According to the Legal Daily, the phenomenon of "copying" stolen pictures and videos frequently occurs on short video platforms and social platforms. Many bloggers said that the videos they posted on their personal social accounts were directly misappropriated without the source, and even because of this, others impersonated their identities and spread rumors. This kind of situation usually faces the dilemma of difficulty in reporting. Even if the report is successful, the other party may just take down or delete the video, which is difficult to solve the problem fundamentally.

Relevant cases show that most of the copied images and videos are aimed at utilitarian motives such as attracting traffic and increasing fans, commercial promotion, and enhancing account influence. They have exceeded the scope of normal use for personal learning, research, appreciation or introduction of commentary works, news reporting, classroom teaching, scientific research, etc., and are suspected of infringing on the copyright owner's right of authorship, right of information network dissemination and other rights, and are likely to confuse and mislead the audience, and even bring related troubles to the original creator.

At present, there are many difficulties for original creators to protect their rights - the number of infringements is large, and it is difficult to determine the identity of the infringer; some infringements are "transient" and quickly sink in new information flows, making it difficult for original creators to discover infringements; the rights protection rules and division of responsibilities of relevant platforms are unclear, the threshold for evidence protection is high, the procedures are cumbersome, the litigation cycle is long, and the cost paid by infringers is low... Many original creators find rights protection tiring and troublesome, lack sufficient confidence and patience in rights protection, and even give up rights protection, which in turn will cause infringers to ignore the infringement and harm of stolen images and videos, and encourage infringers' fluke and speculative mentality.
