"Love Apartment 5" was pirated after it was aired. Netizens: I'll just get a membership for free

According to media reports today (January 18), the hit drama "Love Apartment 5" has attracted much attention since its launch. After the launch of "Love Apartment 5", related pirated video resources appeared on some websites, and the update speed of these pirated video resources is exactly the same as that of the video platform.

Some public accounts also share a large number of film and television drama download links with readers, and mix in shopping information advertisements on e-commerce platforms to seek profits. Some media reported that criminals have made tens of millions of yuan by spreading pirated video resources. Industry insiders pointed out that criminals use free video resources to obtain traffic and monetize through advertising and other forms. Or they directly sell film and television resources to the outside world, and the price is usually lower than that of the video platform to open VIP, so as to make a profit.

Some netizens said that pirated movies come out so quickly, why bother to open membership? Others said that they are frequent customers of pirated movies and TV series. In the past, they were too lazy to pay for VIP membership, but later, even if they paid, they got used to looking for resources in the public account of movie and TV resources, which was more convenient.

The popular TV series "Joy of Life" encountered a piracy storm before. When the show was broadcast, the video platform launched an advanced on-demand service for "Joy of Life". More importantly, before the video platform finished updating the series, all the pirated resources of "Joy of Life" appeared online. This leak once attracted the attention of the industry.

Industry insiders said that pirated resources infringe upon the copyright of the copyright owner and are an infringement of intellectual property rights. The hard work of the creators behind the videos that are easily taken away is wasted.
