In recent years, the main measures to combat piracy in the national "anti-pornography" work are: 1. Clean up the market. Qi Xin, the relevant government department, made concerted efforts to combine daily supervision with centralized action to collect pirated audio-visual products in the market, vigorously rectify the distribution centers and wholesale markets of pirated audio-visual products, and maintain normal market order. Since 1994, more than 580 places where illegal publications are concentrated have been banned and closed, and the relevant government departments collect tens of millions of infringing and pirated books, audio-visual products, computer software and electronic publications every year. 2. Rectify the screening and stop the social spread of pirated and infringing audio-visual products. During the period of 1995, the commercial screening halls of laser disc feature films were banned nationwide (the screening activities in these screening halls are infringement without the authorization of the copyright owner). By the end of February, 1996, more than 3,000 such cinemas were closed nationwide. 3. Standardize the business activities of CD-ROM copying enterprises and strengthen the management of production sources. According to the problems found in the market rectification, from May 65438 to May 65438, the Press and Publication Administration revoked the business licenses for audio-visual reproduction of nine CD reproduction enterprises, including Jiangsu Baodie, Shenzhen Zhongqiao and Guangzhou Cailing, which produced pirated and obscene CDs. In addition, according to the requirements of the General Administration of Press and Publication and the National Copyright Administration, all localities have sent copyright supervisors to all CD reproduction enterprises. At the same time, strictly implement the system of etching source identification codes (that is, SID codes) on all CD production molds, and implement a nationwide unified power of attorney for reproduction. 4. Implement a reward report and dig deep into the illegal CD production line. 1In the autumn of 1996, Guangdong Province took the lead in promulgating the policy of rewarding and reporting, which stipulated that an illegal CD production line could be effectively reported, and the government gave the whistleblower a bonus of 300,000 yuan. From/kloc-0 to September 1996, the first illegal optical disc production line in Guangdong was dug up by the masses, and 149 illegal optical disc production lines have been cracked nationwide. To this end, the state has cashed in more than 30 million yuan for informants (some informants have declared that they don't want bonuses), and the national office of "eliminating pornography and illegal publications" once gave a whistleblower a bonus of 6.5438+0.2 million yuan for reporting four illegal CD production lines. Most of the illegal production lines dug up are products from European countries, which are generally smuggled into the country. Some overseas supply companies also send technicians to guide installation and production. It is conservatively estimated that these 149 production lines can produce more than1000 billion pirated optical discs every year, based on an average daily production of 20,000. 5. Severely crack down on the smuggling of pirated CDs. Since 1997, CD smuggling has risen sharply, becoming the main source of pirated CDs in Chinese mainland. In recent years, China Customs has deployed a special campaign to crack down on the smuggling of pirated CDs, and strengthened the freight supervision and anti-smuggling of sea and land transportation. The National Office for Combating Pornography and Illegal Publications, together with the Ministry of Public Security, the General Administration of Customs and other departments, held three symposiums on cracking down on CD smuggling in Zhuhai, Guangdong, Shenzhen and Xiamen, Fujian, and formulated eight major measures, including intercepting smuggling channels at sea, intercepting a large number of smuggled CDs, continuing to dig deep into illegal CD production lines, strengthening transportation management and market smuggling, destroying large smuggling gangs and their domestic storage and transportation dens and sales networks, strengthening legal weapons, strictly investigating the criminal responsibility of smugglers, and strengthening incomplete statistics./kloc- Most of these CDs are pirated movies and music works in Europe and America, and a considerable part of them are obscene and pornographic CDs. 19991kloc-0/that night, Zhuhai Gongbei customs intercepted 4.52 million smuggled CDs at sea, with more than 4 10 varieties. On March 2, 2002, Guangdong seized a smuggling case of extra-large CDs, and * * * seized 4.777 million smuggled CDs. On February 1 1 and 13, 2003, Shenzhen Customs intercepted three smuggling fishing boats and seized more than 8 million smuggled CDs. 6. "Fight gangs, break the network and end dens", investigate and deal with major cases of infringement and piracy, make efforts to crack down on organized criminal activities and destroy the effective strength of criminals. A number of major and important cases are investigated and dealt with every year in the nationwide centralized action to "eliminate pornography" and "crack down on illegal publications". For example, in 1995, Bu Xinghua, deputy general manager of Jiangsu Baodie Laser Video Disc Co., Ltd., was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of 17 years and fined. In 2002, the Intermediate People's Court of Shaoyang City, Hunan Province, ruled in the first instance that Deng Haiqing, the principal of the illegal publishing gang case, was guilty of copying and selling obscene articles for profit and illegal business operation, sentenced to life imprisonment, deprived of political rights for life, and confiscated property of 6,543,807 yuan. Xu Hui and other 654.38+05 co-defendants were sentenced to 20-3 years in prison and fined for the crime of illegal business operation and the crime of copying obscene articles for profit respectively. Guangdong and Guangzhou have made great achievements in digging deep into pirated dens. In 2002, more than 70 dens storing more than 1 10,000 pirated CDs were uncovered, and more than130,000 pirated CDs were collected. 7. Establish and improve laws and regulations to combat piracy. 199 1 In June, the Copyright Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) and its supporting regulations were promulgated and implemented, which made China have the first law to protect the rights and interests of copyright owners. 1997 10 The Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), which was promulgated in June, provided for the first time to punish the crime of copyright infringement, with a maximum penalty of 7 years' imprisonment and a fine. 199865438+the Supreme People's Court's explanation on some issues concerning the specific application of law in the trial of criminal cases of illegal publications on February 23rd. In order to promote the effective measures of reporting rewards throughout the country, the national working group on "eliminating pornography" and "cracking down on illegal publications" and other departments issued the "Measures for Rewarding Meritorious Persons for Reporting Pornography, Selling Pornography and Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights". The promulgation of these laws and regulations provides a concrete and clear legal basis for "eliminating pornography" and "cracking down on illegal publications", especially for effectively mobilizing the masses and cracking down on piracy. In April 2002, the Intermediate People's Court of Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province made a first-instance judgment on the case that Xu Meizhong smuggled 4.52 million CDs with others and evaded the tax payable of more than 2.98 million yuan. The defendant Xu Meizhong was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of 13 years for smuggling ordinary goods and fined 3 million yuan. 8. Strengthen public opinion propaganda and educate the broad masses of people about the dangers of piracy. Through holding exhibitions, destroying pirated CDs and other activities, we will raise people's awareness of rights protection and understand the dangers of piracy. In August, 20001,the Office of the National Working Group on "Combating Pornography and Illegal Publications", together with the General Administration of Press and Publication (National Copyright Administration), the General Administration of Customs, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Public Security, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce and the People's Government of Guangdong Province, held a centralized destruction activity of 6.4 million smuggled and pirated CDs in Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province, which was the largest and largest in China so far. China CCTV conducted a live broadcast, and more than 50 journalists from major domestic and foreign media participated in the report, as well as some foreign embassy and consulate officials and representatives of industry associations.
