关于技术措施法律保护的若干思考

On Legal Protection for Technological Measures

数字环境下,网络侵权行为的隐蔽性大,版权保护的难度也随之加大。鉴于此,版权法赋予版权人技术措施权,以强化对其利益的保护。然而,技术措施是“全有或全无”的工具,技术措施的采用,将使社会公众的权利受到限制或剥夺,由此引发诸多的冲突。因此,如何平衡版权人与社会公众之间的利益关系,就成为现代版权法的重要使命。

Intemet piracy is easily covered up in cyber environment. Therefore, the protection for copyright is of greater difficulty. Hence, the copyright law endows the right-holders with the right of technological measures in order to safeguard their rights and interests. Nevertheless, technological measures are the tools of ＂all or nothing＂ and the adoption of technological measures means restriction or deprivation of the rights and the interests of the public, which will result in various conflicts between the rights-holders and the public. Therefore, how to balance the interests has become an important mission of the modem copyright law.
