论作品思想内容与著作权保护之关系

On the Relationship between Content of Works and Copyright Protection

对于著作权法的保护对象问题,随着著作权法律制度的不断发展,学界对此已经基本上形成定论,即著作权法保护的是作品的表现形式,而不是思想内容。这也就是所谓思想与表达"二分法"问题。但笔者认为,思想内容也应成为著作权法的保护内容,至少在一定情况下应被纳入著作权法的保护对象,即作品的表现形式和思想内容应同为其保护对象。

Scholars have already come to an agreement on the protection object stipulated by copyright law along with the improvement of the copyright law system, that is, copyright law protects the form of works instead of its contents. This is also so - called problem of ＂separation of content from expression form＂. However, the author maintains that content should also be the protection object of copyright law, at least in certain situation. Therefore, both expression form and content should be the protection object of copyright law.
