试论著作权间接侵权规则的法定化——兼论著作权间接侵权规则的经济分析

我国著作权法及相关的司法解释虽提供了著作权间接侵权的规制依据,但是,既有的制度规定不仅没有全面地反映间接侵权的所有类型,而且在适用上也存在诸多缺憾.故此,新一轮的著作权法修订应将著作权间接侵权法定化.通过引介国外著作权间接侵权的立法实践及相关的司法判例,以法律经济学为视角对我国著作权间接侵权的类型及其具体的构成要件进行相应的制度设计.     

高校学报著作权保护之思辨

高校学报是汇编作品,高校学报著作权具有不同于一般出版物的诸多特点。长期以来,无论是在理论上还是在实践中,由于对高校学报著作权的独特性没有足够的、清晰的认识,因此造成了无视高校学报著作权、随意侵犯高校学报著作权的情况频频发生。文章在对高校学报著作权内涵和归属进行思辨的基础上,探讨了维护高校学报著作权的实践重点。     

Swings and roundabouts: The impact of legal drafting on the language and understanding of copyright law and the need for educational materials†

Legislators face the challenging task of drafting copyright law, which takes into account the views of various stakeholders, intended policy and technological developments, whilst ensuring that the wording and language that is used is accurate and precise. Meeting these objectives means that the law in its legislative form can be hard-to-understand, complex and not easily accessible to the layperson. This article explores steps, which have been put in place by various organisations and online resources, to assist in the understanding of copyright for the public and schools, with particular focus on education and teaching materials – as presented on Copyrightuser.org.     

从信息法角度评《欧洲版权准则》

《欧洲版权准则》是由欧洲数名顶尖版权专家耗费8年时间于2010年完成的。制订这个准则的目的是增强欧洲版权法的透明度和一致性。起草者希望这部准则作为欧洲各国版权立法的参考和示范，能够协调和统一欧洲未来版权立法的标准。但是，这个准则在学术界并没有得到应有的重视。当前从信息法角度，结合信息技术的发展及我国版权立法和司法实践，对这部法律文件的特点、优点和不足进行分析，着重对网络环境下版权制度的变革和发展，做出评价和展望十分必要。     

网络环境下私人复制著作权问题研究

在网络环境下,传统著作权法中为个人目的使用作品属于著作权限制的原则开始动摇。网络环境下对待私人复制的态度应以利益平衡原则为指导,在原则上将其纳入合理使用范畴时,给予一定限制。网络环境下私人复制及相关行为应区分不同情况确定其行为性质。为更好地调整因私人复制产生的社会关系,我国应利用《著作权法》第三次修改的大好时机对相关问题进行修改和完善。     

域外著作权权能设置及对我国的立法启示

著作权权能设置是著作权立法的核心内容。虽然各国所设置的著作权权能所舍的人身利益和财产利益不完全相同,逻辑结构也存在差异,但随着知识产权全球化进程的发展,各国著作权立法不同的理论基础对著作权权能设置的影响逐渐弱化,著作权国际公约对各国著作权权能设置的制约力度加大,各国著作权权能设置已呈扩张态势。我国在修改《著作权法》时,应当借鉴域外立法经验,增设著作收回权的权能、启用作者身份权的立法名称、规范著作他项权的立法表述。     

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.     

Digital Economy Act 2010: fighting a losing battle? Why the ‘three strikes’ law is not the answer to copyright law's latest challenge

This paper argues that the Digital Economy Act (DEA) 2010, already much delayed in its implementation, is fundamentally flawed in three respects. First, there are internal inconsistencies in the complex provisions to be enacted under secondary legislation. In particular, the problem of relying on Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to identify alleged infringers has proved problematic. Secondly, the proposed measures are disproportionate in terms of the offence and severity of the punishment involving a warning-system leading to possible disconnection from the Internet for copyright infringement. Thirdly, the Act is unlikely to succeed in its central purpose to control unauthorised digital copying because of its technological specificity in a fast moving environment, and a lack of consumer acceptance. Finally, by comparing the treatment of these issues under legislation in other countries, in particular New Zealand, alternative copyright enforcement models are explored.     

Managing creativity: the tensions between commodities and gifts in a digital networked environment

Abstract

In this paper, I critically examine the management of creativity in a digital networked economic and social environment, which broadly comprises high-speed Internet connections and a diverse ecology of devices and other infrastructure. The non-rivalrous and non-excludable characteristics of information, in this environment, pose distinct challenges for the industrial producers of creativity (such as film studios, publishing houses, record labels). The paper uses the case of media and entertainment to pursue two analytical goals. The first is to conceptualize the networked environment as a seedbed for myriad ‘Internet gift economies’, which are broadly defined by decentralized social production and sharing of resources within networks of computer users (or peers). The second is to consider the extent to which Internet gift economies can be regulated in a fashion that incorporates scope for some degree of commodification. I therefore seek to identify potential routes towards more balanced ‘peer-based’ models, which combine the power of Internet gift economies with the ongoing reproduction of industrialized creativity. There is a brief conclusion, where I comment upon the challenges facing the long-term expansion and legalization of Internet gift economies.
