I don't know when it started, celebrities' indictment letters have become the norm, and the global brother Wang Yibo has safeguarded the rights and interests of celebrities with a portrait right lawsuit.
According to media reports, Wang Yibo recently successfully won a portrait rights dispute case and was finally awarded 200,000 yuan in compensation. The Shanghai Jiading People's Court conducted a second-instance trial of the case and ruled that the defendant company's unauthorized use of Wang Yibo's image to engage in commercial publicity did constitute infringement.
In this regard, although the defendant company has been deregistered in November 2023, it is still enforced by the court and forced to pay 200,000 yuan in compensation to Wang Yibo. It is not difficult for us to find that this number is not small, which shows that the court is not soft on the infringement of celebrity portrait rights.
You must know that in today's Internet celebrity era, the fame and commercial value of celebrities are being targeted by more and more people. Once the portrait is illegally abused, it will not only affect the image of the artist, but also bring huge economic losses.
For example, in the lawsuit won by Wang Yibo this time, the defendant company had made his photos into commodities for sale, which was obviously an act of taking the lead and intending to make profits. If the punishment is not severe, I am afraid that more people who engage in favoritism and fraud will take advantage of the loopholes, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
Wang Yibo won 200,000 compensation in one fell swoop this time, which actually gave all the stars a dose of "reassurance". In the past, the biggest concern was that even if the lawsuit was won, the infringer would not be truly punished. However, through this judgment, it can be seen that the court has determined and punished such acts severely.
On another level, Wang Yibo's victory as a man is undoubtedly an encouragement and spur for all celebrities to defend their rights. The world is really not peaceful, and if the rights and interests of artists cannot be properly protected, I am afraid it will be difficult to concentrate on work.
In fact, with the increasing awareness of celebrities to protect their rights, in recent years, there have been more and more artists who have used legal weapons to fight back against black fans and rumors.
Not long ago, Bai Jingting also applied for enforcement after winning a reputation dispute. Xiao Zhan has repeatedly belittled and slandered his black fans, and the shameless loser was sentenced to a high fine.
Therefore, although the professional aura of celebrities has always been envied, they have also put too much effort behind them. If even the basic personal freedom and reputation rights are not guaranteed, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have any motivation to concentrate on work.
It's time for keyboard warriors who are always making personal attacks and online violence against celebrities. Regardless of whether the original intention is good or evil, the act has been illegal, and it is a matter of course to bear the corresponding legal responsibility.
And the celebrities are winning their lawsuits one by one, showing that the Internet is no longer a place outside the law, and the era of disorder and presumptuous is gone. In the future, if anyone still persists, they will definitely pay an even heavier price.
There have also been some voices in the workplace who think that celebrities' demands for the protection of reputation rights are a bit excessive, but in fact, rights are used to maintain.
We live in a harmonious society where everyone should be equally protected. The fame and wealth of celebrities are enviable, but that doesn't mean they have to endure abuse and personal attacks. On the contrary, their life achievements through professionalism and dedication should be respected and maintained.
Therefore, as long as the demands of the stars are reasonable, I believe that more artists will follow Wang Yibo's footsteps in protecting their rights in the future. Because no one can tolerate the violation of one's personal rights by others.
In addition to the protection of the law, each of us ordinary people should also cherish everyone's rights and interests in an attitude of mutual respect, and contribute to the construction of this harmonious and orderly society.
