Is it infringing to edit TV series in Tik Tok?

This is an infringement. 1. The copyright of TV series belongs to the producer and is sold in the market. However, if the edited TV series published in Tik Tok is used for commercial propaganda and advertising, it is an infringement according to the provisions of the Copyright Law, even if it is not used for commercial purposes. Previously, a well-known film critic was sued to the court by the TV drama copyright owner for the content infringement he produced. This is also the trend of strengthening the legal protection of the original copyright of works.

2. Short video has the characteristics of short time, short production cycle and fast propagation speed, which can better meet the needs of fragmented expression and fragmented time viewing in today's Internet era, thus winning wide favor in the market. Therefore, short video has also been given a brand-new life, which can often bring greater economic benefits to the short video operating website platform.

3. However, for the rights holders of film and television works, a large number of directly edited film and television works fragments or secondary processed fragments and highlights that exist on the short video platform without permission have become the difficulties and dilemmas of the rights holders of film and television works, and also greatly damaged the legitimate rights and interests of the rights holders of film and television works.
