网络服务提供者主观过错的认定

Affirmation of Subjective Faults of Internet Service Providers

网络服务提供者在网络环境下的知识产权侵权中承担间接侵权责任时,主观过错的认定具有重要意义。主观过错包括"明知"和"应知",权利人的"通知"或者"警告"只是判断网络服务提供者"知道"的一个途径,而不是唯一途径。根据"通知与移除"规则判断网络服务提供者是否适用"避风港"原则的同时,也需要明确是否符合"红旗标准",只有将"避风港原则"和"红旗标准"综合运用,才能正确认定网络服务提供者的主观过错。

The paper thinks that the affirmation of the subjective faults of network service providers is of great importance when they assume indirect tort liability in the network environment. Subjective faults include ＂knowing perfectly well＂ and ＂being knowable＂, the obligees＇ notice or warn is merely a way of judging that network service providers know,but not the only way. At the same time when judging whether network service providers apply to safe harbor or not, whether they are according with red flag standard must be cleared. Only combining safe harbor with red flag standard are the subjective faults of network service providers identified correctly.
