This is an infringement. The copyright of TV series belongs to the producer and is sold in the market. However, if the edited TV series published in Tik Tok is used for commercial propaganda and advertising, it is an infringement according to the provisions of the Copyright Law, even if it is not used for commercial purposes. Previously, a well-known film critic was sued to the court by the TV drama copyright owner for the content infringement he produced.

Acts of copyright infringement must meet the following three conditions:

1, the infringement fact is that the actor used the works of the copyright owner, performances, audio-visual products and radio and television programs without the permission of the copyright owner and in accordance with the conditions of use stipulated in the copyright law;

2. The behavior is illegal. Copyright is an absolute right, and everyone has the obligation of inaction that cannot infringe this right. Others must abide by the relevant provisions of the copyright law and other laws when using copyrighted works. If the actor violates the provisions of the law, his behavior is illegal;

3. The actor is subjectively at fault. The so-called fault refers to the mental state of the infringer's infringement and its consequences, including intentional and negligent forms.

Therefore, to sum up, it is considered an infringement to spread the edited video on the Internet.
