从DMX到Noank:平衡知识共享与版权保护模式的探索

From DMX to Noank: Exploration on Patterns of Balancing Knowledge Sharing and Copyright Protection

互联网环境下知识共享与版权保护的矛盾使现有版权管理制度陷于困局。哈佛大学法学院贝克曼中心为此提出了三种新版权管理模式DMX、Coop和Noank。为总结和借鉴这三种模式解决问题的思路和方法,本文介绍和分析了这三种模式的产生背景、指导思想、基本构成、运行流程和演进过程,总结了三个模式的创新之处及其对开展知识共享与版权保护平衡研究的启示。结果发现,贝克曼中心把网络空间数字内容自由使用的合法性作为突破点,采取基于网络的合作策略,促成了知识共享与版权保护创新模式的构建。这进一步表明,新机制的建立应该以互联网环境下的数字内容具有公共物品属性这一基本特征为出发点。

The contradiction of knowledge sharing and copyright protection in cyberspace puts the current copyright protection system in predicament. The Berkman Center for Internet ＆ Society at Harvard Law School suggests 3 new copyright management patterns, i.e., DMX, Coop and Noank, to tackle the situation. To summarize and draw the ideas and methods of the 3 patterns, this paper studies the 3 patterns .The origin, the guiding concepts, main components, the operational scheme and evolution process of 3 patterns are introduced and analyzed; the creative points of the 3 patterns and the inspiration for the study of balancing knowledge sharing and copyright protection are summarized. It is found out that the Berkman Center has constructed new patterns to balance knowledge sharing and copyright protection by taking the legality of using digitalcontent freely in cyberspace as the breakthrough point and adopting a corporate strategy over Internet. It further indicates that, since digital content has properties of public goods, new patterns should take this essential feature as the startin~ noint.
