Tencent escalates legal battle against TikTok owner ByteDance over copyright infringement of popular Tencent Holdings has significantly increased its damages claim against Douyin, the Chinese version of ByteDance’s TikTok short video app, for alleged copyright infringement of a popular anime programme airing on the Shenzhen-based internet giants video channel, according to Chinese media. In an updated motion filed to the Chongqing No 1 Intermediate People’s Court earlier this month, Tencent upped its infringement claim to 800 million yuan from the previous 61.6 million yuan, according to a report by Chinese state-owned newspaper which collectively had amassed over 20 billion views on the short video platform, without authorisation from Tencent, which owns exclusive rights to stream the series, according to a public court document. The vow came after more than 70 domestic film and television firms and organisations, and more than 500 film industry workers, issued a joint statement calling for an end to copyright infringements by online short video platform operators. The statement called for “short video platforms to actively participate in copyright content compliance governance, and immediately clean up” unauthorised film and television content.
