What is the legal responsibility for copyright infringement?
According to the provisions of the copyright law, the legal consequences of copyright infringement include: bearing civil liabilities such as stopping the infringement, eliminating the influence, apologizing and compensating for losses; If the public interest is harmed, the copyright administrative department may order it to stop the infringement, confiscate the illegal income, confiscate and destroy the infringing copy, and may also impose a fine; If the circumstances are serious, the copyright administrative department may also confiscate the materials, tools and equipment mainly used for making infringing copies; If a crime is constituted, criminal responsibility shall be investigated according to law. Regarding compensation for losses, the Copyright Law clearly stipulates that if copyright or copyright-related rights are infringed, the infringer shall compensate according to the actual losses of the obligee. If the actual loss is difficult to calculate, it may be compensated according to the illegal income of the infringer. If the actual loss of the obligee or the illegal income of the infringer cannot be determined, the people's court shall award compensation of less than 500,000 yuan according to the circumstances of the infringement. In this case, if the actual loss of the client and the illegal income of the blower company cannot be confirmed, the law gives the adjudicator the discretion to compensate the loss within 500,000 yuan. At the same time, the infringer should also compensate the reasonable expenses paid by the obligee to stop the infringement. Legal basis: Article 49 of the Copyright Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) infringes copyright or copyright-related rights, and the infringer shall compensate the obligee according to the actual loss; If the actual loss is difficult to calculate, it may be compensated according to the illegal income of the infringer. The amount of compensation shall also include the reasonable expenses paid by the obligee to stop the infringement.
