Infringement of copyright is determined according to the following criteria: 1, the fact of infringement. That is, without the permission of the copyright owner, the actor uses the copyright owner's works, performances, audio-visual products and radio and television programs in accordance with the conditions of use stipulated in the copyright law. Copyright infringement, without the consent of the author and other copyright owners, is not a case of fair use and legal use, but an unauthorized use of the work, so it is a violation of copyright law. This kind of infringement may damage the personal rights and property rights of other people's works at the same time. 2. This behavior is illegal. Copyright is an absolute right, and everyone has the obligation of inaction that cannot infringe this right. Others must abide by the relevant provisions of the copyright law and other laws when using copyrighted works. If the actor violates the law, his behavior is illegal. As for works that are not protected by China's copyright law, works that fail to obtain copyright, or "works" that have entered the public domain, there is no infringement problem when others use them. 3. The actor is subjectively at fault. The so-called fault refers to the mental state of the infringer's infringement and its consequences, including intentional and negligent forms. Most acts of copyright infringement are intentional; There are also a few that can be constituted by intention or negligence. Distinguishing the forms of fault is of certain significance for determining the legal responsibility of the infringer. Generally speaking, the legal liability of intentional infringement is heavier than that of negligent infringement.
