One Man Wolf Pack Drone & Ground Recordings from Tehran, Iran Reused as B-Roll in Multiple Productions

These Iran recordings of ours were first detected in Phoenix TV’s upload of February 19, 2022 on its principal (former) YouTube channel (鳳凰衛視PhoenixTV):

👉 “專訪伊朗奧委會主席：支持北京冬奧會並向世界證明“抵制”無用《風雲對話》20220217【下載鳳凰秀App，發現更多精彩】”

🛩️️ Drone Footage Context

Our Tehran drone and ground footage was captured just weeks before Iran imposed its drone ban in early 2017, making our high-resolution aerials of Tochal Mountain and Tehran city skylines truly unique and almost irreplaceable – not many other independent creators accessed these vantage points at that time.

⚖️ Parts of these Iran recordings – alongside works from countless additional countries worldwide – are formally registered with the U.S. Copyright Office (reg. PA 2-361-746), securing statutory damages, attorney fees, and maximum legal protection for our global portfolio as registered.

🅱️ B-Roll Pattern

Across multiple productions, Phoenix TV used our sequences as classic B-roll: non-transformative establishing shots, scene transitions, and visual filler to polish their broadcasts or interviews – delivered with no credit, no license, no transformation. In our opinion, given the commercial, non-transformative, credit-free B-roll use pattern documented here, a ‘fair use’ (U.S.) or ‘fair dealing’ (Hong Kong) defense appears highly unlikely.

Key examples from their principal channel:

⚠️ Yet Another Confirmation – Phoenix TV's Disconnect Between Copyright Policy and Practice

Phoenix TV states on its website: “Company respects the intellectual property of others and asks that users of our Site do the same”:

However, Phoenix TV reproduced and broadcast ↗️our Syria/Damascus footage, ↗️our Tehran/Iran recordings and even many others without authorization.

👉 In the case of Damascus, this occurred despite Phoenix TV maintaining its own on‑site reporting capabilities there (as ↗️self‑reported regarding its visit to Damascus) and ↗️publicly acknowledging the extraordinary access challenges involved in reporting from Syria — factors that underscore the unique value of our original footages that were reproduced.

These uses occurred notwithstanding clear copyright notices and usage restrictions displayed on our YouTube channel, within the individual videos themselves, and explicitly also on the One Man Wolf Pack business website.

👉 These Damascus and Tehran cases illustrate a broader, documented pattern in which high-value individual creator footage was reproduced without licensing, authorization or even crediting, raising very serious questions about the gap between Phoenix TV’s published intellectual-property commitments and its operational practices.

⏭️ Coming Next: Additional Documented Instances

In follow-up posts, we will publish preserved evidence (URLs, timestamps, screenshots, and platform records) relating to:

🟥 Documented use of our U.S. Copyright Office-registered Taiwan footage in politically framed segments,
🟥 Additional unauthorized uses involving locations including Macau, China, Uruguay, Kenya — and others,
🟥 Indicators of concealment or misattribution (including instances consistent with logo/credit removal),
🟥 Statements made by Phoenix TV in DMCA counter-notifications and related correspondence,
🟥 Phoenix TV’s distribution status in Taiwan (as publicly reported since 2022),
🟥 A multi-year timeline of repeated unauthorized uses,
🟥 Mass deletions across Phoenix TV-affiliated YouTube channels following our DMCA enforcement,
🟥 Phoenix TV’s YouTube channel rebranding ( and the relevant YouTube policy implications and
🟥 Phoenix TV’s flagship programs — including “Talk With World Leaders” (风云对话), “GBA Discovery” (發現大灣區) and other political/feature formats — and what their repeated reliance on unlicensed creator footage reveals about the broadcaster’s copyright governance and editorial standards.

⚖️ Exemplary Evidence: Phoenix TV again repeatedly reproducing One Man Wolf Pack's footage

The following screenshots are provided as exemplary evidence documenting the repeated unauthorized reproduction and publication by Phoenix TV of copyrighted audiovisual footage created and solely owned by One Man Wolf Pack / Miroslaw Wawak.

The materials shown depict footage recorded in Tehran, Iran, which was reproduced and disseminated by Phoenix Satellite Television (Phoenix TV), among others on its former verified YouTube channel “鳳凰衛視PhoenixTV” (see ↗️Social Blade). That verified channel was subsequently disabled by YouTube and, at the time of writing, remains unavailable, displaying the platform notice:

“This account has been terminated because we received multiple third-party claims of copyright infringement regarding material the user posted.”

The following screenshots are presented for the limited purpose of demonstrating factual use patterns, including:

🟥 the reproduction of the copyrighted footage without authorization or license,
🟥 the embedding of Phoenix TV’s corporate graphics, branding, or other overlays onto our footage,
🟥 and the absence of any visible credit, attribution, or acknowledgment of the original author and copyright holder.

These materials are representative, not exhaustive, and are shown solely to illustrate the nature and context of the (Verifact) documented reproductions:

⚖️ Our documentation continues.

🐾 As always, we continue to keep all correspondence public for accuracy, fairness, and accountability. More updates will follow.

👉 Summary of the Article

This article documents Phoenix Satellite Television’s repeated, unauthorized reproduction of copyrighted footage created and solely owned by Miroslaw Wawak / One Man Wolf Pack. Using preserved evidence, public records, and Phoenix TV’s own uploads, the article details how Tehran drone aerials and ground footage (filmed just before Iran’s 2017 drone ban) were incorporated as B-roll into multiple shows and formats, including Phoenix TV's flagship program “Talk With World Leaders” (凤凰卫视风云对话) without license, credit, or authorization – first detected Feb 19, 2022 on their principal channel.

Despite Phoenix TV’s scale as an international broadcaster, the Hong Kong media outlet reused independent footage captured under unique constraints and risks. The article shows systematic embedding across, among others, its principal (former) YouTube channel (terminated and unavailable as of Jan 2026), fengshows.com, and ifeng.com — a commercial, high-volume, non-transformative, credit-free deployment pattern that makes fair use / fair dealing claims highly unlikely.

By contrasting Phoenix TV’s IP policies (“respects the intellectual property of others”) with its practices, this case study questions licensing compliance and creator treatment. Additional instances (Singapore, Macau, China etc.) follow in ongoing documentation.

Resumen en Español (traducida por AI)

Este artículo documenta la reproducción repetida y no autorizada por parte de Phoenix Satellite Television de material protegido por derechos de autor creado y propiedad exclusiva de Miroslaw Wawak / One Man Wolf Pack. Utilizando evidencia preservada, registros públicos y las propias publicaciones de Phoenix TV, el artículo detalla cómo tomas aéreas con dron de Teherán y material a nivel de suelo (filmados poco antes de la prohibición de drones en Irán en 2017) fueron incorporados como B-roll en múltiples programas y formatos, incluido el programa insignia de Phoenix TV “Talk With World Leaders” (凤凰卫视风云对话), sin licencia, crédito ni autorización — detectado por primera vez el 19 de febrero de 2022 en su canal principal.

A pesar de la escala de Phoenix TV como radiodifusor internacional, el medio con sede en Hong Kong reutilizó material independiente capturado bajo restricciones y riesgos únicos. El artículo muestra una inserción sistemática, entre otros, en su canal principal (anterior) de YouTube (terminado e inaccesible a enero de 2026), así como en fengshows.com e ifeng.com — un patrón de uso comercial, de alto volumen, no transformativo y sin atribución que hace que las alegaciones de fair use / fair dealing sean altamente improbables.

Al contrastar las políticas de propiedad intelectual de Phoenix TV (“respects the intellectual property of others”) con sus prácticas, este estudio de caso cuestiona el cumplimiento de licencias y el trato a los creadores. Casos adicionales (Singapur, Macao, China, etc.) se documentan de forma continua.

Resumo em Português (traduzido por IA)

Este artigo documenta a reprodução repetida e não autorizada, por parte da Phoenix Satellite Television, de material protegido por direitos autorais criado e de propriedade exclusiva de Miroslaw Wawak / One Man Wolf Pack. Com base em evidências preservadas, registros públicos e uploads da própria Phoenix TV, o artigo detalha como imagens aéreas de drone de Teerã e gravações em nível de solo (filmadas pouco antes da proibição de drones no Irã em 2017) foram incorporadas como B-roll em múltiplos programas e formatos, incluindo o programa principal da Phoenix TV “Talk With World Leaders” (凤凰卫视风云对话), sem licença, crédito ou autorização — detectadas pela primeira vez em 19 de fevereiro de 2022 em seu canal principal.

Apesar da escala da Phoenix TV como emissora internacional, o grupo de mídia sediado em Hong Kong reutilizou material independente captado sob restrições e riscos únicos. O artigo demonstra uma incorporação sistemática, entre outros, em seu canal principal (antigo) no YouTube (encerrado e indisponível em janeiro de 2026), bem como nos sites fengshows.com e ifeng.com — um padrão de uso comercial, em alto volume, não transformativo e sem atribuição, que torna alegações de fair use / fair dealing altamente improváveis.

Ao contrastar as políticas de propriedade intelectual da Phoenix TV (“respects the intellectual property of others”) com suas práticas, este estudo de caso questiona a conformidade com licenciamento e o tratamento dado a criadores. Casos adicionais (Singapura, Macau, China etc.) seguem sendo documentados.

Zusammenfassung auf Deutsch (KI-übersetzt)

Dieser Artikel dokumentiert die wiederholte, nicht autorisierte Nutzung urheberrechtlich geschützten Materials durch Phoenix Satellite Television, das von Miroslaw Wawak / One Man Wolf Pack erstellt wurde und sich in dessen alleinigem Eigentum befindet. Unter Verwendung gesicherter Beweise, öffentlicher Aufzeichnungen sowie eigener Uploads von Phoenix TV wird detailliert dargestellt, wie Drohnen-Luftaufnahmen aus Teheran und Bodenaufnahmen (aufgenommen kurz vor dem iranischen Drohnenverbot im Jahr 2017) als B-Roll in mehrere Sendungen und Formate eingebunden wurden, darunter auch das Flaggschiffprogramm von Phoenix TV „Talk With World Leaders“ (凤凰卫视风云对话) — ohne Lizenz, Nennung oder Genehmigung; erstmals festgestellt am 19. Februar 2022 auf dem Hauptkanal.

Trotz der Größe von Phoenix TV als internationalem Sender nutzte das in Hongkong ansässige Medienunternehmen unabhängiges Filmmaterial, das unter besonderen Einschränkungen und Risiken entstanden ist, erneut. Der Artikel belegt eine systematische Einbindung unter anderem über den ehemaligen Haupt-YouTube-Kanal (beendet und seit Januar 2026 nicht mehr verfügbar) sowie über fengshows.com und ifeng.com — ein kommerzielles, hochvolumiges, nicht-transformatives und nicht gekennzeichnetes Nutzungsmuster, das Fair-Use- bzw. Fair-Dealing-Behauptungen als höchst unwahrscheinlich erscheinen lässt.

Durch den Vergleich der öffentlich erklärten IP-Richtlinien von Phoenix TV („respects the intellectual property of others“) mit der tatsächlichen Praxis stellt diese Fallstudie die Lizenzkonformität und den Umgang mit Kreativen in Frage. Weitere Fälle (Singapur, Macau, China usw.) werden fortlaufend dokumentiert.

Résumé en français (traduction par IA)

Cet article documente la reproduction répétée et non autorisée par Phoenix Satellite Television de contenus protégés par le droit d’auteur, créés et détenus exclusivement par Miroslaw Wawak / One Man Wolf Pack. En s’appuyant sur des preuves préservées, des archives publiques et les propres publications de Phoenix TV, l’article détaille comment des images aériennes de drone de Téhéran et des séquences au sol (filmées peu avant l’interdiction des drones en Iran en 2017) ont été intégrées comme B-roll dans de multiples émissions et formats, y compris le programme phare de Phoenix TV « Talk With World Leaders » (凤凰卫视风云对话), sans licence, sans crédit et sans autorisation — détectées pour la première fois le 19 février 2022 sur leur chaîne principale.

Malgré l’envergure de Phoenix TV en tant que diffuseur international, le groupe médiatique basé à Hong Kong a réutilisé des images indépendantes captées sous des contraintes et des risques particuliers. L’article met en évidence une intégration systématique, notamment via l’ancienne chaîne YouTube principale (résiliée et indisponible depuis janvier 2026), ainsi que sur fengshows.com et ifeng.com — un schéma d’utilisation commercial, à fort volume, non transformateur et sans attribution, rendant les arguments de fair use / fair dealing hautement improbables.

En confrontant les politiques de propriété intellectuelle de Phoenix TV (« respects the intellectual property of others ») à ses pratiques effectives, cette étude de cas interroge le respect des licences et le traitement des créateurs. D’autres cas (Singapour, Macao, Chine, etc.) font l’objet d’une documentation continue.

文章摘要 (繁體中文) (人工智慧翻譯)

本文記錄了鳳凰衛視（Phoenix Satellite Television）多次、未經授權重製由 Miroslaw Wawak／One Man Wolf Pack 創作並獨家擁有之受版權保護影像內容。透過保存證據、公開紀錄及鳳凰衛視自身上傳內容，本文詳細說明德黑蘭無人機航拍畫面與地面影像（拍攝於伊朗 2017 年無人機禁令實施前不久）如何被作為 B-roll 納入多個節目與格式中，包括鳳凰衛視旗艦節目《Talk With World Leaders》（風雲對話），且未取得授權、未標示來源、亦未提供署名——最早於 2022 年 2 月 19 日在其主頻道被發現。

儘管鳳凰衛視作為國際級廣播機構具備相當規模，其位於香港的媒體平台仍重複使用在特殊限制與風險條件下拍攝的獨立影像素材。本文顯示，該素材被系統性地嵌入於多個平台之中，包括其原主 YouTube 頻道（截至 2026 年 1 月已被終止並無法存取）、fengshows.com 與 ifeng.com——此種商業化、高頻率、非轉化且未署名的使用模式，使「合理使用／公平交易」之主張極不可能成立。

透過對比鳳凰衛視公開宣稱的智慧財產政策（「respects the intellectual property of others」）與其實際操作，本文案例研究對其授權合規性與創作者對待方式提出質疑。更多案例（新加坡、澳門、中國等）仍在持續整理與發佈中。

日本語での要約 (AI翻訳)

本記事は、Miroslaw Wawak／One Man Wolf Pack が制作し、単独で所有する著作権保護映像が、Phoenix Satellite Television により繰り返し無許可で使用された事例を記録するものである。保存された証拠、公的記録、ならびに Phoenix TV 自身のアップロード内容を基に、イランにおける2017年のドローン禁止令直前に撮影されたテヘランのドローン空撮映像および地上映像が、Phoenix TV の旗艦番組「Talk With World Leaders」（凤凰卫视风云对话）を含む複数の番組・形式において、Bロールとしてライセンス・クレジット・許可なく使用された経緯を詳述する。これらの使用は、2022年2月19日に同社の主チャンネル上で初めて確認された。

国際放送事業者としての規模を有するにもかかわらず、香港を拠点とする Phoenix TV は、特別な制約やリスクの下で撮影された独立制作者の映像を再利用していた。本記事は、2026年1月時点で停止・非公開となっている旧主 YouTube チャンネルを含め、fengshows.com および ifeng.com などにおける体系的な埋め込み使用を示している。こうした商業的、高頻度、非変形かつ無表記の使用形態は、フェアユース／フェアディーリングの主張が成立する可能性を極めて低くする。

Phoenix TV が掲げる知的財産方針（「respects the intellectual property of others」）と実際の運用を対比することで、本ケーススタディは、ライセンス遵守およびクリエイターの扱いについて疑問を提起する。シンガポール、マカオ、中国などに関する追加事例も、現在継続的に記録・公開されている。

About the Author

Miroslaw Wawak is a world-traveling filmmaker, drone pilot, and founder of One Man Wolf Pack — also internationally known from the Netflix production “Crime Scene Berlin: Nightlife Killer” (↗️IMDb), where his story was featured as a survivor and main protagonist. Having explored and documented 222 countries, his original and unique aerial footage has been featured in international media, Hollywood trailers, and major global events.

Beyond his creative work, Miroslaw is a passionate advocate for creator rights, transparency, and social impact — regularly supporting community projects and defending his original work against unauthorized use worldwide. He’s taken legal action against everyone from international broadcasters (e.g. ESPN, TyC Sports) and tech giants (e.g. Facebook, YouTube) to national icons (e.g. Deutsche Welle, Globo, BAND/Radio Bandeirantes) — even religious institutions — when they violated his copyright.

Through exposing countless violations of his copyright and collaborating with top intellectual property attorneys around the globe — including landmark legal battles from Europe to the Americas and as far as Bermuda — Miroslaw Wawak has acquired an unmatched expertise in defending his rights and bringing every discovered infringement to justice.

🟥 His most recent victories in ↗️precedent-setting cases against the BAND network and ↗️Carolina Britto in Brazil as well as ↗️Rafael Delgado Garcia (Spain/Andorra) proved not only the financial strength but also the strategic determination and consistent enforcement behind his enforcement efforts.
