The problem of teenagers’ internet addiction intensifies. E-sports should avoid becoming a means of "bleaching" the game.

  The Spring Festival of 2019, which just passed, is destined to make Chen Can and Jason unforgettable. Together with dozens of other Internet addiction teenagers, they spent the New Year in an Internet addiction treatment center in Beijing. China Youth Psychological Growth Base, located in the southern suburbs of Beijing, was founded in 2003, and it is the first institution in China that specializes in treating teenagers and youths with Internet addiction. Every child and young person who walks in here has a different history of internet addiction, but because of their internet addiction, they have brought similar pain and suffering to their respective families. In the past 16 years, the number of Internet addiction rehabilitation institutions such as China Youth Psychological Growth Base has increased from one to two or three hundred in China, which is a worrying phenomenon, because there are more and more Internet addiction teenagers, and the unfortunate families behind them are also increasing day by day.

  The fall of a schoolmaster took only one semester.

  At present, many children with Chen Can are enjoying their first winter vacation after entering the university. A few years ago, Chen Can’s mother imagined such a future for Chen Can, and believed that Chen Can must be a famous university. Chen Can’s mother recalled that Chen Can had excellent academic performance in junior high school. At that time, his goal was to be admitted to the best local high school with the first place in the county. However, everything changed after Chen Can fell in love with online games.

  Chen Can, who is in front of the reporter of China Youth Daily and Zhongqing Online, is a polite and eloquent young man. He has entered the final stage of Internet addiction treatment in the psychological growth base of young people in China, and will soon resume his normal study and life. He regretted his experience of indulging in online games in the past few years.

  Chen Can recalled that he was addicted to an online game in junior high school. He played for three or four hours after school every night, and rarely fell asleep before 12 o’clock at night. However, due to my solid academic foundation and high learning efficiency in class during the day, my academic performance has not been greatly affected.

  In the senior high school entrance examination, Chen Can’s score was among the top ten in the county. Although there is a certain gap from the goal of getting the first place in the county, it is enough to ensure that he can successfully enter the best local high school.

  After entering high school, Chen Can continued the habit of staying up late to play games every night, but his high school studies were obviously aggravated, and it was already difficult for him to take both games and studies into consideration. In junior high school, Chen Can can still take a nap if he is too sleepy in class during the day, which basically won’t have much impact on his study, but it is impossible in senior high school. Due to lack of energy during the day, there is no guarantee to listen carefully in class. In just one semester, Chen Can’s academic performance has dropped sharply. After a day’s suspension due to a conflict with the teacher, Chen Can found that the suspension would give him more time and reason to play games, and then he began to deliberately skip class, and his learning progress could not keep up. Later, Chen Can directly applied for suspension.

  To Chen Can’s mother’s distress, as a parent, there is nothing she can do in the face of her son’s addiction to games and the resulting "fall" in life.

  Chen Can’s mother recalled that in fact, as early as junior high school in Chen Can, she and Chen Can’s father had been urging Chen Can not to play games for so long, but the dissuasion had little effect. Later, it was even easy to cause Chen Can’s emotional catharsis. Chen Can’s mother remembers that once there was a guest at home, Chen Can kicked over the gift sent by the guest in order to express his dissatisfaction, which was very rude. As for losing your temper with your parents, it is even more common. At first, Chen Can’s mother thought that the child was rebellious in adolescence. After this period of time, the child would get better. Until Chen Can’s academic performance in high school plummeted and quickly changed from a "schoolmaster" to a stubborn poor student, Chen Can’s parents thought that the child was so addicted to games that it was necessary to be treated.

  Chen Can’s mother first found a friend who is a psychiatrist. After a preliminary diagnosis, this friend found that Chen Can’s Internet addiction was very serious, and suggested taking measures to quit it as soon as possible.

  When I heard the doctor’s diagnosis of her son, Chen Can’s mother was desperate for the first time in her life. The child who once made herself and the whole family extremely proud actually fell to the point where serious mental problems appeared because she was addicted to online games.

  Now Chen Can has realized that at the height of Internet addiction, he was not only obsessed with online games, but also evaded and rejected real life. He would rather chat with people online than talk to them in reality.

  In April, 2017, Chen Can came to China Youth Psychological Growth Base for the first time under the leadership of her parents, but in order to get back to school before school starts in September, the treatment lasted only five months. As a result, because of incomplete treatment, Chen Can relapsed after returning to school for one month.

  In December 2017, Chen Can once again came to the China Youth Psychological Growth Base. After a winter vacation, he thought he was good, but when he got home, he quickly returned to the state of being addicted to online games.

  In May 2018, Chen Can’s parents took Chen Can to the China Youth Psychological Growth Base for the third time. This time, the treatment has been as long as nine months now. The doctor’s advice is that the treatment will not be over until Chen Can is completely cured of Internet addiction.

  As the treatment has entered the final stage, it is expected that Chen Can will be able to really return to normal life when the new semester begins. But precious youth has been delayed for three years. Chen Can’s former senior one classmates have entered university life at this time, while Chen Can’s mother has already given up her dream of a famous university for her son.

  Chen Can felt that he was unlikely to go back to high school again. He planned to study high school courses by himself while working, and then he planned to enter the university. Chen Can’s mother no longer expects her son to be admitted to the university. Her only expectation is that Chen Can can lead a normal life safely.

  A former e-sports player who lost himself.

  Jason, 26, has been addicted to Internet for almost 10 years.

  Jason’s father told the reporter of China Youth Daily and Zhongqing Online that Jason had been addicted to online games since his sophomore year. At that time, he went to Internet cafes every day, and his studies were a mess. There was nothing the school could do about how to save the child, so it suggested that Jason’s father transfer him to a local militarized school.

  In the new school, Jason’s mobile phone was confiscated, and he usually lived in the school. He was forbidden to leave the school at will. He didn’t have access to online games at all. In this way, Jason’s academic performance gradually picked up, but Internet addiction also tortured him mentally. In the first half year of his new school, Jason’s father lied about his child’s illness three times to meet his son’s internet addiction demand, helped Jason to ask for leave, took him out of school and took him home to play online games. However, since then, Jason’s Internet addiction has been temporarily suppressed under the strict control of the school.

  After studying in a new school for two years, Jason was finally admitted to a good local university. After going to college, Jason’s playing games was no longer out of control. Jason told the reporter of China Youth Daily and Zhongqing Online that his studies in college were not affected by playing games. However, Jason’s father said that his son spent almost every day in the Internet cafe since his sophomore year, and finally he graduated from college, just muddling through.

  Jason also participated in the national college students’ e-sports competition and won an award when he was in college, but it was this experience that made him understand that an e-sports player is far from playing games, and needs strict and boring training. When entertainment turns into work, few people can actually persist.

  Therefore, when talking about quitting his job one year after graduating from college and starting to focus on online games completely, Jason’s answer to the reporter’s question of why he didn’t take part in e-sports competition again was that he could never aim at becoming an e-sports player, because it was too difficult to take that road.

  In the summer of 2016, I graduated from Jason University, and then entered a local company with good conditions in all aspects step by step. However, work can’t bring people a sense of excitement and accomplishment as quickly as games. After gradually discovering the dullness of work, Jason began to devote more energy to online games, from going to Internet cafes to play games after work at the beginning, to taking time off to play games, and then to absenteeism to play games. The unit leader talked to him again and again, and talked to his parents, but they couldn’t make him change his mind.

  Less than a year after graduating from college, Jason voluntarily gave up his first job in life, and then looked for several jobs, but all of them could not be maintained within a few days. Jason’s father knows very well that his son’s mind is completely on online games. Where can real life bring him excitement and excitement like the online world?

  In the following year, Jason lived a black-and-white life. Jason’s father was annoyed but helplessly watched his son spend every night in the Internet cafe. He went home to eat and sleep early in the morning, slept until three or four o’clock in the afternoon, and then ate something to go to the Internet cafe. Later, Jason stopped going to Internet cafes, so he shut himself in his room all day. He said that he didn’t always play games, and he spent a lot of time browsing and chatting with people online, but he just couldn’t leave the computer.

  Jason’s father found that his son, who was cheerful and talkative, had become listless and could not even speak fluently after blocking himself in the online world for nearly a year.

  Jason’s father felt that his son was "dying" mentally, and he had to find a way to save his son.

  In May, 2018, Jason’s father made up an excuse to cheat Jason to Beijing and live directly in the psychological growth base for teenagers in China. Jason found that he came here to give himself up Internet addiction, and then he rebelled by means of hunger strike, leading other children to "riot" and running away. Jason’s father was determined not to compromise with his son.

  After various means of resistance failed, Jason finally understood his father’s determination and began to receive treatment.

  The treatment process is full of challenges. After the son started Morita therapy (the treated person is alone in a room with only one bed in the room, which ensures the basic living conditions of the treated person, but there are no social activities, reading, entertainment and other activities to force the treated person to think, examine and recognize himself), Jason’s father did not expect that other children only need Morita therapy for 30 to 40 days, but his son actually did it for 70 days.

  The harm of Internet addiction to teenagers will become increasingly prominent.

  In the past 16 years, China Youth Psychological Growth Base has treated more than 10,000 teenagers with Internet addiction. Tao Ran, director of China Youth Psychological Growth Base and director of Addiction Medicine Center of Beijing Military Region General Hospital, told China Youth Daily and Zhongqing Online reporter, "A large number of examples show that even if teenagers with Internet addiction complete the treatment of quitting Internet addiction, the physical and mental harm that Internet addiction brings to children will be lifelong."

  First of all, Internet addiction does great harm to children’s health.

  When Tao Ran treated the children, he found that 90% of teenagers with Internet addiction were lean and thin, and their weight was not up to standard. During the treatment in the base, these children are also generally weak and sick. If the weather changes slightly, they will easily catch a cold and have a fever. Gastrointestinal function is also worse than that of healthy children.

  The problem of vision decline of teenagers with internet addiction is also very prominent. According to the recommended standards of international medicine, teenagers over 8 years old should play video games for less than one hour every day, but teenagers with internet addiction generally play video games for more than three or four hours every day, which can easily cause serious damage to their vision.

  Internet addiction teenagers have been sitting quietly for a long time facing computers and mobile phones, and lack of sports. Tao Ran said sadly that these children were supposed to be the most energetic, sunny and energetic, but because they were addicted to games, they delayed the best opportunity for physical development.

  Secondly, the permanent damage caused by internet addiction to children’s brains directly affects children’s intellectual development, mental state and social life ability.

  According to Tao Ran, related research shows that long-term addiction to video games will lead to frontal lobe ischemia of teenagers’ brains and affect their development. In addition to affecting children’s intellectual development, the most important thing is the harm caused to children’s psychological development.

  Tao Ran said that there is now a metaphor for Internet addiction teenagers as "machine brain". This means that teenagers with internet addiction generally have no normal emotions and feelings, and like a robot, they treat people and things around them with a cold attitude. They only have emotions when they are addicted to games, but in real life, they are not interested in everything.

  However, human beings are gregarious animals, and the development of human society is based on gregarious and social interaction. Only normal communication between people can achieve healthy psychological development. If a teenager or a minor faces a computer or a mobile phone every day and looks for life in the game, his world outlook, values and outlook on life are not mature, and his brain is still in the developing stage. In this state of life, these internet addiction teenagers often have no human feelings, do not understand interpersonal relationships, leave school, and then leave society when they are older. Their life has become virtual, that is, to face life in the way of games, and then to moralize and legalize.

  In Tao Ran’s view, the mental development of teenagers with Internet addiction has been seriously affected because they have been addicted to online games for a long time, and their mental age is often 4 to 5 years younger than their actual age. The immature psychology of teenagers with internet addiction, coupled with the misleading that either you hit me or I hit you and kill people in the game world, leads them to tend to solve problems by violence.

  According to Tao Ran’s investigation, about 86% teenagers with Internet addiction have used violence against their relatives.

  When parents and family members stop themselves from playing games, teenagers with internet addiction often beat and scold their parents and family members instead of admitting their mistakes. What’s more, if their requirements for playing games are not met, teenagers with Internet addiction may even kill their parents. On December 31 last year, such a tragedy happened in Hengnan County, Hengyang City, Hunan Province. A 13-year-old junior high school student killed his parents with a hammer because he couldn’t ask his parents for the internet fee. Such vicious cases related to Internet addiction have been common in the past few years.

  The China Youth Psychological Growth Base located in Beijing has not received many teenagers with Internet addiction from Beijing, accounting for only about 5%. This is another typical phenomenon that Internet addiction harms Chinese teenagers, that is, the bigger the city, the less serious the problem is, the situation in small and medium-sized cities is worse than that in big cities, and the problem of teenagers with Internet addiction in rural areas is the most serious.

  Tao Ran said that mainly because of the families in big cities, children get more perfect family education, and parents’ educational concepts are more scientific, so they will avoid and interfere with children’s excessive contact with video games as soon as possible. In addition, children in big cities have too many things to play and learn, and they don’t have so much time and space to indulge in online games.

  In contrast, children in rural areas are obviously lacking in family education, and some rural children may also be left behind. Grandparents are responsible for taking care of their children, and often have no more energy to restrain their children from surfing the Internet and playing mobile phones.

  Don’t think that the problem of internet addiction teenagers in rural areas is far away from those of us who live in big cities. Tao Ran said anxiously that in the future, after these left-behind children and internet addiction teenagers in rural areas enter the city, their psychological and personality problems caused by online games for a long time really need the attention of the whole society. "You can’t imagine who these internet addiction teenagers may hurt after what they encounter."

  Behind the name recognition of e-sports is the growing problem of teenagers’ internet addiction.

  On November 3, 2018, the League of Legends S8 season global finals, the IG team from China won the championship. For a time, domestic media rushed to report, including some mainstream media that had previously reserved their position on e-sports. Looking at the past two years, the exposure rate of e-sports in the media is getting higher and higher, from the analysis of professional industrialization of e-sports, to the reports that China players have repeatedly won good results in world competitions, and then to the discussion of e-sports entering the Asian Games and the Olympic Games. However, compared with the stricter control of the media in reporting e-sports in earlier years, today’s reports are more speculative and less cautious.

  Chen Can’s mother and Jason’s father, as the deepest appreciators of the serious harm caused by Internet addiction to teenagers, strongly oppose the increasingly obvious high profile of e-sports.

  E-sports and video games are different, but they are all based on video games. Children only see some media speculating on e-sports, so they have a tough reason to resist parents’ restrictions on playing games. But how many children can become world champions from an internet addiction teenager?

  Chen Can’s mother said, "For the development of e-sports, the state should have legislative supervision. Whether children can take the road of e-sports in the end depends on the evaluation of authoritative institutions to tell them whether they are suitable for the development of e-sports. Of course, we can’t completely ban e-sports, but we can’t mislead most children like this. "

  Jason’s father said, "Successful e-sports players are only a small part of the pyramid. It is actually very difficult to take the road of e-sports. In my opinion, the media should publicize it comprehensively and make minors and parents aware of this problem. Now, they only see the bright side, but rarely notice that it is impossible for everyone to become a professional player in e-sports, let alone win the championship. We can’t let it (game makers) dominate public opinion. We want everyone to clearly see the harmful aspect of Internet addiction. "

  In addition, Jason’s father also thinks that it is difficult for the state to strengthen the supervision of online games so that children don’t play at all, so the key is how to control them. Parents should also analyze why some children are addicted to online games and some children are not. The deeper reason of addiction is family education, so it is necessary to help children enhance their psychological quality and anti-frustration ability during their growth.

  For video games to expand publicity in the name of e-sports, Tao Ran’s suggestion is that e-sports must be over the age of 21 or 22 (equivalent to graduating from college) to participate. This avoids the participation of teenagers and young people whose brains are developing and whose "three views" are being established. E-sports can be played, but it must be played by adults over the age of 21 or 22. Tao Ran found that 80% of teenagers with Internet addiction wanted to become e-sports players, which actually became an excuse for them to indulge in online games.

  As far as schools are concerned, schools and teachers should publicize the dangers of excessive use of computers, electronic products and addiction to games just as they do anti-drugs. Instilling children with this danger from an early age may sprinkle venom in their hearts and sow the seeds of defense.

  In addition, schools and parents should encourage children to develop more hobbies. Tao Ran said that teenagers with Internet addiction have a common problem — — There are few hobbies, and parents have not cultivated their hobbies well since childhood. They only have to study, and suddenly they come into contact with this game, which must be interesting. Another is to cultivate children’s good interpersonal relationships from an early age. Now there are many only children, and children have no playmates, so they can only play computers and mobile phones. Tao Ran suggested that parents should raise a small animal for their children to release their energy and let them learn to care about others. In addition, parents should reduce or even eliminate electronic nanny products in the process of children’s education. Children under 8 years old are not recommended to touch video games. Children over 8 years old can play for half an hour every day from Monday to Friday and for one hour every day on weekends.

  In the past two years, there has been more and more publicity about e-sports in public opinion. Tao Ran believes that this is because some of our game manufacturers actually hold the tools of public opinion, which are the media while developing games. If the enterprises selling tobacco have mastered the media tools, can it still say that smoking is harmful to health? Therefore, game manufacturers will use their own media platforms to talk about the infringement of games on children, and say that games need to be controlled? An enterprise that grasps public opinion will certainly sing a song of praise for what it has developed.

  Then, as a game manufacturer, at the same time, it holds a powerful tool of public opinion. Is this inappropriate? Should we have a system similar to the Anti-Monopoly Law, forcibly divest the media platforms of these companies, or split enterprises?

  E-sports entering the Asian Games and possibly entering the Olympic Games is a hot topic of public opinion in recent two years, and it is also a powerful starting point for e-sports to carry out image innovation. However, the so-called competition of electronic games itself is still controversial.

  In September last year, Yi Jiandong, a famous sports scholar, put forward "Identification of Ten Problems in E-sports in China", pointing out that "E-sports, as a new intellectual competition and spiritual entertainment, is different from sports that seek to strengthen physical fitness or physical limits, and can develop independently according to its own laws. Putting e-sports into the sports system has many adverse effects on itself and sports, especially on the concept and value system of sports. The development of e-sports in China is under the special background of the immature youth sports in China, the highest myopia rate in the world, the prevalence of chronic diseases, the poor fitness atmosphere, and the seriously low fertility rate. It is necessary to get rational policy regulation and even levy special taxes on the industry in order to gradually achieve the coordinated effect of social economy and culture. The author suggests that the government and even e-sports investors support large-scale and long-term research on the defects, drawbacks and deficiencies of e-sports, so as to form an objective, fair and balanced e-sports research and communication pattern, thus realizing the rational, peaceful and sustainable development of e-sports. "

  Last December, at the Seventh Olympic Summit Forum hosted by the International Olympic Committee, some participants believed that the game industry where e-sports is located is business-driven, while sports is based on values. There is a huge difference in the basis of existence, which is why it is difficult for e-sports and sports to reach the same goal by different routes.

  Yi Jiandong said in "Identification of Top Ten Problems of E-sports in China", "From the current point of view, the IOC’s project selection rules and practices do not support the possibility of e-sports becoming an Olympic project in the near future."

  Beijing, February 18 th

Does the live broadcast of sports events constitute a film work? CCTV rebroadcasts NBA Tencent’s 500 million investment?

 Author: Music Entertainment Law

On October 12th, 2020, under the leadership of lebron james, the Los Angeles Lakers won the championship again after ten years, which is undoubtedly the best gift for Lakers fans who lost Black Mamba Kobe Bryant in 2020. Before the Lakers won the championship, it was probably the best news for fans that CCTV replayed the NBA.

In 2019, due to inappropriate remarks made by general manager of NBA Rockets about Hong Kong, which seriously hurt the national feelings of fans in China and China, CCTV decided to stop broadcasting NBA-related events. Even Tencent Sports, which bought the exclusive rights of NBA events in the next five years with a huge sum of money, once stopped broadcasting NBA. Fortunately, CCTV did not completely ban the NBA. Tencent Sports "quietly" rebroadcast the NBA in October 2019. After all, 500 million investment cannot be wasted.

But for fans, Tencent Sports’ high membership fee makes them flinch, so the rebroadcasting of NBA on CCTV Sports Channel is undoubtedly not a "big welfare" for fans. At this time, Xiao Bian, who is an NBA enthusiast and a legal practitioner, is puzzled. Can live sports events be copyrighted as movies? CCTV rebroadcasts the NBA. Is Tencent’s 500 million investment wasted? If you have the same question, let’s find out with Xiaobian!

1. Does the live broadcast of NBA sports events constitute the object of copyright protection?

In recent years, whether it is Qiong Yao v. Zheng Yu or Jin Yong v. Jiangnan, the controversy behind it shows that copyright is getting more and more attention and protection. Universal copyright convention and Berne Convention both express the need to protect human intelligence and creative achievements. As a participating country of the Convention, China has also made protective provisions on copyright.

According to the relevant provisions of China’s Copyright Law, the copyright owner enjoys the copyright, and no individual or unit may infringe upon the copyright of others. Article 3 stipulates that the objects protected by China’s Copyright Law include (1) written works; (2) Oral works; (3) Works of music, drama, folk art, dance and acrobatics; (4) Works of art and architecture; (5) Photographic works; (6) cinematographic works and works created by methods similar to cinematography; (seven) engineering design drawings, product design drawings, maps, schematic drawings and other graphic works and model works; (8) Computer software, etc.

As a kind of live broadcast of sports events, the live broadcast of NBA sports events mainly focuses on shooting and broadcasting the live events of sports events. Can this kind of live broadcast of sports events constitute a film work or a work created by a method similar to filming, and then be protected by copyright?

According to the Regulations for the Implementation of the Copyright Law, the works protected by the Copyright Law refer to the intellectual achievements that are original and can be reproduced in some tangible form in the fields of literature, art and science. Therefore, to analyze whether the live broadcast of NBA matches belongs to the object of copyright protection, it mainly depends on whether the live broadcast is original and whether it can be copied in some tangible form.

1.1 How to identify originality?

International copyright treaties, such as Berne Convention and Copyright Treaty of the World Intellectual Property Organization, have not specifically recognized originality. Because of different legal systems, different countries have different understandings of originality.

1.1.1 "forehead sweat standard" and "floor standard" in common law system.

The anglo-American legal system first made it clear in the Bleistein case in 1903 that the work needed to be completed by the author independently. In later practice, Britain and the United States took "whether to work or not" as one of the factors to identify originality in order to protect the author’s labor when creating works, which is also what we call "forehead sweat standard".

In the Anglo-American legal system at this time, the court decided whether the work was original or not mainly by considering whether the work was independently completed by the author and whether the corresponding labor was invested. At this time, originality did not pay too much attention to the "creativity" of the work.

Subsequently, in the Feist phone book case in 1991, the court began to emphasize the "creativity" of the work, that is, if the author simply put in labor, he could not determine that his work was original, but also needed a certain degree of creativity. However, Britain and the United States did not clearly define the "more or less" of creativity, but adopted the "floor standard", that is, creativity can be recognized as long as there is a small amount of creativity.

We can see from it that,British and American countries identify originality mainly on the basis of "independence"-independent labor completion and "creation"-creativity.

1.1.2 High standards of civil law countries

Different from the lower standard "floor standard" adopted by Britain and the United States, the countries of civil law system are more strict in determining originality. Taking Germany as an example, it believes that originality requires the production of works to be creative labor input, and the labor input at this time is not just a simple labor input when the forehead sweats, but requires certain creativity. In other words,The originality at this time requires that the work can reflect the author’s intelligence and thoughts and feelings, and the expression of these thoughts and feelings needs to reach the level of reflecting the author’s personality..

At the same time, creativity is not as low as the "floor standard" required by Britain and the United States, but requires a high degree of creativity. This is mainly because in civil law countries, works are regarded as the children of the author, and works are the extension of the author’s personality spirit and the embodiment of the author’s thoughts and feelings. It regards copyright as a personal right, so it adopts this high standard to protect the author’s rights.

1.1.3 China’s originality standard

There is no clear legal provision on originality in legislation in China, and domestic scholars have different opinions on it. Professor Cui Guobin believes that originality requires independent creation and the creative result has the lowest degree of creativity; Professor Li Mingde believes that the author has invested in intellectual labor and has the lowest degree of creativity when creating works; Professor Wang Qian believes that originality requires that "the work product should be independently completed by the author" and "the creation of the work product should have a certain degree of creativity" …

Analysis of the views of scholars, it is not difficult to find that their recognition of originality has one thing in common."the lowest degree of creativity"This shows that our country has not adopted the high standard of originality similar to that of civil law countries, but only requires the lowest degree of creativity, which is also reflected in judicial practice.

1.2 Is the live broadcast of NBA events original?

Combined with the above introduction to the identification of originality, is it original for the live broadcast of sports events? In this regard, everyone has different views. Some people think that the focus of live broadcast of sports events lies in sports events, which are interpreted by athletes, and the filmmakers only record and broadcast according to the needs of watching the games, which should only constitute video products. However, some people think that recording sports events also reflects the intelligence and thoughts of the recorder and has certain originality.

Speaking of this, we have to mention "the first case of China’s game broadcast", that is, the five-year-long "Sina v. Fenghuang. com infringement case". After the first trial, second trial and retrial, the Beijing Higher People’s Court recently made a retrial judgment, overturning the second trial judgment, and found that the involvement of Phoenix Net and its operator Beijing Tianying Kyushu Network Technology Company infringed the copyright of Sina Internet Information Service Co., Ltd.It is believed that the live broadcast of sports events is original and constitutes a film work, which can be protected by copyright.

This case can be described as full of twists and turns. In the first instance, the court held that "the selection and arrangement of the recording shots of the competition to form a new picture for viewing is a creative labor, and the creativity will produce different picture effects due to different choices and different productions, which further reflects its creativity." That is to say, in the judgment of the first instance, the court found that the picture formed by the recording of the competition constituted the requirement of the originality of the work in China’s copyright law and belonged to the works protected by the copyright law.

However, in the second trial, the court classified this kind of film production as documentary film production, and determined it according to the original identification standard of documentary film production, so it was considered that it was not a film production, but a video production.

Subsequently, Sina did not recognize the judgment and filed a retrial with the Beijing Higher People’s Court. The Beijing Higher People’s Court held that the lowest level of creativity was adopted in the determination of originality in China. In other words, China only discussed the "existence" of creativity, not the "quantity" of creativity. The recording process of sports events reflected the choice of shooting angle, lens switching, shooting scenes and objects, selection, editing, arrangement and shooting pictures. In the final judgment of the Beijing Higher People’s Court, the court found that the live broadcast of the event involved constituted "a work created in a way similar to making a film".

From the above cases, we can see that,The live broadcast of sports events is original because it embodies the photographer’s unique ideas in the filming process.In the process of live broadcast of NBA events, Tencent Sports will not only film itself, but also explain it outside the picture, which is original in both the filming idea and the presentation of the explanation. Therefore, according to the existing judicial practice, we can conclude that the live broadcast of NBA events is original.

1.3 Does the live broadcast of the event belong to a certain medium?

We know that the live broadcast of sports events needs to be filmed on a certain medium if it wants to constitute a film work. In the case of Sina v. Fenghuang. com, the court of second instance found that Sina’s live broadcast of the Super League did not fix the filming on a certain medium, which exceeded the definition of film works in Article 4 of the Regulations for the Implementation of Copyright Law.This article stipulates that cinematographic works and works created by methods similar to cinematography refer to works that are filmed on a certain medium and consist of a series of pictures with or without sound, and are projected by means of appropriate devices or disseminated by other means.However, the regulation does not regard fixation or stable fixation as the constitutive requirements for determining whether a work is a work, so "shooting on a certain medium" should be interpreted broadly and leniently, so it is also affirmed in the judicial judgment that the live broadcast of the game belongs to shooting on a certain medium.

To sum up, if the live broadcast of sports events can reflect the individual choice and arrangement of the filmmakers, rather than just mechanical recording, it will be original, and the broad media interpretation also shows that the live broadcast of sports events meets the requirements of "shooting on a certain medium". Therefore, if Tencent Sports Live NBA matches meet the above requirements, it can also be the object of copyright protection. In fact, as early as before this judicial decision, the live broadcast of sports events was difficult to be recognized as a film work, and the filmmakers were easily infringed by their peers. In the face of such infringement, how did they do it?

Second, the infringement that may be involved in the live broadcast of sports events

2.1 may constitute unfair competition

Among many litigation disputes involved in live broadcast of sports events, the most common one is unfair competition dispute, which is mainly due to the fact that in the previous judicial practice, the products formed by live broadcast of sports events are difficult to be recognized as works protected by copyright law. Therefore, under normal circumstances, many infringers will choose to file a lawsuit on the grounds that the infringer violated the Anti-Unfair Competition Law. For example, in the case of CCTV International v. "I love chatting", the court decided that I love chatting about the company’s behavior of "broadcasting" CCTV related channels on its "tv powder" client.Although it does not constitute a broadcast act as stipulated in Article 45 of the Copyright Law, it obviously violates the market principle of fair competition, undermines the market competition mechanism, violates the principle of good faith and recognized business ethics, and constitutes unfair competition.

2.2 may constitute a violation of the right to disseminate information on the Internet.

Through the previous judicial practice, we can see that it is difficult to identify the products produced by the live broadcast of such sports events as movies or works created by similar methods. During the filming of 2014 fifa world cup TV program, Stormwind broadcasted the live broadcast of the events produced by CCTV, which is similar to the case of Sina v. Phoenix. In the second instance, the court did not identify the live broadcast of the events produced by CCTV International as movies, because according to the relevant provisions of China’s copyright law, if it cannot be identified as movies, it should be regarded as video products. Therefore, the broadcast behavior of Stormwind Technology also constitutes an infringement on the information network communication right of CCTV International.

Of course, in the latest retrial judgment of "CCTV International v. Stormwind Technology" on October 9, 2020, we found that, like Sina v. Phoenix.com, the Beijing Higher People’s Court once again determined that CCTV International’s live sports events constitute film works, which also gave new guidance to courts at all levels in the future in judging similar cases, that is, live sports events can be recognized as film works if they meet the relevant recognition conditions. This is a breakthrough, and this kind of judgment also shows that the criteria for determining the originality of a work do not reflect the level, but only the presence or absence. Such progress is conducive to solving the problem of protection of sports programs. We know that the most important thing about this kind of sports events is timeliness, and viewers rarely watch them again after watching them. Therefore, if only the live sports events constitute video products, it will be difficult to stop unauthorized TV broadcasting and Internet broadcasting due to the "safe haven principle" involved in the right of network information dissemination, which is likely to bring irreparable losses to the producers of the programs. At the same time, it is considered that it is difficult to solve the demand of subsequent program trading and protection only by the Anti-Unfair Competition Law.

Third, is it worthwhile for Tencent to spend 500 million yuan to buy the exclusive broadcasting rights?

From the above analysis, we can see that the live broadcast of sports events can already constitute a film work in copyright. After Tencent bought the sole broadcast right, if other video broadcast platforms broadcast the live broadcast of the events recorded by Tencent, it will constitute an infringement of Tencent Sports, and Tencent Sports can file an infringement lawsuit for compensation.

At the same time, Tencent Sports can monopolize the domestic live broadcast of this event by virtue of its exclusive broadcasting rights, and Tencent Sports charges a high membership fee and its various reward functions will bring more profits to Tencent. Tencent’s signing the NBA this time and buying its exclusive broadcasting rights for the next five years can be said to be very cost-effective. Despite the influence of the suspension of NBA broadcast by CCTV last year, Tencent can still make huge profits as the only live broadcast platform in China.

In fact, there is still a "hidden knowledge point" here. Why did Tencent buy the sole broadcasting right and CCTV still broadcast it? This is mainly because the NBA gives some NBA games broadcasting rights or highlights to CCTV Sports Channel free of charge every year, and Tencent Sports buys online live broadcast rights, while CCTV is a live TV broadcast, which has no conflict of interest with Tencent Sports’ exclusive broadcast rights. Therefore, although Tencent bought exclusive broadcast rights, it is only online live broadcast rights, and CCTV can still broadcast them for free on sports channels.

After knowing this "hidden knowledge point", will you choose Tencent or CCTV in the future?

All the people know how to entertain and know more about the law.

Fast running & striding, have you chosen the right running method for you?

As many runners know, there are two kinds of running postures, namely, quick running and striding.

In fact, there is no difference between the two running methods. Runners can choose the running method that suits them according to their body shape and muscle strength.

This article will briefly analyze the characteristics and differences between the two for everyone.

First, the brisk running method

Trot refers to a running method that uses a smaller stride to speed up the pace frequency. This running method can not only reduce the up-and-down movement range of the body, ensure the stability of the running state, but also reduce the burden on the feet, which is suitable for practitioners who have no exercise habits.

There are several key points in brisk running:

Summary: The brisk running method can easily speed up or slow down the running pace by controlling the pace. When the exerciser wants to increase the speed, he will unconsciously increase the stride, which will increase the burden on his feet. Therefore, by speeding up the pace frequency, the running speed can be improved while minimizing the burden on his feet.

Second, the striding method

The striding method is different from the brisk running method. It is a kind of running method that can show vitality and be more ornamental by increasing the stride length to improve the speed.

It is reasonable to say that if we can speed up the pace frequency on the basis of increasing the stride, it will be the fastest running method, but the strode running method has a greater impact when landing, which requires runners to have corresponding muscle strength. Stride running is suitable for runners with good physical strength, strong muscle strength and long legs (higher height).

It is difficult for beginners to judge whether they have the muscle strength and physique needed for striding. Therefore, it is suggested to adopt brisk running first, and then gradually increase the stride to find the stride that suits them best.

The striding method has the following key points:

In short, determining the running method suitable for your body shape and muscle strength is helpful to achieve the goal of running the whole course or shorten the completion time.

The 6th CBSA Chinese Billiards World Championship was grandly opened, and all kinds of talents at home and abroad gathered in Yushan to compete for the highest honor.

China Economic Weekly-Economic News On December 8, the opening ceremony of the 6th CBSA Chinese Billiards World Championship in China Jiangxi Shangrao Yushan was staged in Yushan Sports Center Square.

Peach blossom snow, thunder and snow … Many places in Henan issued a red warning of blizzard! Netizen: "It snows when the flowers bloom, have no martial ethics."

Since the evening before yesterday, the temperature in Hangzhou has turned straight down.

At 15 o’clock the day before yesterday, the temperature in Hangzhou was 26.1℃, and at 23 o’clock in the evening, the temperature was only 12.2℃. In just 8 hours, the temperature dropped by nearly 14℃. Yesterday, the lowest temperature in Hangzhou was 11℃. The temperature in the whole day seemed to have no heartbeat, and there was almost no fluctuation. By 14 o’clock, the temperature in Hangzhou was only 11.4℃.

Just when Hangzhou people "spit" spring is like the four seasons, many friends said:Not only is the four seasons in Hangzhou chaotic, but it snows heavily in Henan!

With the cold air heading south, rain and snow occurred in parts of Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Hubei and other places from yesterday morning to morning, and snowfall mainly occurred in southeastern Shaanxi, southwestern Shanxi and western Henan.

Yesterday morning, heavy snow fell in Luoyang, Henan Province, and "Snow in Henan" once rushed to the top of the hot search. In the afternoon, snowflakes floated in Zhengzhou, the provincial capital.

Yesterday morning to afternoon, the snowfall (turning into water) in Luanchuan, western Henan Province has exceeded 20 mm, reaching the level of heavy snowstorm. The local meteorological observatory has issued a yellow warning signal of snowstorm red warning signal and road icing. The snow is as thick as a quilt, and it is 18 cm at 14: 00, which is rare in March. The local snow record in March is 20 cm (March-April, 1992).

On March 16, many places in Henan ushered in snowfall, with moderate to heavy snow and partial blizzard in some areas. As of 15: 00, Lushi County, Songxian County, Ruzhou City, lingbao city City and Dengfeng City in Henan Province have issued red warnings for snowstorms. The reporter learned from the Henan Meteorological Bureau that this round of snowfall was mainly caused by low-level southward cold air and strong southerly warm and humid airflow.

Due to the rapid warming in the early stage, the current Henan is full of red flowers, green willows and green spring colors. And the arrival of this round of rain and snow cooling weather, press the "deceleration button" for spring warming. In Zhengzhou, the provincial capital, the rainfall that began to appear on the morning of the 16th gradually increased. In the afternoon, the sky was covered with patches of snow, and the temperature was also lower, and the chill burst. In Luoyang, Sanmenxia and other places, heavy snow fell from the sky and soon covered the earth with "white clothes".

According to the analysis of meteorologists from Henan Meteorological Bureau, this round of snowfall in Henan is mainly caused by the low-level southerly cold air and the strong southerly warm and humid airflow. On the 15th, the cold air southward caused a sudden drop in temperature, forming a cold air cushion near the ground. The abundant water vapor carried by the warm and humid airflow with strong southerly direction quickly climbed on the cold cushion, condensed or condensed, and then landed on the ground, forming the snowfall in Henan. In addition, the temperature in the western mountainous area of Henan province is lower, and the snowfall occurs earlier. The precipitation phase in the central area will gradually change from rain to sleet or snow with the further decrease of temperature.

According to the monitoring of Henan Meteorological Observatory, at 7: 00 to 11: 00 on March 16th, moderate rain and snow occurred in some counties and cities in Sanmenxia, Luoyang, Jiaozuo and Nanyang, and local snowstorms occurred. The top three snowfalls are Xin ‘an 19 mm, Lushi 10.3 mm and Luanchuan 9.6 mm respectively.

The Henan Meteorological Observatory predicts that there will be heavy precipitation from the afternoon of the 16th to the first half of the night, and some counties and cities such as Luoyang, Zhengzhou, Pingdingshan and Nanyang will have moderate to heavy snow and local snowstorms. Xinyang is rainy with lightning. After midnight, the precipitation gradually weakened and moved out of Henan Province.

The Henan Meteorological Observatory issued a blue warning of blizzard at 11: 00 on the same day: It is estimated that there will be more than 5 mm of snowfall in Sanmenxia, Luoyang, Pingdingshan, central and northern Nanyang, Zhengzhou, western Xuchang, Jiyuan, western Jiaozuo, western Xinxiang and western Anyang during the day and night, including more than 10 mm of snowfall in Sanmenxia, Luoyang, western Zhengzhou, western Pingdingshan and northern Nanyang. At 9: 30 on the same day, the Henan Meteorological Observatory also issued a yellow warning for road icing.

Snow in March is also called "Peach Blossom Snow"When the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the wind blows the petals like snow, and later people call the snowflakes falling with the peach blossoms peach blossom snow.

You know, a week ago, Zhengzhou experienced the "summer" in advance, and the highest temperature exceeded 30℃. A week later, it began to "peach blossom snow" in March, which was really a random crossing of the four seasons.

In addition, from the weather phenomenon and lightning monitoring, some parts of Henan province have been thundered and snowed.

Many netizens feel quite puzzled.It’s March, and it snows at this time, and it can also thunder and snow. Is it abnormal?

According to the analysis of China Weather Network,At this time, it is in the season of alternating cold and warm, and it is normal to snow. In previous years, it snowed in April.Snowfall is mainly caused by the combined influence of warm and humid airflow in the south and the cold air infiltrating from the lower level to the south, and some areas are also caused by topography. For example, in mountainous areas with higher altitude, the temperature is lower, which is prone to snowfall.

As the cold air moves south, rain and snow will also change in some areas, and the snowfall area will spread further south. For example, in Mianchi, Henan Province, it rained from about 5 am yesterday, and it snowed from around 6 am to 10 am. The accumulated snowfall has reached 9 mm.

The phenomenon of "thunder and snow" has also happened in many places.When it snows, because the strong warm and humid airflow meets the strong cold air, the warm and humid air is forced to rise, resulting in strong convection, which creates conditions for the formation of lightning, and the phenomenon of "thunder hitting snow" appears.

Some people say, "It snows in have no martial ethics only after the flowers bloom", while others care.: I wonder if crops will have an impact?

Henan Meteorology said that due to the lack of precipitation in Henan Province in the early stage, the proportion of 0 ~ 10 cm short of moisture monitoring stations reached 55% (note: moisture is an important monitoring indicator of drought, mainly reflecting the situation of soil water content), and the forest fire risk rating was also high.This rain and snow process is very beneficial to improving soil moisture, ensuring wheat growth and reducing forest fire danger.It is expected that the rain and snow will gradually stop in most areas in the latter half of the night, but the cold in spring is still there. In the morning after tomorrow, the temperature in Henan Province is mostly around 0-5℃, and there are many fogs at the same time.

Edwards, the new champion: another inspirational bad karma Eva from football field to NBA field

On the morning of November 19th, Beijing time, the 2020 NBA Draft was held online. The Timberwolves chose guard anthony edwards from the University of Georgia in the first round. The 19-year-old boy was elected as the No.1 pick in this year’s NBA, finally fulfilling his basketball dream and officially stepping onto the NBA stage. Edwards has the same inspirational story as jimmy butler. His earliest ambition was to become a football star, and all kinds of misfortunes and twists and turns in his growth eventually turned such a gifted sports genius into a basketball superstar in the future.
Edwards is 1.96 meters tall. On the draft template of American media, he resembles former Heat star Dwyane Wade or jazz general Donovan Mitchell, but his athletic talent seems to be better than both. As far as physical condition is concerned, Edwards is a strong defender. Besides his excellent scoring ability, he can also be a very qualified defender and can defend multiple positions, which makes Edwards look more balanced and comprehensive at both ends of the offense and defense. As a scorer, Edwards can attack with the ball or play without the ball. He can break through the opponent’s defense line and score in an unexpected way with accurate dry jump shot. In the last NCAA season, Edwards’ data was 19.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.3 steals. His outstanding athletic ability made Edwards full of impact when he switched between offense and defense, which was quite Wade’s style at the peak.
The talented Edwards also has some shortcomings. One is the lack of concentration on the court, which makes his play unstable, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and his state often fluctuates. Edwards is still quite "independent". His creed is "scoring first and passing second". This kind of play may bring problems in cooperation with teammates after entering the NBA. As a veteran of the rookie team, it is obvious that he will not accept a little player who has always controlled the ball in his own hands. In addition, as a shooting guard, Edwards’ 3-point shooting percentage is not high enough. His 3-point shooting percentage last season was only 29.4%.
Speaking of it, there are some unexpected and lucky elements in the future NBA stadium to have such a talented player. Because Edwards’ initial sports dream was to enter the NFL and become a football star, the unexpected injury changed his fate and the development of the two major professional leagues in North America. This may be exaggerated, but it is at least partially true.
Edwards, like many American teenagers with great sports talent, can choose multiple sports, which depends on his hobbies, opportunities, providence and so on. Edwards’ favorite sport since childhood is not basketball, but football. At the age of seven, he met a local football coach, Banks, who was very insightful in his hometown of Atlanta. The latter was moved at the sight of little Edwards. Banks said with emotion: "Strong calves, huge joints, fingers and wrists are natural materials for a football player." At that time, Edwards had shown his athletic talent far beyond his peers, taller and stronger, and began to become famous on the football field in primary schools.
Unfortunately, Edwards’ football career didn’t go smoothly, and he died almost when he was about to have a big development. At the age of nine, Edwards’ fate took a turning point. A sudden injury made him bid farewell to the football field completely. He was crushed on his foot by a big player who defended him in a game, resulting in a broken ankle. It seems that Edwards’ football career will be over, and even other sports will encounter difficulties. But at this time, his interest in basketball began to grow in Edwards’ body. After his foot injury healed, he became fascinated with basketball and his interest increased day by day. Fortunately, this injury did not seriously damage Edwards’ athletic ability. His legs were stronger and he jumped higher than before, which made him fully equipped to become a basketball player. But even after he made great progress in the field of basketball, Edwards still remembered the glory and fun brought by football. He said that if he could be selected in the NFL draft, he would definitely leave basketball. His favorite is football.
After graduating from high school, Edwards chose to go to the University of Georgia instead of going to North Carolina and Duke. At that time, his vertical takeoff height had reached 1.054 meters, which was amazing. "The height of 1.96 meters, less than 100 kilograms, can jump so high at the age of 17, you can imagine his future." This is the emotion that sean hayes, the strength training coach of the University of Georgia men’s basketball team, expressed when he saw Edwards’ athletic ability. After further observing Edwards’ training and competition, Coach Hayes said, "There are some things that I will never understand. I watched him throw and dunk, dunk with a windmill and dunk with a tomahawk. Most people will leave the court to find a glass of water after a high-intensity training, but he will stay on the court and dunk with himself with a smile." This may be the difference between Edwards and ordinary people. He is destined to enter the NBA, but what is higher than most people’s expectations is that Edwards started his NBA career as the No.1 scholar with infinite glory.
As many fans know, the story of the most frustrated family among the active NBA stars and the most positive story later happened to Heat star jimmy butler, which is almost the most touching growth story of an inspirational player who went from homeless to finals. Anthony edwards, who is now the new top scholar, has a similar experience.
In Edwards’ childhood, two people played a vital role in his growth, that is, his mother and grandmother. Regrettably, Edwards, who is less than 20 years old, and his two closest relatives have already passed away. When Edwards was 14 years old, he lost his mother first, and then his grandmother. Both of them died of ovarian cancer, which hit young Edwards hard. The young man once said, "Only two people can get all my trust, but it’s over. Now no one can get my trust." This is the reason for his dull personality, and the death of two of his most important relatives has left Edwards with defects in his personality. Edwards’ brother Buba once recalled: "In our whole life, our mothers and grandmothers supported us the most and loved us the most. They died in the same year, which is a huge blow to us. This will make your heart cold and you will never get the support and love you once received. " Edwards also recalled the past in an interview. Many years ago, he wrote two goals on the bedroom wall: "the future McDonald’s all-American team member" and "the future NBA player". When seeing Edwards make a mess of the clean wall, grandma was not angry, but said to him very proudly, "Son, you have set goals for yourself, and I hope you can achieve them."
Edwards said that he loves basketball, but he admitted that he hasn’t really devoted himself to it. There are many contradictions in Edwards’ statement. For example, he said that basketball ranks first in his heart now. He loves basketball and basketball is his life. But he also said, "This is because basketball can help me accomplish many things that I need to accomplish. This is a job, and I need to use this job to support my family and make my family happy." This may be the maturity brought by the unique growth experience to the young man. What is more important than interest and love is pragmatism.
But in any case, starting from the 2020-21 season, there will be a newcomer with unlimited potential in the NBA. Perhaps, this newcomer will become a superstar in the future.
