网络爬虫行为版权侵权的行政规制

Administrative Regulations on Copyright Infringement by Web Crawlers

网络爬虫是一项能够根据指令自动搜索并抓取指定网络信息内容的新兴互联网技术,存在被滥用之风险。作为爬取网络版权数据信息的工具,网络爬虫行为版权侵权现象时有发生。目前,对于网络爬虫行为版权侵权的规制多见于民法与刑法领域,忽视了行政规制。目前存在的网络爬虫行为侵权规制过于依赖司法手段、缺乏针对网络爬虫行为的必要规范以及行政机关针对网络爬虫行为的互联网监管缺失等问题,阻碍了网络爬虫行为版权侵权行政规制的应用与发展。对此,可以从构建网络爬虫行为版权侵权的全覆盖预警系统、完善网络爬虫行为版权规范内容和设置网络爬虫使用者自律管理义务等方面着手,充分利用行政手段遏制网络爬虫行为版权侵权,保护版权权利人的合法权益。
