16.How will traditional print media forge a working relationship with news websites in the digital age?This is a question that both sides need to consider from a long-term viewpoint.
The conviction(定罪) of a software developer for going against the property rights of the Beijing News by using what the newspaper had published on its iPad service reveals only a tip of the iceberg when it comes to the illegal use of print media's content by news websites.In this case,the software developer used content published by 60 papers without their knowledge.
The Beijing News won the case and the intellectual property rights violator was ordered to pay 100,000 yuan in compensation.If anything,this can be considered a minor victory for the Beijing News,compared to its three similar suits over the past decade.
Yet,the Beijing News is alone in the fight.Other media outlets choose to turn a blind eye to the piracy because they wouldn't bother to take the lot of time and energy for the lawsuit with a likely compensation that might not be enough to cover the costs for winning the case.
Considering this situation,print media and news websites must work out a way to cooperate in a manner that will benefit both.
In the long run,it will be impossible and impractical for news websites to live on print media.With the progress protecting intellectual property rights in recent years,there will be no way for them to use the content free of charge all the time.They must find a way to cooperate with traditional print media in such a way that they can legally use their resources.
For the part of print media outlets,they must rise up to protect their rights for their own existence.There should be an environment to make it very costly for whoever threatens intellectual property rights.Then most print media organizations could afford to bring violators to court.On the other hand,costly,time-consuming and troublesome as such suits are,more print media must rise up so that more pressure will put on both the violators and the courts.Then they will be able to improve the environment for themselves and break the illegal cycle.
