Liu Yu withdrew from the final of masked dancer due to infringement dispute. Liu Yu's semi-naked stage performance in The Masked Dancer has won the love of many audiences. However, Liu Qingyao, a pipa player, posted a video on the Internet saying that the stage performance was suspected of infringing her original work "Brave Lanling Ensemble" and would sue the infringer.
Because of the infringement dispute, Liu Yu deleted the relevant videos on social platforms, and then issued a statement announcing her withdrawal from the final recording of The Masked Dancer. The statement mentioned that the performance music in the program was handled by the program group, and Liu Yu completed the performance without confirming to the program group that the copyright was meaningless.
The biggest problem in this matter is that no one has come forward to take responsibility, and the infringed can only use legal means to defend their rights. After the infringement dispute, neither the program group nor the broadcaster, nor the performer himself, made a public response to this matter. Shanghai Canxing Production took the initiative to contact the infringed party for negotiation, but its compensation plan was unreasonably rejected. What is even more surprising is that the infringed party did not intend to sue Liu Yu, but decided to sue Liu Yu at the same time because of the cyber violence of his fans.
In this case, no unit or individual publicly expressed responsibility for this incident, and the relevant stakeholders were unwilling to provide full compensation. This is the biggest problem that this incident has become well known. If the infringer has a good attitude and is willing to provide full tort compensation, then I don't think anyone will be willing to take legal procedures to solve the problem.
However, the infringement problem cannot be solved, and the two sides cannot reach an agreement through consultation. The infringed can only take legal measures to safeguard their rights. Protecting rights by legal means will undoubtedly push all parties concerned to the forefront, and the price paid by the relevant infringers will be even greater.
In fact, in real life, problems about infringement occur from time to time. This is actually to remind everyone that we must pay attention to copyright issues when creating or performing, otherwise it may cause infringement and be sued by the copyright owner.
