论美术作品著作权之侵害的例外情形——从壁画《赤壁之战》被毁一案谈起

美术作品的著作权与所有权往往并不是同属于一人,在美术作品的所有人因为故意或重大过失毁损美术作品原件时,美术作品的著作权人可否以著作权受到侵害为由向所有人请求损害赔偿,这正是大型壁画《赤壁之战》被毁损一案所提出的值得思考的问题。该案构成了著作权之人格权侵害的特殊情形,我国法律没有作出明确的规定,法院应该在具体案件中通过确立判决先例尝试加以填补。

Generally speaking, the copyright of art does not always belong to its owner.

Court should protect the author's moral right by establishing a precedent in practice of justice.
