Is forwarding public service advertisements infringing?

First, is it infringement to forward video advertisements?

If it is for profit, then it is illegal and infringing to reprint other people's works with the consent of the copyright owner or pay the fee. If the other party holds you accountable, you will have to make financial compensation. Of course, if it is only for personal use or study, the general reprinting is legal.

Second, what are the acts of copyright infringement?

(1) The fact of infringement is that the actor uses the copyright owner's works, performances, audio-visual products, radio and television programs without the permission of the copyright owner and in accordance with the conditions of use stipulated in the Copyright Law. Copyright infringement, without the consent of the author and other copyright owners, is not a case of fair use and legal use, but an unauthorized use of the work, so it is a violation of copyright law. This kind of infringement may damage the personal rights and property rights of other people's works at the same time. For example, illegally copying other people's works may only infringe on the property rights of other people's works, while counterfeiting other people's works often infringes on the personal rights and property rights of other people's works at the same time.

(2) the behavior is illegal. Copyright is an absolute right, and everyone has the obligation of inaction that cannot infringe this right. Others must abide by the relevant provisions of the copyright law and other laws when using copyrighted works. If the actor violates the law, his behavior is illegal. As for works that are not protected by China's copyright law, works that fail to obtain copyright, or "works" that have entered the public domain, there is no infringement problem when others use them.

(3) The actor is subjectively at fault. The so-called fault refers to the mental state held by the infringer on his own tort and its consequences, including intentional and negligent forms. Most acts of copyright infringement are intentional; There are also a few that can be constituted by intention or negligence. Distinguishing the forms of fault is of certain significance for determining the legal responsibility of the infringer. Generally speaking, the legal liability of intentional infringement is heavier than that of negligent infringement.
