Before the bad reviewer went to bed last night, I saw a piece of news: “Tan Talks Traffic” was completely removed from the shelves due to infringement complaints, and the host Tan Sir himself may face the situation of “losing his pants”.
In an instant, an absurd and angry feeling came to my mind.
Why?
Everyone should be familiar with “Tan Talks Traffic”.
This is a traffic safety education program, which was first broadcast in 2005. The host Tan Qiao is a police officer of the traffic police team. He is looking for people driving illegally on the streets of Chengdu and guiding them to know the danger of their own traffic violations.
Because the content of the program is natural, sincere, and full of human fireworks, it is deeply loved by the public, and many clips are still taken out by the public for repeated appreciation and interpretation.
An uncle rode a battery car to the fast lane and pulled goods to Erxian Bridge.
Officer Tan stopped him and asked him which road the car should take. He said that to Erxianqiao, he should take Chenghua Avenue. When asked if he could pull the car, he said he could only pull a little, but not too much.
The uncle answered very seriously, but none of the answers came back to the point, and he looked very happy.
Someone was sitting on a beer bottle and swaying from side to side in the car. Officer Tan chased after him and asked him if he was afraid of this?
He said that he was not afraid, mainly because he would be able to unite his waist and horse.
From the domestic BEST to the “Korean” brand Fujian drivers, this show has a lot of laughs and is even more energetic than the Spring Festival Gala sketches.
But it’s not just a point of laughter. Behind these clips are stories of ordinary people trying to make a living, often making people laugh and cry at the end.
The 69-year-old uncle, both parents died in the family, and his wife had a difficult childbirth when he gave birth, and neither of them was able to stay. Officer Tan asked him if he had any other relatives. He pointed to his brother and dog in the car.
But even so, the uncle was still smiling, Officer Tan asked him why he was so optimistic, and the uncle said “look forward”.
Suddenly “backstabbed”?
With a trace of unwillingness and curiosity, the poor reviewer read Officer Tan’s public account on social platforms, and found the answer on Zhihu.
The video was removed from the shelves because of an infringement complaint initiated by Chengdu Youshu Culture Communication Co., Ltd.
The program production unit, Chengdu TV Channel 3, answered this question for everyone.
The official response of the TV station stated that it has sub-licensed all the copyright and related rights of “Tan Tan Traffic” to Youshu, and the agreement specifically states that the right to compensation is included.
To put it simply, the TV station transferred the copyright of the program to Chengdu Youshu, and Chengdu Youshu began to complain about infringement, and the video of the program was completely removed from the shelves, and Tan Sir might lose money.
This is subtle.
In our intuitive understanding, the main host of this program is Sir Tan, and the main body of the program is the program that Sir Tan talked about with people from all walks of life. Does Sir Tan have no copyright on his own works? Should I even be responsible for disseminating my own work?
According to the “Copyright Law”, generally speaking, in units such as newspapers, periodicals, and TV stations, the job works created by the staff belong to the TV station. Tan Sir’s role as a host is to perform the duties assigned by the TV station, and the copyright belongs to the TV station.
Secondly, before the production of the program, the two parties may have reached an agreement through contracts, etc. If the intellectual property rights have been agreed to belong to the TV station at this time, the copyright in this case does not belong to Tan Sir.
According to the current situation on the Internet, Chengdu Youshu has a high probability of being able to stand up legally, that is to say, they own the copyright and have the right to appeal against infringing works.
For example, how did the TV station transfer its rights to this private company? Is the transfer price reasonable? Does the process conform to relevant procedures?
For example, if the public welfare nature of the program can be recognized, the copyright can be refuted.
And Tan Sir also enjoys portrait rights, performer rights and other rights in some cases, and can sue Chengdu Youshu and so on.
Specifically, it will only be until the court that the two parties produce the original contract and other materials before they can compete.
In the process of chatting with our lawyers, the bad reviewer also used Tianyan to check the company.
As soon as I went into the sky to check, I saw that this company has more than 50 court announcements, and the court hearing starts from June to August this year.
In just two months, so many lawsuits are going on in court, what is this doing?
There are more exciting, look at the time↓↓
So many cases are on the same day, isn’t this a mass prosecution?
This information makes people wonder, is Chengdu Youshu a company that makes a living from these copyright lawsuits?
I looked again carefully and found that Baidu, Kuaishou, Youku, Migu, iQiyi, Huawei and Bilibili were “sit” in the dock. . .
I took a deep breath and flipped through the basics of the company again.
It was found that the company was established for a very short time. It was established in 2018 with a registered capital of 500,000 and paid-in capital of 0. It has been established for four years, and the annual report shows that the number of insured is 0.
When I saw this information, I didn’t know what to say.
When the program was broadcast in 2005, the state media’s self-promotion was not so popular at the time.
In this case, the traffic police team is willing to give official support, and Officer Tan agrees to appear on the scene and spend time on the show, which is most likely out of the nature of public welfare and publicity.
In fact, the official traffic police detachment of Chengdu Public Security Bureau also mentioned that this is a traffic safety education program↓↓
Originally a traffic program with a public welfare nature, it has become popular again after many years, and it has become a profit-seeking field for businessmen.
Originally launched by the TV station and the traffic police force, the popular law program that everyone hopes everyone can see, but now the dissemination of the video has been restricted, and it has become one after another “5,000 yuan”.
In any case, today’s result is a satire for the producers of “Tan Talks Traffic” and for every viewer who likes the show.
