论计算机软件许可中的电子自助--以美国《统一计算机信息交易法》第815条和第816条为中心

Electronic Self-Help of Computer Software Licensing——Focus on Section 815 and 816 of Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act of USA

1999年,美国《统一计算机信息交易法》确立了计算机信息交易中的电子自助法律制度,并对其实施要件及限制作了详细规定。电子自助法律制度对平衡计算机软件许可中双方当事人的权利义务有重大意义。作为一种新型的自助行为,就救济成本和救济效率而言,电子自助具有公力救济所没有的优势。我国应从权利内容、实施限制、实施程序等方面来构建我国的电子自助法律制度。

Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act of USA （1999） established electronic self-help legal system and specified its necessary implementing elements and restrictions in computer information transaction. The system is essential in balancing the rights and obligations between both parties in computer software licensing. As a new style of self-help action, it is superior to public relief in both redress cost and relief efficiency. Our country should build up electronic self-help legal system in respects of right content, implementing restrictions, implementing procedures etc.
