版权证券化中的版权及相关权利转让问题研究

版权证券化是版权生产募集资金的新形式.版权证券化区别于传统融资方式之处在于其以独立的版权资产信用而非企业信用作为发行证券的基础,为了使版权资产与发起人自身的风险隔离,发起人需将版权及其相关权利转让给特定目的机构.因此研究版权证券化中的版权及相关权利转让法律问题对版权证券化的成败至关重要,我国著作权法等法律并非为版权证券化而设,相关制度还需完善.     

信息网络传播权的权利限制

信息网络传播权是著作权在网络中最重要的权能之一,是著作权人的权利在网络环境中的延伸和扩张.它是法律赋予著作权人控制自己的作品在网络上传播的专有权利,与网络文化的自由开放精神相冲突,对其进行限制成为必要,同时有必要从合理使用与法定许可两方面予以完善.     

著作人格权制度的比较研究

起源于大陆法系的著作人格权制度被认为是两大法系著作权法的主要区别之一.但作为诞生于司法并在司法中发展的权利制度,两大法系对著作人格权保护的差异在其保护依据的不同,即系依著作权法还是非依著作权法进行保护.作为具有人格因素的权利,著作人格权因其不可转让等特征而被认为阻碍了商业自由.但在著作人格权保护的利益平衡原则下,两大法系依不同的法律工具达致了大体一致的法律效果.     

从应然权利到实然权利:文化权利的著作权法保障机制研究

文化参与、文化分享与文化创新成果利益保护,是国际公约和我国宪法保护的应然文化权利.在文化权利从应然权利到实然权利的保障机制中,著作权法通过调整文化创新成果的创作、传播与利用关系,不仅使文化成果收益权经由著作权保护而得到切实保障,而且通过著作权保护条件、范围等制度设计,为公众文化参与、文化分享权利提供资源保障与行为指引,从而使宪法上应然的文化权利得到具体的部门法保障.著作权法对文化权利的保障机制主要体现在以下方面:其激励作品创作与传播的功能、机制,为个人文化参与和文化分享权利的实现提供内容保障;其作品市场化传播的利益实现机制,为公众文化知识的接触、分享和利用提供现实可能;其合理使用等著作权限制制度,为公众可以自由利用的文化空间提供保障;著作权法对作者和其他著作权人就其作品著作权充分而有效的保护,是公众文化收益权的直接保障机制,是著作权法促进文化权利实现的关键.     

The Digital Copyright Exchange: Threats and Opportunities

This paper investigates the threats and opportunities posed by the possibility of a Digital Copyright Exchange (DCE). On the one hand, an exchange could be implemented as a way of replacing traditional distributors such as publishers. On the other hand, it could strengthen certain publishers by making licensing of content the normal method of distribution. An exchange may, therefore, be accurately described as a facilitator of change. The Hooper Feasibility Studies of 2012 have posed a number of possible formulations of the Exchange, but it is suggested that those studies have not realised the broader implications of their proposals upon the central tenets of the copyright balancing exercise. This paper outlines possible consequences and suggests that a broader consideration of the implications should be adopted in future.

著作人身权侵害赔偿的司法认定——评黄某诉城市经济导报报社等侵犯著作权案

著作权法保护作品的表达而不保护创意,依法可以确定报社摘编转载他人已经公开发表的文章属于法定许可使用。但是由于西安城市经济导报报社在转载有关文章时,不当增加指向明显的语和插图配文,虽然没有改变作品内容,但是破坏了作品的形式,从而直接影响到作品的表达,进而影响到作品的学术价值及其社会评价,侵犯了作者的保护作品完整权,依法应承担侵害赔偿责任。     

数字出版产业版权困境解析

海量作品的海量授权问题已成为制约数字出版发展的瓶颈,积聚成巨大的产业法律风险更是悬在数字商头顶的达摩克利斯之剑。面对数字网络技术的挑战,只有通过立法途径才能解决版权卧境。建议拓宽准法定许可的适用范围,建立数字公告出版模式,以破解数字出版产业的版权困境。     

如何标注唱片的著作权及邻接权

音乐录音制品所对应的著作权及邻接权利主体是比较复杂的,这些主体为一张唱片的最终完成均付出了极具价值的创造性劳动,也应当在最终的成品上将其体现出来.根据唱片上的相关标记来认定权利人已经成为一种法律规则.并在司法审判工作中得到了普遍的应用.随着音乐产业的日益发展.音乐作品及制品的权利流转将更加充分和多元,用一种相对简便的方式认定权利主体无疑会促进这些权利的市场化.但是遍览国内唱片出版物,对权利人主体不标注、乱标注的现象比比皆是,这无疑会损伤这些权利标记的公信力,因此有必要将唱片上的著作权及邻接权标注问题予以阐明,以供业者参照执行.     

权利能力的若干基本理论问题

权利能力,即我国法上的民事权利能力,是民事主体最为重要的资格。我们关于权利能力的认知,源于民法教科书,基本上也满足于民法教科书。然而,当我们深入探究一些问题时,将发现满足于民法教科书的层面是远不够的,有必要作进一步的讨论。本文攫取其中若干基础理论层面的问题加以讨     

Copyright as Talisman: Expanding 'Property' in Digital Works

Digital technology facilitates the distribution and use of computer programs, graphical works, sound recordings, audio-visual works, and database products. This creates new commercial market opportunities, but ones compromised by the great ease and low cost of making and even disseminating unauthorized exact copies. Copyright generally makes such conduct unlawful, yet monitoring and enforcement costs severely limit the utility of direct enforcement. Content producers therefore seek adjunctive protection through laws regulating circumvention of producers' technological safeguards and enforcing contract restrictions on copy use and transfer. They also promote enactment of strong criminal penalties for copyright infringement and violation of new digital work protection laws. This increasingly has made copyright less the object of protection than a talisman in promoting and framing new protections that accord digital works substantially greater 'property-like' stature and legal protection than that created by copyright.     

著作权内在利益平衡机制与反垄断法的介入——美国录音制品数字表演权制度的启示

反垄断与保护知识产权均仅是实现其共同目标的手段,其本身并非最终制度目的。就著作权法律制度而言,这体现在其应当建立完善的内在利益平衡机制,从"护权——限权"两个角度对著作权既加以保护、又防止其滥用。在这方面,美国的DPRSR制度堪称典范,我国与之对应的信息网络传播权制度却有待完善。著作权内在利益平衡机制一旦失灵,根据其失灵的情形,可能产生不同的损害。其中对于可能产生竞争损害的,在必要条件下,反垄执法机构应当及时介入,保护市场竞争和消费者利益不受著作权滥用行为的损害,保障反垄断和保护知识产权共同目标的实现。     

Incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights into UK Law: Implications for education

This article focuses on the UK government's proposal to incorporate the European Convention on Human Rights into UK law, and the consequences of incorporation for the individual in the context of education. The first part of the article explores the mechanisms proposed for bringing about incorporation, and stresses in particular the importance attached by the government to upholding the fundamental principle of the sovereignty of the UK Parliament. In this context it emphasises the government's decision to deny to the British courts the capacity to strike down legislative provisions as being incompatible with Convention rights. The second part of the article goes on to explore (highly selectively) a number of key areas in which incorporation of the ECHR has the potential to enhance individual rights in the field of education, including parental choice of school, collective worship and religious education, and aspects of the secular curriculum. The discussion emphasises strongly the likely significance of the UK government's reservation to the second sentence of Article 2 of the First Protocol to the ECHR. Broadly, the conclusion drawn is that the incorporation of the Convention will have only a very marginal impact on the reality of individual rights to education.     

合理使用的法律属性——使用者的权利、著作权的

合理使用的法律属性问题有着重大的实践意涵,我国法学界对此一直存在理解偏差。运用大陆法系主观权利和客观权利两分法以及霍菲尔德的权利理论,论证了合理使用是使用者的特权,是一种客观权利。法律规范的属性和正当化根据的不同都不会影响合理使用的特权或客观权利属性。如果著作权人利用合同或者技术措施妨碍使用者实现合理使用,使用者也无法获得法律的强制救济。     

Toward Cultural Democracy: Digital First Sale Doctrine and Copyright

Economic efficiency has been the dominant justification for copyright protection in the United States. Challenging that narrow perspective, this study argues that cultural democracy provides a broader, more encompassing framework for reforming copyright laws in support of users’ access to and use of creative works. The study demonstrates how the normative values promoted by cultural democracy are synonymous with the socially beneficial effects of the first sale doctrine. Additionally, the study contextualizes and further elaborates the notion of cultural democracy by providing more concrete examples of how cultural democracy plays out in practice. In doing so, this study focuses on individuals’ use of ebooks and the role of public libraries in the digital age.
