Case | Can others' portraits be used in news reports?

2022-09-28

In the case, Mr. Wang committed a number of robberies, which attracted the attention of all parties, and was finally sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment. In response to the public's concern about the case, the local law popularization office and TV station filmed and reported the sentencing process, and produced relevant law popularization videos. When Wang, who was in prison, learned of this, he thought that his portrait right had been violated by the news reports of the TV station and the videos of popularizing the law, so he entrusted a lawyer to file a lawsuit to the court. Can I use Wang's portrait in news reports? It can be explained by case. Article 999 of the Civil Code stipulates that the name, title, portrait, personal information, etc. of the civil subject may be reasonably used if news reporting, public opinion supervision and other acts are carried out for the public interest. Article 1020 of the Civil Code stipulates that in order to implement news reporting, it is inevitable to make, use and publicize the portrait of the portrait holder, without the consent of the portrait holder.
