Answer 1

If you wrote lyrics for a film and television work in a non-commercial situation and uploaded the original song name to the social platform, there was no copyright violation.

According to China's " copyright law," creators enjoyed the right of authorization, the right of modification, and the right to protect the integrity of their works. The right of authorization meant that the creator had the right to sign his name on the work to indicate his identity as the creator. In non-commercial cases, creators could modify the work without changing the original intent of the work, but this did not violate the copyright of the original work.

The right to protect the integrity of a work meant that the creator had the right to protect the integrity of the work, including the complete presentation of the text, music, video, etc. of the work.

If the original song was uploaded to social media platforms with the original song's name indicated, it would not violate the copyright of the original song. However, if you deliberately change the music style, sound quality, and other elements of the original song during the upload process, or use the audio clips of the original song as the music of your own creation, it may constitute copyright.

Therefore, it is recommended to respect the copyright when uploading any work to avoid copyright infringement.
