What is the crime of stealing other people’s pictures?

It is generally not illegal to steal other people's pictures, it is an infringement. The details are as follows:

1. If you infringe the right of authorship and use other people's works, you should specify your name and the title of the work; however, unless otherwise agreed by the parties or unable to specify due to the specificity of the use of the work. However, the report also pointed out that the protection of authorship rights cannot be generalized, and the actual use method and purpose of the work should be considered, and industry habits or business practices should be respected;

2. The right of modification refers to all rights enjoyed by oneself or others in accordance with the law. The right to authorize others to modify the work they have created. Under normal circumstances, unauthorized modification of a work by others is an infringement of the right to modification;

3. Protect the integrity of the work. Protecting the integrity of the work focuses on protecting the ideas and the ideas expressed in the work. Others shall not alter the work through distortion, tampering, etc. to cause readers to misunderstand the work and ideas. Distortion refers to deliberately changing the true appearance of things or making incorrect reflections of things, which has a derogatory connotation; tampering refers to using false means to alter or misinterpret classics, theories, policies, etc. Infringement of the right to protect the integrity of a work requires the perpetrator to misinterpret the work based on subjective intention, so that the meaning expressed in the work is significantly different from the intended meaning.
