Is it illegal to steal or change someone else?

At present, other people's pictures circulating on the Internet are all copyrighted. We can't use pictures posted by others on the Internet casually, nor can we use them directly without permission. Modifying pictures is also infringement. Then I will introduce pictures about others to you and modify the relevant content of infringement. First, is it infringement to modify other people's pictures?

1, the copyright owner has the right to protect the integrity of the work, but as long as the parties modify the picture for their own use, not for commercial use, not in public, this does not constitute infringement.

2. It is an infringement to modify other people's pictures without other people's consent and publish them publicly, which affects the reputation of others.

Second, what are the conditions for determining copyright infringement?

Acts of copyright infringement must meet the following three conditions:

1, the fact of infringement is that the actor uses the copyright owner's works, performances, audio-visual products and radio and television programs without the permission of the copyright owner and in accordance with the conditions of use stipulated in the copyright law. Copyright infringement, without the consent of the author and other copyright owners, is not a case of fair use and legal use, but an unauthorized use of the work, so it is a violation of copyright law. This kind of infringement may damage the personal rights and property rights of other people's works at the same time. For example, illegally copying other people's works may only infringe on the property rights of other people's works, while counterfeiting other people's works often infringes on the personal rights and property rights of other people's works at the same time.

2. The behavior is illegal. Copyright is an absolute right, and everyone has the obligation of inaction that cannot infringe this right. Others must abide by the relevant provisions of the copyright law and other laws when using copyrighted works. If the actor violates the law, his behavior is illegal. As for works that are not protected by China's copyright law, works that fail to obtain copyright, or "works" that have entered the public domain, there is no infringement problem when others use them.

3. The actor is subjectively at fault. The so-called fault refers to the mental state of the infringer's infringement and its consequences, including intentional and negligent forms. Most acts of copyright infringement are intentional; There are also a few that can be constituted by intention or negligence. Distinguishing the forms of fault is of certain significance for determining the legal responsibility of the infringer. Generally speaking, the legal liability of intentional infringement is heavier than that of negligent infringement.

3. What is the compensation standard for infringement of intellectual property rights?

The amount of compensation for infringement of patent rights shall be determined according to the actual losses suffered by the obligee due to infringement; If the actual loss is difficult to determine, it can be determined according to the interests obtained by the infringer due to infringement. If it is difficult to determine the loss of the obligee or the interests of the infringer, it shall be reasonably determined by reference to the multiple of the patent license fee. The amount of compensation shall also include the reasonable expenses paid by the obligee to stop the infringement.

If it is difficult to determine the loss of the obligee, the benefits obtained by the infringer and the patent license fee, the people's court may determine the compensation of more than 1 10,000 yuan and less than1100,000 yuan according to the type of patent right, the nature and circumstances of the infringement.
