"Celebrating the Years" Advance Broadcasting Case

iQiyi launched a "pay-per-view" service during the broadcast of Joy of Life, which was deemed a breach of contract. The court held that although the "advanced on-demand" model itself was not inappropriate, it should not damage the existing rights of the members. Therefore, the Beijing Internet Court ruled that iQiyi Company would provide the original VIP membership rights to the plaintiff for 15 consecutive days and compensate the plaintiff for the loss of 1500 yuan in notary fees. This judgment determined that iQiyi's "paid advance on-demand" behavior harmed the rights and interests of Gold VIP members.

The Beijing Internet Court ruled in the first trial of Joy of Life's advanced broadcast case that iQiyi's advanced broadcast method harmed the rights and interests of Gold VIP members. The court ordered iQiyi to provide the original rights and interests of the gold VIP membership to the plaintiff for 15 consecutive days, and compensate the plaintiff Wu for the loss of 1500 yuan in the notary fee. The court rejected the plaintiffs 'other claims. This ruling meant that there was nothing wrong with the advanced VOD model itself, but it should not damage the existing rights of the members. The verdict of this case was of great significance for regulating business model innovation and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of users.

iQiyi introduced an advanced on-demand policy when it broadcasted Joy of Life, which meant that VIP members who had already paid an additional 50 yuan could watch six more episodes on the weekly update day, six episodes ahead of non-members. However, this move caused controversy and consumer dissatisfaction. The consumers felt that this pay-to-view model violated their legal rights and took iQiyi to court. In the first instance, the Beijing Internet Court found that iQiyi's advance on-demand behavior had damaged the rights and interests of the original members, and ruled that iQiyi Company would provide the original rights and interests of the gold VIP members to the plaintiff for 15 consecutive days and compensate the plaintiff, Mr. Wu. This ruling meant that iQiyi needed to cancel the advanced on-demand function and could not damage the existing rights of its members. Therefore, iQiyi lost the case.

The iQiyi platform launched a pay-per-view service when it broadcasted the TV series Joy of Life. This service required an additional fee to watch the series in advance. However, this move caused controversy, and some users felt that this violated their rights as Gold VIP members. The Beijing Internet Court heard the case and ruled that some of iQiyi's service agreements were invalid. The court also requested iQiyi to provide the original membership rights and interests to the plaintiff and compensate the plaintiff for the loss of 1500 yuan. The ruling attracted widespread attention because it wasn't the first time video websites had tried to pay for advance streaming, and similar cases had also caused controversy. In general, the Joy of Life case had been resolved legally, but the model was still controversial and discussed.

Joy of Life had six episodes. Members could unlock six episodes in advance by paying an additional 50 yuan.

Joy of Life2 had an advance screening on May 30th at 19:30 PM. The audience could choose to pay an additional 15 yuan to watch the finale in advance, or wait for the next Sunday for ordinary members to unlock the finale. During the pre-screening period, the audience could purchase pre-screening gift packs to enjoy exclusive highlights and the privilege of watching the finale in advance. As for the specific price of the screening gift pack, it had not been announced yet. In addition, the search results also mentioned that Joy of Life2 had a total of 36 episodes and was expected to have a grand finale next weekend. In general, the audience had different views on the pre-screening of Joy of Life2. Some people thought that the plot was going smoothly and were surprised by the return of the original cast, while others complained that the plot was slow and the content was dragged out.

At present, it is impossible to determine whether Joy of Life2 has been leaked in advance. The officials issued a solemn statement denying that the series had been leaked in advance and said that the links circulating on the Internet were all false information. The production team had already taken measures to call the police to protect the safety and copyright of the series. Leaking the content of the series could affect the broadcast effect, viewership ratings, copyright, and commercial interests of the series. If the audience knew the plot in advance, it might weaken the appeal of the official broadcast, resulting in a decline in the ratings. In addition, the leak could dampen the enthusiasm of the crew and investors, affecting the production plan for the subsequent seasons. Protecting the security and confidentiality of the content of the series was crucial to the healthy development of the pay-to-view model and the entire industry. Therefore, the drama needed to properly deal with this crisis, strengthen the protection of content security, and ensure that the drama could meet the audience in the best state. The final truth could only be known after the series was officially broadcast. In any case, we hope that Joy of Life2 will live up to our expectations and continue the glory of the first season.

However, the search results did not provide a definite answer, and it was still unknown whether there was a real leak.
