description Under the guidance of "technical value theory" taking both the natural and social attributes of technique into consideration, the fault in indirect infringements of copyrights by video sharing websites includes two forms: "intention" and "negligence". As an objective criterion of negligence identification, the duty of care, is the natural extension of the security obligation in cyberspace; for a video sharing website, the foreseeable obligation of infringements is the main content of the duty of care; and it is highlighted that the degree of the duty of care hinges on different factors.

However, according to the causative potency between the fault of a video sharing website and the infringement results, the several/shared liability can avoid the overburden to a video sharing website and distribute the risks of inadequate compensation based on the principle of fairness.
