original title: strengthen network governance according to law and strengthen network copyright protection
recently, the National copyright Administration, the State Network and Information Office, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the Ministry of Public Security jointly issued a circular to launch a special action to crack down on network infringement and piracy. On the afternoon of July 12, Yu Cike, director of the copyright Management Department of the National copyright Administration, accepted an exclusive interview with reporters on issues related to the launching of the "sword net" special operation. Yu Cike: since the beginning of this year, leading comrades of the CPC Central Committee have repeatedly given important instructions on strengthening the governance of cyberspace and strengthening online copyright protection in accordance with the law. The National copyright Administration, in conjunction with the State Internet Information Office, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the Ministry of Public Security, went deep into the investigation of Internet enterprises and held many special meetings to listen to the opinions of the network industry, right holders' organizations, local law enforcement departments, and experts and scholars. this paper analyzes the new situation and new problems facing the current Internet copyright protection, studies new measures and methods to strengthen the network copyright protection work, and draws up a work plan for the "sword net 2016" special operation. To sum up, the plan is to define one work goal, grasp two main lines of work, highlight three rectification tasks, strictly four work steps, and deploy six work measures. this year's special action should grasp two main lines of work: on the one hand, we should pay attention to the investigation and handling of cases, increase the intensity of administrative punishment and criminal transfer of online infringement and piracy cases, concentrate our efforts on quick investigation and quick handling, especially those infringing and pirated websites with serious infringement facts and great social impact should be investigated and dealt with strictly in accordance with the law and will not be tolerated. On the other hand, we should pay attention to the innovation of the working mechanism, and further improve the rapid response mechanism with the communications department, the joint supervision mechanism of multi-departments, the working mechanism of connecting the two laws with the public security department, and the inter-regional law enforcement cooperation and cooperation mechanism, so as to improve the efficiency of law enforcement. Reporter: the copyright issue of online literature has always received a high degree of social attention. What do you think are the difficulties in copyright protection of online literature? Yu Cike: by the end of last year, the number of online literature users reached 297 million, the number of contracted authors of online literature websites reached 2.5 million, the daily writing volume of works exceeded 150 million words, and the total number of original works exceeded 11.68 million. According to market evaluation institutions, the market size of online literature reached 7 billion yuan. However, because the network literature works take the text as the carrier, the storage and reproduction are convenient, the cost of infringement and piracy is low, the cycle is short, and the expansion is rapid, the problem of network literature infringement and piracy is still quite serious. In particular, the emerging new technologies and network applications, such as mobile Internet, Wechat and Weibo, continue to put forward new topics for Internet content supervision and copyright protection. according to investigation and understanding, at present, the hardest-hit areas of infringement and piracy of online literature are mainly concentrated in post bars, browsers, mobile APP and search engines, and so on. Paper databases, official Wechat accounts, audiobooks, forums, and online disks are also important forms of infringement and piracy of online text works. Some large websites often take advantage of legal weaknesses and improperly use the principle of "safe haven" to evade legal liability, while some small websites wantonly use new technologies to carry out malicious infringement and piracy. this year, on the basis of full investigation, we have listed the control of infringement and piracy of online literature as the main line and primary task of special action, and concentrated our efforts on strict rectification. Administrative punishment and even criminal punishment should be imposed on a number of pirates, and a number of illegal websites on infringement and piracy should be shut down. At the same time, we should further expand the scope of key copyright supervision, include major domestic literature websites under the key supervision of the State copyright Administration, promote online literature enterprises to establish genuine original literature alliances, establish and strengthen awareness of copyright protection, consciously resist the chaos of online literature, and create a healthy and civilized industry environment. Reporter: how is the "sword net 2016" project planned? Yu Cike: the special action will be carried out in four stages. strong > one is the work deployment phase. / strong > on 12 July, the National copyright Administration, in conjunction with the State Internet Information Office, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the Ministry of Public Security, issued a special action notice and held a press conference to announce the specific measures of the special action to the public and vigorously publicize it. strong > the second is the cleaning and inspection phase. / strong > in late July, various localities will organize and carry out self-inspection and self-correction of key Internet enterprises in their region to find out the problem of infringement and piracy. strong > the third is the stage of centralized regulation. / strong > from August to October, all localities carried out crackdown actions according to the clues of cases handed over by their superiors and collected by themselves, increased administrative penalties in accordance with the law, strengthened the transfer of suspected criminal cases, and concentrated on investigating and handling a number of major and important cases. strong > the fourth is the stage of supervision and summary. / strong > carry out supervision and inspection in key areas and key enterprises to ensure that special actions are implemented. Reporter: how to ensure the realization of the goal of "sword net 2016"? Yu Cike: the National copyright Administration and other four departments will take six work measures, including strengthening monitoring and inspection, highlighting the investigation and handling of cases, innovating working methods, improving the working mechanism, implementing the main responsibility, and strengthening publicity and mobilization. Special campaign will strengthen two points: strong > one is to establish a "blacklist" system / strong >, to establish a "whitelist" database of key protected works in the fields of online literature, APP and online advertising alliance, to publish the "blacklist" of pirated Internet enterprises, to establish typical copyright protection enterprises, and to promote the construction of credit system in the copyright field. strong > the second is to strengthen the implementation of the main responsibility of Internet enterprises / strong >. Internet service providers, such as providing information storage space and search links, should earnestly fulfill their "notice-delete" obligations, and promptly take measures to delete, block, and disconnect links to deal with infringing and pirated information. We hope that the vast number of application stores, online literature enterprises, online advertising alliances, and online cloud storage space service providers will establish and improve the mechanism for rapid handling of complaints and reports and information sharing, so as to give full play to the joint role of cracking down on copyright infringement and piracy. Reporter: what are the specific arrangements for the next step in the key supervision of network copyright? Yu Cike: specifically, strong > one is to update the list of key regulatory websites. / strong > according to the relevant regulations of the National copyright Administration, the National copyright Administration will publish a list of key regulatory websites this year according to the industry influence of websites for disseminating works, the number and click-through rate of disseminated works, the status of copyright protection, and other factors. According to the actual situation, the list of key regulatory video websites in 2016 will delete Sina Video, 56 net, Activation Network, Youshi Network, PPS, Ku6 Network, and add 1905 Movie Network, Phoenix Broadband, Huasu TV Network, Mango TV, bilibili on-screen comment Video Network, ACfun on-screen comment Video Network. strong > the second is to further strengthen the key supervision of music websites. / strong > the National copyright Administration will verify the rights information submitted by various online music service providers, summarize and form an online music work rights information database, publish it on the official website of the National copyright Administration, Weibo, Wechat and other media platforms, and notify all online music service providers to take the initiative to take relevant measures to prevent infringement. All online music service providers should ensure that the information submitted is true and correct. The National copyright Administration will verify the information reported by various online music service providers through regular inspections, individual spot checks, and investigations based on complaints and reports from relevant stakeholders. At the same time, mediation, interviews, warnings, and public announcements will be further strengthened to strengthen the key supervision of copyright. strong > the third is to bring network literature into the key supervision of network copyright. / strong > after the launch of the "Operation Sword and net", we will issue a notice on the key supervision of the copyright of online literature as soon as possible, give early warning protection to key online literary works, and severely crack down on infringing and pirated websites. strong > fourth, all key regulatory websites should strictly abide by the principle of "authorization before use", and shall not distribute other people's copyrighted film and television works without authorization. / strong > it is necessary to further improve the copyright operation and management system, strengthen self-supervision over the signing rules and processes of copyright documents, and try to avoid problems such as substandard form of authorization documents, incomplete authorization documents or unclear authorization information, so as to avoid legal risks and passive infringement. With regard to the early warning list of key works published by the National copyright Administration, the key regulatory websites shall take corresponding measures in accordance with the requirements.
