What are the ownership problems of TV drama copyright?
As far as the TV series itself is concerned, because there are many people involved in creation and labor, the rights involved are also more complicated. Among these rights, the most important is the copyright of the TV play itself. According to the provisions of Article 15 of the Copyright Law, the copyright of film works and works created by similar film production methods shall be enjoyed by the producers.

So who can become a producer, our country's law does not further stipulate, can only be left to the parties involved in TV drama production to agree. The copyright law on the distribution of rights and obligations respects the autonomy of the parties to the greatest extent, but it is precisely because of the wide scope of the autonomy of the parties that it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish who is the real producer, which is likely to lead to disputes similar to this case. In order to better understand this problem, we can analyze the provisions of other countries in the world from the perspective of comparative law. German copyright law stipulates that the copyright of film and television works belongs to every natural person who participates in film and television creation, and at the same time stipulates that every natural person who enjoys film and television copyright transfers his economic rights to the producer at the beginning, and the producer exercises the copyright of film and television works; American copyright law directly distributes the copyright of film and television works to producers. When China enacted the copyright law, the cultural and entertainment industry was not as developed as it is now, and the rights consciousness of all parties was not so strong, so the provisions of the principle of comparison also adapted to the social requirements at that time. However, up to now, such regulations have not adapted to the complicated relationship between rights and obligations, which has led to various disputes.
