“发行权一次用尽”原则在网络环境中的嬗变及重构

The Evolution and Reconstruction of the Principle of Exhaustion of Distribution Rights on Internet

"发行权一次用尽"原则在前网络时代有重要的功能,即限制知识产权人的权利、保障商品自由流通。但在网络环境下,由于发行行为概念的限制和权利冲突的消解,该原则并不适用。传统意义上的发行权与信息网络传播权在本质上是一致的。因此,从法律利益平衡的功能出发,"发行权一次用尽"的嬗变集中体现为信息网络传播权的扩张。

Principle of exhaustion of distribution rights on the pre-Internet age has an important function,which limits the intellectual property rights and protects the free movement of goods.But in the internet environment,the traditional exhaustion principle is not applicable,due to the limit of the concept of distribution behavior and the disappearing of right conflict.Essentially,distribution rights in traditional sense and the rights of information dissemination on internet are the same.Therefore,from the function of law of balancing the interests,the evolution of principle of exhaustion of distribution rights now becomes the expansion of the right of dissemination of information on the net.
