P, a reporter who has logged into Youku, found that some of the 7 videos involved could still be searched, and these pirated videos had dozens of seconds of advertising content before playing. It is clear that Youku has made a profit through these pirated videos.

It is reported that as early as 2009, Youku Internet was jointly charged by Sohu and many other copyright parties for piracy. In 2012, before the merger of Youku and potatoes, two videos, < a href= "//m.pmae.cn/" > website < /a >, were also in copyright dispute on copyright infringement.

The domestic film and television drama works are mainly from the United States listed companies. If pirated overseas blockbusters are likely to face international litigation with high compensation, they will also lead to a sharp decline in their share prices. Meanwhile, domestic copyright supervision and laws are lagging behind and the cost of piracy is very low. For example, in 2009, the Haidian court ruled that the total number of film and television dramas of Youku infringement was 47, but the total compensation was only 450 thousand yuan, with an average compensation of less than 10 thousand yuan per pirated product. But last year, Zhejiang Dongyang film and TV Culture Co., Ltd. filed a lawsuit against Youku potatoes for the infringement of popular films and television works. Insiders pointed out that at present, Youku and other video sites piracy trend has shifted from overseas blockbuster.

< p > industry experts believe that with the arrival of the era of mobile a href= "//m.pmae.cn/" and "Internet /a", there will be more and more cases of video copyright disputes. If video websites rely on piracy to reduce costs and profits, they will affect the healthy development of the whole industry.

By contrast, at the end of last year, video sites such as Baidu and Iqiyi jointly launched a "genuine video boost action" jointly with a number of copyright agencies. The purpose is to let all parties in the industrial chain work together to promote the healthy development of the online video industry and speed up the win-win cooperation between China's Internet industry and traditional culture and media industry.
