On May 22, People’s Daily published a quick comment on the “plagiarism of Audi advertising copy”.

People’s Daily commented: “Creativity belongs to creativity, and law belongs to law. Today’s consensus on intellectual property protection is no longer a “sleeping consciousness”. The key is how to do it. Big brands and big companies should especially take the lead, and any individual, company, or platform should have a strong sense of copyright, rules, and laws. In this way, the “bringing doctrine” of plagiarism and handling can be restrained, and the standardized use and legal rights protection can be effective. The protection of intellectual property rights is the greatest incentive, and we must not cause “car accidents” and hurt others and ourselves.
