How does the liability of platform operators for contributory infringement of copyright, trademark and unfair commercial practices differ in Germany and China? In order to answer this question Fei Yang examines the liability regime created by the German Legislative and the German liability privilege. The study makes a comparative law approach with regard to the Chinese liability difficulties and evaluates them. Contrary to the German copyright and trademark law where the disturbance liability is compulsory, the Chinese Government - in harmony with the development in the European countries - decided to introduce legal regulations which define how to handle liability in the internet. However, these regulations differ from those in Germany.
