著作权视野下反规避条款的法律协调机制

Legal Coordination Mechanism of Anti-circumvention Provisions in Copyright Horizons

反规避条款突破了传统著作权法的结构范畴,其"超著作权"效应需要适当的法律协调机制予以制衡。著作权立法内与立法外是反规避条款法律协调机制的基本路径。我国反规避条款立场过于严苛,著作权立法内的法律协调机制相对封闭且缺乏弹性,著作权立法外的法律协调机制也尚待系统建构,故而有必要在著作权立法中引入相对开放和灵活的反规避条款协调机制,于著作权立法之外探究可行的司法协调路径,另借助数字消费者权益的立法保障亦有弱化反规避条款负面影响之效果。

Anti-circumvention provisions break the traditional structure of the cop3~ght law and their super- copyright effect needs to be checked and balanced by related coordination mechanism. Generally speaking, the coordination mechanism of anti-circumvention provisions can be divided into two kinds： the mechanism within the framework of copyright legislation and that beyond the framework of copyright legislation. The former refers to some restrictions reflected in the copyright law and related regulations, while the later refers to the copyright judicial practice and the related indirect legislative limit beyond the framework of copyright legislation. Our anti- circumvention provisions are too strict, with relatively closed and rigid coordination mechanism in copyright laws, and there has no supporting coordination mechanism beyond the framework of copyright legislation. It is necessary to introduce some relatively open and flexible coordination mechanisms within copyright legislation, and explore appropriate judicial coordination mechanism. In addition, the legislation to protect digital consumer can also weaken the potential negative impact of the anti-circumvention provisions.
