What happened to visual China? The national flag and national emblem became copyright pictures

On the evening of April 10, the first black hole photo in human history was released, which attracted global attention. A netizen found that on April 11, the first black hole photo in human history published last night appeared on the Vision China website. Please call or consult the customer representative if the drawing is for commercial use. Users remind: black hole photo copyright belongs to visual China! Use indiscriminately and be careful of infringement! What's going on? Why does Vision China say that?

Visual China:

Unauthorized use of self media is at risk

Just now, @ Vision China image replied:

The 'black hole' photo belongs to the event horizon telepope organization, and Vision China obtains the authorization of editing class through its partners. This image license is not exclusive. Other media and image agencies are also authorized. However, the picture can only be used for news editing and dissemination according to the requirements of the copyright owner, and can not be used as a commercial type without permission. Commercial use generally includes advertising, promotion and other use scenarios. Visual China does not have the right to commercial use of the picture. If it is used for commercial purposes without the authorization of the copyright owner, there may be risks.

Some media dug out the visual image of China and claimed the copyright of the national flag, national emblem and other pictures. Visual China responded that many of the photos were uploaded by the contributors and the copyright notice had been revoked. Unauthorized use of pictures is very serious. Few self media come to us to get reasonable authorization. The photo content industry has been changing rapidly in recent years. People who used pictures before were relatively large traditional media. After the appearance of WeChat public numbers, a large number of content entrepreneurs appeared. Understand the difficulties of the self media, but in any case, unauthorized use of pictures is very serious.
