论网络服务提供者的著作权侵权信息披露义务

On the Disclosure Obligation of Copyright Infringement Information of Internet Service Providers

网络服务提供者的著作权侵权信息披露义务是网络环境下保护著作权的必然要求,我国现行立法对此未作明确规定,司法实践中仍然沿袭已经废止的《最高人民法院关于审理计算机网络著作权纠纷案件适用法律若干问题的解释》相关规定精神,判令网络服务提供者对著作权人负有信息披露义务,且进行了变通。应当再次在立法中明确网络服务提供者的信息披露义务,并作实体和程序上的严格限定,以便在平衡版权保护和技术发展的同时,有效维护公众的隐私权和表达自由。

The disclosure obligation of copyright infringement information of Internet service providers is an inevitable requirement for copyright protection in the network environment,which is not clearly stipulated in the current legislation in China.In judicial practice,the relevant provisions of the abolished Judicial Interpretation of Internet Copyright are still being used,and the ISPs are ordered to bear the obligation of information disclosure to copyright owners,making relevant adaptations.In order to balance copyright protection and technological development and to safeguard the public’s privacy and freedom of expression effectively,it is necessary to clarify the information disclosure obligations of ISP in legislation and strictly restrict their entity and procedure.
