I have only heard of your child, not your child. I have never heard of your photo. It is not your photo. The official account of Dai Jianfeng, a starry sky photographer in China-Jeff’s journey to the starsAlleged infringementUsing Visual China photos and was asked to compensate more than 80,000 RMB (about 350,000 Taiwan dollars). However, Jeff found that the so-called “infringing photos” were all his own works and Jeff himself had never cooperated with Visual China. Now the photos have become the copyright of Visual China and Jeff is required to pay compensation, which makes him outrageous.
The photos taken by Chinese photographers themselves were sued for copyright infringement?
Visual China is an online visual image content and service provider in China (in simple terms, it is a paid commercial gallery). Of course, there is no problem as a paid commercial gallery. The problem is that Visual China has not belonged to its own copyrighted photo bookstore more than once. He also practiced extortion in the name of copyright protection, which can be said to be a proper copyright hooligan in China. The “black hole picture” incident once caused everyone’s dissatisfaction.
Now he filed a complaint against Jeff’s star tour, accusing the author of embezzling 173 photos he took, demanding compensation and even presumptuously giving Jeff two options.
First, purchase the “Copyright Material Package” from the Visual China website. The total number of purchases must be at least as many as the 173 photos accused, 300 RMB (about 1300 Taiwan dollars) per photo, and the deadline is only 1 year. It is also said that you can use the other 173 photos in the visual China library. (It means that you spend money to buy a package in exchange for the right to use the photos you took yourself, and I will give you 173 more photos from my website for you to use)
Second, the parties reconcile. Dai Jianfeng paid 500 RMB (about 2,580 Taiwan dollars) per photo for the 173 photos that have been used by Visual China. After the payment, he will no longer claim compensation from Dai Jianfeng, but if Dai Jianfeng wants to use the 173 photos again, he will have to report to Visual China separately. Obtain legal authorization. (meaning you use your own photo but you still have to pay me because I own the copyright of your photo)
After Dai Jianfeng posted a post on Weibo, Visual China responded: “You sold the photos to Party B (Stocktrek Images), and Party B sold the photos to Party C (Getty Images), and Party C has a cooperation with me. So I have full sales rights to the photo”. But there may be some misunderstanding in the middle, let’s communicate.
Dai Jianfeng was not to be outdone and went directly to Party B for verification. Party B stated that Visual China had no right to sell Dai Jianfeng’s works and did not have Dai Jianfeng’s copyright. Tell Visual China to stop lying to others about owning copyrights and claiming compensation from others.
The latest development is that Party B contacted Visual China and requested that the Visual China website delete all Dai Jianfeng’s works, and Party C also contacted Visual China to remove Dai Jianfeng’s works.
It is not clear whether Dai Jianfeng will report back at the follow-up summit. It is not clear whether Dai Jianfeng wants to report back, but Chinese netizens should be very willing to report, because Visual China has done too many disgusting things that have made Chinese netizens unhappy for a long time.
