私权平等与身份限制——再审视“公众人物”的人格权

人格权是私人享有的权利,而私人权利又可分为公权利和私权利两个方面。"公众人物"的人格权主要涉及私法与其私权利的一面。"公众人物"的人格权与一般人的人格权并无不同,现有的限制理论均有缺憾。故我们仅需界定人格权本身而无需对其主体进行分类。不必建立"公众人物"法律概念,在人格平等的私法理念下各类主体不应被区别对待。

Private Rights Equality vs. Identity Disparity: Personality Rights of Public Figures

Personality rights,enjoyed by an individual,are generally consists of tow sorts of rights:right of publicity and right of privacy.For public figures,personality rights problems chiefly arise out of or pertain to private law and right of privacy.Indeed,no discrepancy exists between the personality rights of public figure and those of ordinary people,for which the constraints theory seems of defects.As such,what we should do is to define personality rights per se rather that itemize those who enjoy them and there is no need to develop a legal concept of "public figure." Under the notion of equality of personality in private law,no one shall be treated distinctively.
