Jia Zhigang is the copyright owner of the book "Jia Zhigang Tan Chun Qiu", claiming that Foshan Radio used the content of "Jia Zhigang Tan Chun Qiu" in the program of "Spring and Autumn in the World" broadcast by two channels without its permission, which did not meet the statutory permission of the broadcasting organization and constituted an infringement of its copyright. Foshan Radio said that the law does not explicitly require radio stations to indicate the author and the name of the work when broadcasting other people's published works. Even considering the requirement of indicating the identity of the author, Foshan Radio repeatedly mentioned the book "Jia Zhigang Chunqiu" and its author in the broadcast audio and third-party media, with the intention of indicating the author and the name of the work. Therefore, Foshan Radio's behavior is permitted by law and does not infringe Jia Zhigang's copyright. The court of first instance held that the behavior of Foshan Radio did not comply with the provisions of the second paragraph of Article 43 of the Copyright Law on the statutory license to play other people's works. Foshan Radio refused to accept the judgment of the first instance and appealed. As a result, the Beijing Intellectual Property Court held through trial that the broadcast of "Listening to the Spring and Autumn Annals of the World" by Foshan Radio Station did not comply with the legal permission of the station and constituted an infringement of Jia Zhigang's copyright. Therefore, the judgment rejected the appeal of Foshan Radio and upheld the original judgment.
