopai and provided download and sharing services, thus attracting a large number of online users to browse and watch on Huopai and infringing the plaintiff's right of communication through information network in respect of the short video “I Want to Tell You”. Moreover, the watermarks of Douyin and user ID are not displayed on the alleged infringing short video. Hence the two defendants inevitably removed the watermarks, so there is intention to destroy the plaintiff's technical measures. This behavior constitutes an infringement of the plaintiff's right of communication through information network. The two defendants' above two behaviors caused great economic losses to the plaintiff and negative influence on the reputation of the plaintiff. The court is requested to support all the plaintiff's claims. During the trial, the plaintiff acknowledged that the alleged infringing short video had been deleted, and relinquished the claim of “to order the two defendants immediately stop the infringement of the plaintiff's copyright and stop providing services for the online display and download of the alleged infringing short video”. | | 百度在線公司為夥拍小視頻手機軟件Android系統的開發者，百度網訊公司為夥拍小視頻手機軟件iOS系統的開發者，二被告共同向用戶提供夥拍小視頻手機軟件的下載、安裝、運營和相關功能的更新、維護，並對夥拍小視頻手機軟件進行宣傳和推廣。二被告未經原告許可，擅自將“我想對你說”短視頻在夥拍小視頻上傳播並提供下載、分享服務，從而吸引大量的網絡用戶在夥拍小視頻上瀏覽觀看，侵害了原告對“我想對你說”短視頻享有的信息網絡傳播權。同時，被控侵權短視頻上未顯示抖音和用戶ID的水印，二被告必然實施了消除上述水印的行為，存在破壞原告相關技術措施的故意，此行為亦構成對原告信息網絡傳播權的侵犯。二被告上述兩項行為，給原告造成了極大的經濟損失，並給原告的聲譽造成了影響，懇請法院支持原告的全部訴訟請求。訴訟過程中，原告認可被控侵權短視頻已被刪除，放棄“請求判令二被告立即停止對原告著作權的侵害，停止提供被控侵權短視頻的在線播放及下載服務”的訴訟請求。 |
| The two defendants jointly argued that they disagree to the plaintiff's claims and should not bear the legal responsibility claimed by the plaintiff for the following reasons. First, the short video “I Want to Tell You” is not original and does not constitute a work under the protection of copyright law. The idea expressed in the short video is no different from that of other users who imitate gesture dance and upload short videos. Hence it's not original and cannot meet the requirements on originality of film-like works. The video lasts only 13 seconds. The creation space is limited. The materials mainly come from the demonstration video of Party Media Platform with few independent creation factors. There is no selection or screening in the shooting of the materials, and the selection and arrangement of the frames. It can hardly form the originality of film-like works by using software to cut out figure images. There are a lot of short videos on the Internet that are similar to or identical with the short video “I Want to Tell You”. And the performer is not the right holder himself. Second, the plaintiff and the defendants are inappropriate subjects. The authorizer claimed by the plaintiff is not the author or right holder of the short video “I Want to Tell You”. Hence the plaintiff does not have the right to sue the two defendants. The second defendant Baidu Netcom is responsible for operating Huopai mobile app and the first defendant Baidu Online is only the registered developer of the software. Therefore, the first defendant Baidu Online is not an appropriate defendant in the case. Third, the second defendant Baidu Netcom should not bear the legal liability claimed by the plaintiff on the following grounds. 1. Huopai mobile app only provides information storage services. The short videos on it are uploaded by netizens themselves, and the alleged infringing short video was uploaded by Huopai's registered user ID451670; 2. Baidu Netcom has indicated clearly in the user agreement that it is not allowed to upload content that infringes on the intellectual property rights or other rights of others, and also has informed rights holders of the complaint methods and channels. Baidu Netcom has fulfilled the prompt and management obligations according to law; 3. After receiving the valid complaint from the plaintiff, Baidu Netcom deleted the video in a timely manner. It has no fault and should not bear civil liability; 4. The plaintiff's claims lack factual and legal basis. The economic loss of RMB one million claimed by the plaintiff is estimated based on the counts of view, forwarding, and likes on Douyin, which can be operated by the plaintiff. So the claim on economic loss lacks authenticity. The liability-bearing means “eliminating ill effects” is not applicable to infringement of property rights. Its claim for publishing a statement to eliminate ill effects lacks legal basis. To sum up, the Court is requested to dismiss all the plaintiff's claims in accordance with law. | | 二被告共同辯稱：我方不同意原告的訴訟請求，不應當承擔原告訴請的法律責任。理由如下：一、“我想對你說”短視頻不具有獨創性，不構成著作權法保護的作品。該短視頻表達的思想與其他模仿手勢舞並上傳短視頻的用戶沒有差異性，不具有獨創性，達不到類電作品的獨創性高度要求。該視頻時長僅為13秒，創作空間小，主要素材均來自于黨媒平台的示範視頻，獨立創作因素少；在素材的拍攝、拍攝畫面的選擇和編排上，不存在選擇或者篩選的情況；使用軟件將人物圖像進行摳圖處理的方式很難構成類電作品的獨創性高度；在網絡上存在大量的與“我想對你說”短視頻類似或者相同的短視頻；參與表演的人物並不是原權利人本人。二、原告主體和被告主體有不適格的情形。原告所稱的授權人不是“我想對你說”短視頻的作者或者權利人，原告沒有起訴二被告的權利基礎；被告二百度網訊公司負責運營夥拍小視頻手機軟件，被告一百度在線公司僅是該軟件登記的開發者，因此，被告一百度在線公司不是本案的適格被告。三、被告二百度網訊公司不應當承擔原告訴請的法律責任。1.夥拍小視頻手機軟件僅提供信息存儲空間服務，其上的短視頻都是網民自行上傳的，被控侵權短視頻是夥拍小視頻手機軟件的注冊用戶ID451670上傳的；2.百度網訊公司在用戶協議中明確提示不得上傳侵犯他人知識產權或其他權利的內容，亦告知了權利人投訴方式和渠道，百度網訊公司已經依法履行了法律規定的提示和管理義務；3.百度網訊公司在收到原告的有效投訴後，已經及時進行了刪除處理，不存在過錯，不應當承擔民事責任。四、原告的訴訟請求缺乏事實和法律依據。原告所訴稱的100萬的經濟損失是依據抖音平台的播放量、轉發量、點贊量估算的，這些數據是原告可以操作的，其經濟損失主張缺乏真實性；消除影響的責任承擔方式不適用侵害財產權利，其要求刊登聲明消除影響的訴訟請求沒有法律依據。綜上，請求法院依法駁回原告的全部訴訟請求。 |
| Judgement Reasoning | | 裁判理由 |
| The parties submitted evidence to support their claims. The court organized the parties involved to conduct evidence exchange and cross-examination. Based on the statements of the parties and the evidence that has been verified through examination, the Court ascertains facts as follows. | | 當事人圍繞訴訟請求依法提交了證據，本院組織當事人進行了證據交換和質證。根據當事人陳述和經審查確認的證據，本院認定事實如下： |
| I. Facts on the Plaintiff and the Defendants | | 一、關于原告和被告主體的相關事實 |
| (I) Facts on the Plaintiff | | （一）原告主體的相關事實 |
| 1. The plaintiff is the operator of Douyin (domain name: douyin.com) and Douyin mobile app (for Android system and iOS system). | | 1.原告是抖音平台即抖音網（域名為douyin.com）及抖音短視頻手機軟件(Android系統和iOS系統)的運營者。 |
| 2. On May 29, 2018, Xie (the authorizer) issued an authorization confirmation to the plaintiff (the authorized) to grant the plaintiff worldwide, exclusive, irrevocable, and transferable right of communication through information network (i.e., the right of communication through information network and the rights related thereto) to publish all the contents posted in his Douyin account from January 1, 2018 to January 1, 2019, and authorized the plaintiff to independently protect rights in the name of the authorized. The authorizer no longer claims rights procedurally or substantially. | | 2.2018年5月29日，謝某（授權方）向原告（被授權方）出具授權確認書，將其在抖音賬號中發布的所有內容在2018年1月1日-2019年1月1日期間內授予被授權方全球範圍內、獨家排他的、不可撤銷的、可轉授權的，通過信息網絡進行傳播的權利（即信息網絡傳播權及與信息網絡傳播有關的權利），並授權被授權方以被授權方之名義單獨維權，授權方從程序上和實體上均不再主張權利。 |
| 3. According to the background information with Douyin, the user with the Douyin account number 145651081 is nicknamed “Black Face V”, whose registration information includes mobile phone number but the real name and identity information. The background information with Toutiao shows the information of the operator of Toutiao account “Black Face V” includes the name Xie, a half-figure photo, ID card photo and mobile number, etc. The mobile numbers in the background registration information of the above two platforms are the same. | | 3.抖音平台後台信息顯示，抖音號為145651081的用戶昵稱為“黑臉V”，注冊信息中包括手機號碼，但不包括真實姓名、身份信息等。今日頭條後台信息顯示，頭條號“黑臉V”的運營者信息中包括姓名謝某、半身照、身份證照片及綁定手機號碼等信息。上述兩個平台的後台注冊信息中手機號碼一致。 |
| During the trial, outsiders Xie and Lei participated in the lawsuit. The two defendants requested to disclose the real name of Xie. Xie specifically submitted a confidentiality application to the Court, saying that publishing the real name of the operator of the “Black Face V” account will destroy the deliberately designed and maintained mystery, and thus reducing the appeal to the netizens and damaging his legitimate rights and interests. The Court verified Xie's personal information including real name during the trial. Whether to disclose his real name does not affect the trial of the case, the exercise of the procedural rights of both parties, and public interest. Therefore, the Court respected his wishes, and hided personal information such as the real name of Xie and Lei in the public court session and this judgment. | | 本案審理過程中，案外人謝某、雷某參與了訴訟活動。二被告要求公開謝某的真實姓名。謝某向本院專門提交了保密申請，稱公開“黑臉V”賬戶運營者的真實姓名等情況，將破壞其刻意設計和保持的神秘感，從而降低對網民的吸引力，影響其合法權益。本院在審理中已經核實了謝某的真實姓名等個人信息，是否披露其真實姓名不影響本案的正常審理，不影響雙方當事人訴訟權利的行使，亦不影響公共利益。故本院尊重其意願，在公開庭審及本案判決書中均隱去謝某、雷某的真實姓名等個人信息。 |
| Xie, under the witness of the notary public, logged in the aforementioned “Black Face V” account of Toutiao mobile app and Douyin mobile app by entering the above mobile number and corresponding verification code. The two defendants claimed that the owner of the above mobile number should be Lei, so the “Black Face V” user should be Lei, not Xie. In addition, the confidentiality application signed by Xie was sent by post to the Court by Lei. To find out relevant facts, the court informed Xie and Lei to create a real-name account on the Court's e-litigation platform to accept questioning. Lei admitted to be the owner of the above mobile number, but said the user of the number is Xie and that he is irrelevant with the “Black Face V” account and the production and rights of the short video “I Want to Tell You”. Xie said the “Black Face V” account involved in the case was registered and used by him, and the short video “I Want to Tell You” was also filmed and produced by him. He confirmed that the signatures on the Introduction to the Creation of the Video “On May 12, I Want to Tell You” and the authorization confirmation were his and recognized the contents of the aforementioned documents in its entirety. | | 謝某在公證人員的見證下，通過輸入上述手機號碼及相應驗證碼，分別登錄了今日頭條手機軟件和抖音短視頻手機軟件的前述“黑臉V”賬號。二被告主張上述手機號碼的機主為雷某，“黑臉V”用戶應為雷某，並非謝某。另，謝某簽署的保密申請系雷某郵寄至本院。為查明相關事實，本院通知謝某和雷某實名注冊本院電子訴訟平台賬號在線接受詢問。雷某認可其系上述手機號碼的機主，該手機號碼使用者為謝某，涉案“黑臉V”賬戶與其無關，“我想對你說”短視頻的制作、權利亦與其無關。謝某稱涉案“黑臉V”賬戶由其注冊、使用，“我想對你說”短視頻由其拍攝、制作，認可原告提交法院的《“5.12我想對你說”視頻創作情況說明》和授權確認書上的簽字系其本人所簽，亦認可前述文件的全部內容。 |
| (II) Facts on the Defendants | | （二）被告主體的相關事實 |
| The registration information at the app store (Android and iOS systems) shows: Baidu Online is a developer of Huopai mobile app (for Android system), and Baidu Netcom is the developer of the app for iOS system. No other subject information such as operator is displayed. The two defendants asserted that both the operators of the above two versions are Baidu Netcom, and Baidu Online does not participate in the operation. As for the display in the registration information at the app store that the developer of the iOS version is Baidu Online, the two defendants explained that they registered the developer of partial products as Baidu Online because the country has set a limit on the number of mobile apps under each subject account, and that the user agreement of Huopai mobile app also has indicated the service provider is Baidu Netcom. | | 應用商店（Android系統和iOS系統）登記信息顯示：百度在線公司系夥拍小視頻手機軟件Android系統的開發者，百度網訊公司系iOS系統的開發者。未顯示經營者等其他主體信息。二被告稱，上述兩個系統的經營者均為百度網訊公司，百度在線公司不參與經營。對于應用商店登記信息中顯示Android系統的開發者為百度在線公司，二被告解釋為，因國家對每個主體帳戶下的手機軟件有數量限制，故將部分產品的開發者登記在百度在線公司名下；夥拍小視頻手機軟件的用戶協議中亦告知用戶提供服務的相對方為百度網訊公司。 |
| The above facts can be proved by the screenshots of ICP filing information inquiry and the home page of Douyin website submitted by the plaintiff, the screenshot of the developer information of Douyin mobile app (for Android and iOS systems), the authorization letter issued by Xie, the notarial certificate numbered (2018) J. D. F. N. M. Z. Z. No. 10028, the notarial certificate numbered (2018) Y. G. N. Y. No. 8614, the screenshot of the developer information of Huopai mobile app (for Android and iOS systems) and the corresponding block chain evidence collection certificate, as well as the parties' statements and records. | | 以上事實，有原告提交的ICP備案信息查詢、抖音網站首頁截圖、抖音手機軟件（Android系統和iOS系統）開發者信息截圖、謝某出具的授權書、（2018）京東方內民證字第10028號公證書、（2018）粵廣南粵第8614號公證書、夥拍小視頻手機軟件（Android系統和iOS系統）開發者信息截圖及相應的區塊鏈取證證書，當事人陳述及筆錄等在案佐證。 |
| II. Facts on the Short Video “I Want to Tell you” | | 二、關于“我想對你說”短視頻的相關事實 |
| (I) The Background of the Production of the Short Video “I Want to Tell you” | | （一）“我想對你說”短視頻的制作背景 |
| On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the Wenchuan Earthquake, the National Party Media Information Public Platform (hereinafter referred to as the “Party Media Platform”) joined hands with people.cn as well as nearly 100 party media to jointly launch an interactive activity themed “bear in mind the martyrdom, pay tribute to rebirth, and devote our strength to move forward” in order to commemorate the Wenchuan Earthquake with actions. By cooperating with the social media platform Douyin, the activity launched the topic # On May 12, I Want to Tell You# on the platform to invite netizens to relay the initiative in the form of gesture dance and remember the Wenchuan Earthquake with personalized expression. | | 汶川特大地震十周年之際，全國黨媒信息公共平台（以下簡稱黨媒平台）聯合人民網，攜手近百家黨媒單位，共同發起以“銘記劫難，致敬重生，以己之力，勇往直前”為主題的大型互動活動，倡議以實際行動紀念汶川大地震。互動活動與抖音短視頻社交平台合作，在站內發起某5.12，我想對你說某話題，邀請網友用手勢舞的形式接力倡議，用個性化的表達緬懷汶川地震。 |

He is praying with gesture dance. After the pray, the lens zooms from near to far. The crack becomes healed, poles stand up, green trees line up, blue sky and white clouds reappear, and the performer's sleeves become red. The whole process is accompanied by music. The page also shows “@ Black Face V”, “2.815 M likes” and other information. The plaintiff also furnished the screenshot of the background information of the short video “I Want to Tell You” on September 5, 2018, which displays information including “2.811 M likes”. | | “我想對你說”短視頻整體時長為13秒，播放頁面顯示有“5.12，我想對你說讓我們把傷痛和災難銘記，把感動和祝福傳遞。致敬重生，惜福感恩！”的文字。視頻內容為一蒙面並穿黑色帽衫的男子站在天空灰暗、地面開裂、電線杆傾斜、樓宇殘破的廢墟中，用手勢舞進行祈福，祈福後，鏡頭由近及遠拉伸，地裂合攏、電線杆豎立、綠樹成排、藍天白雲重現、表演者衣袖變紅等畫面變化，整個過程伴隨音樂。在這個頁面上還同時顯示“@黑臉V”、點贊量“281.5w”等信息。原告另提交2018年9月5日“我想對你說”短視頻的後台信息截圖，顯示點贊量“281.1w”等信息。 |
