Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Xiao Zhan cut, Mengyu Qianyu, Shigure clue delivery! CTOnews.com news on January 16, iqiyi said in response to the issue of "restricting the HDMI connection playback function" at noon today that restricting the HDMI connection playback function is a restriction measure taken to prevent screencap piracy at the request of the copyright party based on the digital rights protection agreement.

Iqiyi said that this function has been online for many years, which is also a common practice in the industry. Other content that is not restricted by the digital copyright protection agreement can still be played via HDMI connection. This restriction has nothing to do with whether or not to subscribe to members.

CTOnews.com learned that many netizens reported last week that iqiyi App has begun to restrict the screen casting function. Gold VIP members previously supported a maximum 4K definition screen, now they can only choose the lowest 480p definition, and platinum VIP members must be purchased if they want to do 4K screen casting.

Iqiyi's official website shows that gold VIP members are continuously covered with 118 yuan per year, computers, mobile phones and tablets are available, platinum VIP members are covered with 198 yuan per year, and televisions can also be used while owning the rights and interests of gold VIP members.

Shanghai Consumer Protection Commission previously said that the screen is a normal use scene for mobile users, and consumers pay for it, and it is their right to watch it on the phone or watch it on the screen. The platform's practice of restricting consumers from throwing screens in App is unreasonable, and it is even more unkind to charge extra fees in this way. The video platform has no right to improperly obtain mobile phone rights to interfere with consumers using third-party App or connecting to the screen.
