论版权平行进口中“首次销售原则”的适用——从美国联邦最高法院好市多诉欧米茄案谈起

The Application of "First Sale Doctrine"in Parallel Importation of Copyrighted Works

研究版权平行进口中"首次销售原则"的适用问题,根据产地加以区分的做法缺乏理论依据;国内法对"首次销售"行为之效力的认定是关键。"首次销售原则"与版权地域性、独立性无关,一国对"首次销售原则"本身的地域性限制只是该国在制度设计上的选择,而并非该制度的天然特性,也并非源自版权的地域性特征。

The determination of the applicability of ＂First Sale Doctrine＂ regarding the parallel importation of copyrighted works shall not be based on distinguishing between places of production. The key to this issue is the legal effect of the ＂first sale＂ conduct under domestic laws. ＂First Sale Doctrine＂ has nothing to do with the territorial and independent feature of copyright. The territorial restriction on the application of ＂First Sale Doctrine＂ is merely one certain country＇ s policy choice, and is neither the natural resuR of the doctrine itself nor that of the territorial nature of copyright.
