Lawyer's opinion:
If the reputation of a star is damaged, it can be considered as an infringement of the right of name
So, whether the amateur members of such a group
who mainly focus on imitation are Has it infringed on the rights of the
artist?
Lawyer Lan Tianbin, a partner at Jiangsu Fade Dongheng Law Firm, said that Wang Yibo , Lu Han and others have certain social popularity and influence, and follow celebrities and imitate them.
This imitation behavior can hardly be said to be a coincidence subjectively. Objectively, these people are also using the artist's popularity and influence to achieve their own financial interests, and may even affect the lives of Wang Yibo, Lu Han and others. It should be said that the name rights of Wang Yibo, Lu Han and others have been damaged. Wang Yibo, Lu Han and others can ask these people to stop the infringement and eliminate the influence.
