How should online copyright protection be implemented?

There was a difference between the protection of copyright in the network environment and the protection of copyright on the Internet. Online copyright referred to the copyright enjoyed by literary works created on the Internet. In the traditional offline environment, once the copyright was published, it would automatically take effect. And in the network environment, they also enjoyed the copyright of the network. The scope of protection for online copyrights was similar to the offline environment. It also included the creative expression of literature, art, science, and other aspects of the work, as well as the rights to adapt, translate, perform, and display the work. However, there are also some unique protection mechanisms for online copyrights, such as the Internet copyright protection law, online copyright registration, etc. These mechanisms help to protect the legitimate rights and interests of online copyright owners. Online copyrights were not copyrights in the online environment. Online copyright is a type of copyright that is protected under the network environment. Online copyright had nothing to do with the internet environment, but with the copyright itself.

The meaning of copyright protection was that copyright was an original right, including the right to create, adapt, translate, and distribute literary works, music, movies, television dramas, photographic works of art, and so on. This right is protected by the law. Unauthorized or unapproved acts of copyright will be punished. The protection of copyrights was very important to creators. Through copyrights, creators could protect their creativity and intellectual property rights and obtain economic compensation and returns. In addition, the protection of copyright also helps to promote innovation and development in the fields of literature, art and science, encouraging people to create excellent works and maintaining social harmony and stability. Protecting copyrights also helps to raise the public's awareness and protection of intellectual property, enhance people's respect and protection of intellectual property, promote the rational use and sharing of intellectual property, and promote social economic development and civilization progress.

The scope of online copyright protection includes: 1. The creativity and conception of the work itself are the elements of literature, art, design, etc. in the online work; 2. The forms of expression of the works are the text, pictures, audio, video, and other forms of creative results in the online works; 3. The rights of the work, namely the rights of the online copyright owner, include the right to copy, distribute, exhibit, perform, show, broadcast, and information network transmission. The scope of online copyright protection was the intellectual results of online works, including creativity and ideas, forms of expression and rights. These rights were all enjoyed by the online copyright owner according to law.

The copyright protection of online music mainly involved two aspects: the copyright of music works and the right to adapt music works. 1. Music copyright The copyright of online music belonged to the composer, lyricist, singer, and other creators when they created the music. The online music platform had violated the copyright of these creators by uploading music works to the platform without authorization. Therefore, online music platforms needed to pay copyright fees to these creators to protect their rights. 2. Right to Adapt Music When online music platforms upload music works, they may make some adjustments, such as adapting a piece of music into another style or singing. These acts of adaptation also violated the right to adapt the original work. The right of adaptation was the author's right to modify, create, interpret, and adapt his work. If the online music platform adapted the music work without authorization, it would also need to pay the copyright fee to the copyright owner of the original work. Online music platforms need to abide by the relevant provisions of the copyright law. Unauthorized uploading of music works or adaptation is an act of copyright violation and requires corresponding legal responsibility. At the same time, online music platforms also needed to clearly explain to users the relevant laws and regulations for uploading music works so that users could understand whether their actions were legal.

The copyright protection period for online novels was 20 years. However, according to the third paragraph of article 21 of the copyright law, the copyright includes adaptation, translation, compilation, and arrangement of existing works. The term of protection for works shall be exercised within 20 years after the completion of the creation. Therefore, if a web novel was created within 20 years, works that had copyright protection until 2021 would not be protected by copyright.

The copyright protection period for online novels was 20 years. According to the "copyright law", online novels created by authors enjoy copyright from the date of creation. The term of copyright protection is divided into the following categories: 1. Duration of Originality Protection: The term of copyright protection for an author is usually 20 years from the date of creation. However, if the work has not been published at the time of copyright registration or the copyright owner has not exercised the copyright according to law but enjoys the copyright under certain circumstances, the term of copyright protection can be extended by 20 years. 2. Duration of protection: The duration of protection of the exhibition right is usually 5 years, but it can be extended for another 5 years. 3. Period of protection of the right of information network transmission: The term of protection of the right of information network transmission of a work is generally 20 years from the date of publication. However, if the work has not been published at the time of copyright registration or the copyright owner has not exercised the copyright according to law but enjoys the copyright under certain circumstances, the term of protection of the information network communication right can be extended by 20 years. Therefore, the copyright protection period of online novels was 20 years. If the copyright was still violated after 20 years, the copyright owner could protect his rights through legal means.

The copyright protection period was 20 years from the day the author created the work. However, according to the third paragraph of article 21 of the copyright law, the copyright owner can claim rights at the same time, that is, he can exercise the copyright or neighboring rights at the same time. The duration of copyright protection was determined according to the specific circumstances of the work. According to the copyright law, the term of copyright protection for film works and works created by similar methods shall be calculated from the date of creation; music, drama, opera, folk art and other performance works shall be calculated from the date of performance. For literary works, according to the provisions of the first paragraph of article 10 of the copyright law, copyright includes all the rights stipulated by the copyright law and the copyright sharing law, including the right to publish, the right to sign, the right to modify, the right to protect the integrity of the work, the right to translate, the right to compile, the right to adapt, etc. Therefore, the duration of protection needed to be determined according to the specific circumstances of the work.

The duration of copyright protection depends on the provisions of the copyright law. In China, the duration of copyright protection was calculated from the date of creation, which was September 10, 1982. The date of creation of a work is not regarded as the date of establishment of the copyright. The copyright owner can exercise his rights at will until his rights are exhausted or he dies. According to the copyright law, copyright includes the rights of the copyright owner and the copyright heir. After the death of the copyright owner, his heir could inherit the copyright but had to pay the corresponding inheritance tax. After the copyright protection period ends, the work will automatically lose its copyright, but the publishing house or performer to which the work belongs can still enjoy the relevant copyright protection. After the end of the copyright protection period, if the work is still legally original, the relevant rights and interests can continue to be protected through other means such as trademark rights, patent rights, trade secrets, etc.

The copyright protection of works published online was reliable. According to the copyright law, the author's copyright includes personal rights and property rights. Personal rights include the right to publish, the right to sign, the right to modify, and the right to protect the integrity of the work. In the age of the internet, authors could publish their works through the internet and enjoy copyright. The internet could be a place to publish works or a platform for publishing works. In addition, the distribution of works through the Internet could also be regarded as public publication and thus enjoy copyright protection. Although the internet made it easier to create and distribute works, copyright protection was still reliable. The copyright owner can protect his rights and interests through legal means, including filing an copyright violation lawsuit. At the same time, copyright owners can also expand their rights and interests through cooperation and authorization to obtain economic benefits. Therefore, authors who published their works online and enjoyed copyright could create and share their works with peace of mind.

The copyright of online works referred to the works created in the online environment, including literature, art, music, movies, television, radio, and other creative achievements in online works. The scope of protection for online works was the same as that of traditional media works, including personal rights, property rights, and honor rights. The laws and regulations of the country have clearly stipulated the protection of the copyright of online works. For example, the copyright law stipulated that copyright owners enjoyed the rights to adapt, translate, compile, organize, display, and other rights of their works, as well as the right to transmit information online. The copyright owners of online works can protect their legal rights and interests through copyright registration, publication, exhibition, performance, broadcasting, screening, etc. In order to strengthen the protection of the copyright of online works, the state's laws and regulations also provide for various protective measures. For example, copyright owners can apply for registration with the copyright administration department and file a lawsuit in court to protect their legitimate rights and interests. The copyright administration department can protect the copyright of online works to prevent online copyright encroachment and pirated acts. In addition, the state can also strengthen the protection of the copyright of online works through laws, relevant policies, and the establishment of intellectual property protection agencies.
