"IQIYI Screen Casting Restriction Case" Appeal

   • Requires single-time memberships and continuous monthly subscriptions to be treated the same.

   • believes that there is no obligation to provide screencasting services with a resolution higher than 480P to gold members permanently and free of charge.
   • It is believed that the original judgment contained errors in fact finding and legal application.

Background of the case

3. The plaintiff took iQiyi to court for limiting the screen resolution of gold VIP members to 480P.

4. First-instance judgment:

   • The plaintiff enjoys the rights to 720P and 1080P high-definition screen projection before July 15, 2025.
   • The iQiyi platform compensated the plaintiff for 41 days of gold membership VIP time.

Plaintiff’s reason for appeal

5. Strive for equal treatment for single-time memberships and continuous monthly memberships.
6. It is believed that the underlying logic of membership tiered charging is not unified, resulting in unclear rights and interests boundaries.

IQIYI’s reason for appeal

7. The VIP membership service agreement does not stipulate an obligation to provide gold members with a screencasting service higher than 480P definition permanently and free of charge.
8. We believe that the original judgment to compensate for 41 days of gold membership has no factual and legal basis and violates the principle of civil relief.
9. It is believed that limiting the resolution of the screen projection does not constitute a breach of contract, and the original judgment contained errors in the determination of facts and application of law.
