论作品的社会属性

Social Attributes of the Work

人们谈及作品的特征,总会提到作品具有"无形性"、"可复制性"、"非损耗性",这些可以归纳为作品的自然属性。作品是一种形式,手抄本时期的作品并非不具有"可复制性",可是手抄本时期作者可以控制基于作品价值而产生的利益,因此社会不需要著作权法来调整相关各方的利益关系。印刷机产生后,著作权法之所以产生,并不是由于作品的自然属性发生了改变,而是由于作品在传播中难以被作者所控制,即作品的社会属性发生了改变。在数字网络技术条件下,作品可以通过对作品设置技术措施控制作品。网络条件下作品的自然属性没有改变,而作品的社会属性却发生了改变,因此合理使用制度以及著作权法必然发生深层次的变化。

People talk about the characteristics of work,was always refer to work with ＂invisible＂,and ＂reproducibility＂, ＂non-attntlon＂ which can be summarized as natural properties of the work. Work is a form and the works in manuscript period were with the ＂reproducibility＂, but authors then could control benifits based on works＂ value, so the community didn＇t need to copyright laws to adjust interests of all parties. Press generated and copyrigh law had been born, not because of the natural properties of the work changed, but because work is difficult to be controlled by authors in the dissemination,the social attributes of works changed. With the digital network technology,work is controlled by work setting technology, so the social attributes of the work changed, and usage of rules and copyright laws changed deeply.
