What Hacker News says

Sure, Bilibili's copyright must be respected, no question on that whatsoever. That being said, let's have a look on how this multi-billion company treats its programmers - flv.js is opened sourced by bilibili, it has 14,668 starts on github [1]. Bilibili paid the smart & hardworking programmer who single handedly started this project and made it popular $700 USD per month [2], there is a very long zhihu.com thread [2] on this matter with 4 million views and almost 400 detailed responses. $700 is about 10% of the fair market rate in China for skills like that. Sorry, but I am not going to take the moral high ground and defend bilibili's rights any time soon. It is a company violating the rights of its programmers on hourly basis. Shame on you BiliBili.
