I. Copyright protection of film works

As audio-visual works, film works are protected by copyright law. According to the Copyright Law, the copyright of a film work belongs to the producer, and no unit or individual may use, copy, distribute, perform, show, broadcast or disseminate the film work to the public through the information network without permission.

Second, the illegality of shooting without permission.

Shooting a film without authorization, that is, shooting and producing the film content without the authorization or permission of the producer, infringes the copyright of the producer. In addition, if the content of the film involves the portrait rights and privacy rights of others, it may also infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of others.

Third, the legal provisions of film distribution.

Shooting a film without permission and publishing it on the network platform or other media not only violates the copyright of the producer, but also violates the relevant laws and regulations on the right of information network communication. The right of information network communication is the right enjoyed by copyright owners to provide works to the public through the network, so that the public can obtain works at their chosen time and place. Without the permission of the copyright owner, no one may spread the work through the Internet without authorization.

Four. Consequences of illegal acts

Shooting and publishing a film without permission will face legal sanctions once it is discovered and confirmed. The infringer may have to bear civil responsibilities such as stopping the infringement, eliminating the influence, making an apology, compensating for the losses, and may even bear criminal responsibility.

To sum up:

It is illegal to shoot and publish a film without permission, which violates the legitimate rights and interests of filmmakers and related rights holders, and violates the copyright law and the relevant laws and regulations on the right of information network communication. Any unit or individual shall respect the intellectual property rights of others, abide by laws and regulations, and shall not use, copy, distribute, perform, show, play or disseminate film works to the public through information networks without authorization.
