In the early morning of August 31, an app named Zao suddenly became popular all over the social network. In the app ranking of IOS store, APP downloads also surpassed iqiyi and Tencent video. At present, it has climbed to the first place in entertainment before the deadline.
In fact, the first version of the software, version 0.2, was launched three months ago. At present, the latest version is version 1.1 after the third update. The playing method of the software is not complicated. Users can upload photos. The software encourages self photographing, uses AI face change function, changes actors in short videos into their own faces, and then shares them with the circle of friends. " You can have the same frame with your idol 'and simply have a star dream, which makes this software popular quickly.
But simply relying on user upload and easy release and sharing, there are many risks that deserve attention. The first is to reduce the cost of counterfeiting. If someone makes a video with your self taken photos with ulterior motives, the consequences and impact will be quite serious. In January 2019, someone used this technology to forge a video of Obama's speech. From the video, it can be seen that it is almost false.
At present, many users have found that the user agreement in the app hides many terms unfavorable to users. Paragraph 1 of Article 6 of the user agreement stipulates: 'before you upload and / or publish user content, you agree or ensure that the actual obligee agrees to grant Zao and its affiliates and Zao users completely free, irrevocable, permanent The rights that can be sublicensed and sublicensed include but are not limited to the right to modify and edit the user's content in whole or in part... 'and the information network dissemination of the user's content before and after modification, as well as all copyright property rights and adjacent rights enjoyed by the copyright owner.
Paragraph 2 of Article 6 clearly stipulates: 'if you replace the face in the user content with the face of you or others, you agree or ensure that the portrait obligee agrees to grant & lsquo; zao’ And its affiliates are free, irrevocable, perpetual, sublicensable and sublicensable worldwide. "
In short, as long as you upload the photos, it means that you have completely transferred your portrait right to Zao software and its associated companies, and you will be jointly and severally liable for infringement. If you want to try Zao, you might as well read its user agreement carefully before entering photos.
