Is it illegal to edit TV series clips?

Legal analysis: The video material cited is to express a certain point of view or to illustrate one thing, so this kind of editing should not be considered an infringement. The copyright owner enjoys complete copyright, and unauthorized use of film and television drama works without authorization obviously constitutes infringement. Cutting and splicing works into fragments without the permission of the copyright owner does not comply with the fair use situation stipulated in the Copyright Law of the People's Republic of China. In addition, a large number of core episodes and highlights of film and television dramas are disseminated and continuously recommended, which has constituted a substantial replacement for the original film and television works. Therefore, editing film and television dramas into fragments and uploading them to the platform for broadcasting constitutes copyright infringement of the original work.

Legal basis: "Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China" Article 4 If a natural person, legal person or other organization needs to obtain the exclusive right to trademark for its goods or services in the course of production and business activities, it shall apply to the Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China for its goods or services. Apply for trademark registration with the Trademark Office. Bad-faith trademark registration applications that are not intended for use shall be rejected. The provisions of this Law regarding commodity trademarks shall apply to service trademarks.
