What is a TV stick?
The TV stick is a box with a video website, which is shaped like a USB flash drive. This website concentrates all the TV programs. When users use it, they only need to connect it to the computer, and it can run automatically, so users only need to choose their favorite TV programs to watch according to their own needs. Just like mediaplayer, it can accept losing more than 6,000 TV programs and listening to 20,000 radios. Its signal also comes from the server and is transmitted to the receiving end of the computer through the network. The server of low-end TV stick is a domestic server, which is easy to be checked because of domestic laws and regulations. The design also prevents users from being infected by viruses when using the TV stick, so the built-in program uses the storage medium to read and write.
Is the TV stick easy to use
General TV sticks can be divided into PCI and USB. The former requires an extra antenna, and how many TV programs the product can watch depends on the antenna length. The latter is USB, which stores the programs of network TV, and the price is about 100 yuan. TV sticks on the market can be divided into high-end and low-end ones. The low-end TV stick is a domestic server, the price is 50- 100 yuan, but it is easy to be banned. Second, the high-end TV stick, the price is between 200-700 yuan, but the safety performance is high. However, after use, 64% people responded that the product was effective and 36% people responded that it was ineffective. When purchasing, users can visit several stores to learn about the products.
Suspected of breaking the law
According to a person in the TV broadcasting industry, the "high-definition TV" on the market is networked, and the Internet video that users see through it is not strictly a real-time TV program. The insider explained that this TV stick is actually equivalent to a key, and the manufacturer of the Internet TV stick should cooperate with the video website, because at present, many international TV stations provide real-time programs on the Internet, and this website concentrates the video streams of various TV stations. After purchasing TV sticks, users get a user name and password, so they can watch these TV programs.
Cui, an associate professor at Tsinghua University Law School, believes that regarding the network TV programs received by TV sticks, we should first consider whether they are put online with the permission of the copyright owner, and whether the website allows third-party software such as P2P software to capture and transmit the content. If these two links are not licensed, they are suspected of infringement. In addition, if P2P software copies other people's software without permission, it may infringe other people's patents. In this regard, some people in the legal profession pointed out: "If the TV stick can be connected to watch overseas TV programs and some adult programs, it will violate the relevant regulations of the state radio and television department and be suspected of spreading obscene audio-visual products, which is illegal."
It is understood that China's "Regulations on the Administration of Internet Audio-visual Program Services" clearly points out that Internet audio-visual program service units should choose network operation units that have obtained Internet access service telecommunications business licenses or broadcast TV program business licenses according to law to provide services; Units without licenses shall not provide services for individuals to upload and disseminate audio-visual programs. No unit or individual may broadcast, link, aggregate or integrate the programs of illegal radio and television channels and audio-visual program websites.
