后危机时代,视频网站行业的知识产权竞争及争议日益激烈,而与之相关的国际通用的“避风港”原则是否完全适用于国内新兴网络产业的疑问,涉及网络服务提供者、著作权人及最终消费者的利益平衡问题.土豆网胜诉案,凸显了我国侵权责任法合理注意义务的重要地位.然而,与美国Digital Millenium Copyright Act(DMCA)数字千年著作权法案中“通知与删除”程序对避风港原则合理注意义务规定相比,我国避风港原则对该义务的立法认定尚属模糊.时此,应当细化对网络服务合理行为的法律认定标准,包括对著作权人滥用通知共同侵权责任的认定、国家自主研发的网络过滤软件之推广、合理注意义务作为网络服务提供者过错标准的认定,以及网络著作权统一管理体系的创建等关键问题.
