CTOnews.com, October 13, according to the Sichuan View News, the Chengdu Internet Court today handed down its verdict on the country's first dispute over the sound rights of film and television lines. The court ordered the second defendant to apologize to the plaintiff and compensate the plaintiff for economic loss of 30,000 yuan.

The case was caused by the use of plaintiff actor Sun Honglei's film and TV series in the online games sold by the second defendant game company. The original told that the second defendant, without his authorization, developed and designed the game involved in the case for the purpose of profit, which objectively constituted an infringement on his voice rights and interests, and in this game, the plaintiff's personality elements were used to shape the image of the bad person. at the same time, it infringed upon the general personality rights of the plaintiff, so he asked the court to order the second defendant to make a public apology and compensate the plaintiff for economic losses and compensation for mental damage.

Chengdu Railway Transport first Court (Chengdu Internet Court) held that the voice and portrait of a natural person, as a symbol of the personality of a natural person, has the attribute of personality right. The second defendant uses his voice in games developed, produced and operated without the consent of Sun Honglei himself or the copyright owner of Sun Honglei's licensed film and television works, which constitutes an infringement of sound rights and interests. However, the character image design in the game comes from the role setting of film and television works, and it does not obviously deviate from the original play setting in the game production. In the objective performance, the game characters involved in the case point to the characters in movies and TV dramas, and the rational cognition of the general public does not identify the game characters of the villains as Sun Honglei's own social cognition and evaluation, based on the interruption of the relationship of identification and direction. does not constitute the infringement of general personality rights.

CTOnews.com previously reported that Chengdu Sleeping God Fei Technology Co., Ltd. and Beijing Sleepy Shenfei Technology Co., Ltd. were sued by Sun Honglei because the game software used lines from actor Sun Honglei's classic movie "conquer" in the game software.
