In recent years, private cinemas (also known as on-demand cinemas, movie cafes, and micro cinemas) have sprung up throughout the country, serving as a box office supplement to traditional cinemas and meeting the personalized viewing needs of different groups of people. In 2018, the former State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film, and Television promulgated and implemented the "Regulations on the Management of On-Demand Cinemas and On-Demand Cinema Lines", starting to standardize the management of On-Demand Cinemas and On-Demand Cinema Lines. However, due to the fact that a large number of private cinemas were established before the promulgation and implementation of the aforementioned regulations, there are very few private cinemas in the market that have registered and obtained a "Film Screening Business License" in accordance with the aforementioned regulations, and the aforementioned regulations have not been fully implemented. Due to the nonstandard development of the industry, there are increasing cases of infringement of the right to network dissemination of work information by private cinemas, and private cinemas often lose lawsuits in such cases. This article aims to analyze the reasons for the failure of private cinemas by sorting out such cases, and explore whether the legitimate source defense can be applied to such cases, as well as how to apply it if applicable.
