In today's era of digital entertainment, online video platforms have become a part of our daily lives. However, conflicts between platforms and users also arise, especially regarding the rights and interests of users. This time, iQIYI's "projection restriction case" fell in the first instance, marking an important victory for users' rights and interests.
Event review: Seven years of "old fans" on the road to rights protection
Things started a year ago, an old user who has been using the iQiyi platform for seven years took iQiyi to court because he was restricted from projecting the screen. Modern Express reported exclusively on the incident at the time, which attracted widespread attention. The screen projection function is one of the important reasons why many users buy VIP members, and restricting this function undoubtedly makes users feel that their rights and interests are damaged.
The court's decision: protect the rights and interests of users
After more than a year of trial, the Beijing Internet Court finally made a first-instance judgment recently. According to the judgment, the plaintiff will enjoy the rights and interests of 720P and 1080P HD projection before July 15, 2025, and the iQiyi platform needs to compensate the plaintiff for 41 days of gold VIP membership time. This judgment is not only a protection of the plaintiff's personal rights and interests, but also a strong support for the rights and interests of all users of digital platforms.
The significance of the verdict: the balance between the platform and the user
The importance of this judgment lies not only in the specific compensation measures, but also in the clear message it sends that the rights and interests of users cannot be ignored. While pursuing commercial interests, digital platforms must respect and protect the basic rights and interests of users. This not only helps to maintain the trust and loyalty of users, but also promotes the healthy development of the entire industry.
The power of users: rights protection is no longer a lonely battle
The victory of iQIYI's "projection case" also allows us to see the power of users. The report of Modern Express has attracted wide attention from the society, and the court's fair judgment has given a shot in the arm to the majority of users. By protecting their rights and interests through legal means, users are no longer alone.
Looking ahead: Platforms need to strengthen self-discipline
This incident sounded the alarm for iQiyi and even the entire online video industry. Platforms should be more cautious when launching new features or adjusting services, taking into account the actual needs and experience of users. At the same time, transparent information disclosure and timely user communication are also important means to avoid similar disputes.
In general, the judgment of iQIYI's "Screen Restriction Case" is a victory for users' rights and interests, showing the important role of the law in protecting the rights and interests of consumers. We expect that in the future, digital platforms will pay more attention to the experience and needs of users while pursuing commercial interests, and jointly create a healthier and more harmonious digital entertainment ecosystem."
