Research On Copyright Of Other Audiovisual Works

In 2020,the Copyright Law officially established the term "audiovisual works" to replace the original term "cinematographic works and audiovisual works".In addition,the new law also adopted a binary ownership rule for audiovisual works,attributing the rights of cinematographic works and TV series works to the producers.The determination of the ownership of these two types of works is essentially the same as before the modification,The biggest difference is that the ownership rules for "other audio-visual works" adopt highly innovative provisions.Unlike the provisions in paragraph 1,the new law adopts the rule of "agreement first,and in the absence of an agreement,it belongs to the producer".Due to the fact that many stakeholders in audio-visual works do not have an agreement,or even if there is an agreement,the agreement is difficult for others to know,which will bring great uncertainty to the utilization of various new types of video works,Increase legal risk in transactions.This paper aims to clarify the differences between "other audio-visual works" and "movies" and "TV series works",analyze the extension and connotation of the concept of "other audio-visual works",explore the relationship between producers and authors,producers and performers,and copyright owners and broadcasting organizations in the process of creating "other audio-visual works",and ultimately determine their copyright ownership.
