According to the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China, without the consent of the portrait rights holder, the portrait rights holder shall not use or disclose the portrait of the portrait rights holder by means of publication, reproduction, distribution, rental, exhibition, etc. The portrait rights of others must not be infringed upon by any organization or individual by means such as insult or slander.
As a public figure, Yang Mi's portrait rights are protected by law, and no unit or individual may use his portrait for commercial activities without permission. If the trading company used Yang Mi's portrait right for commercial activities without his permission, it would constitute an infringement.
The court ruled that the trading company apologized to Yang Mi and compensated 18,470 yuan, which was to safeguard Yang Mi's legitimate rights and interests. At the same time, it also reminds other companies and individuals to respect the portrait rights of others and not to use other people's portraits for commercial activities without authorization. #How to understand the law# #Legal issues around you# #人身侵害赔偿#
