著作权法视域下复制行为的界定

Defining Duplication in the Sight of Copyright Law

在现行《著作权法》中,复制行为与复制权紧密相连,复制权控制下的复制行为是一种以印刷、复印、拓印、录音、录像、翻录、翻拍等方式,直接、间接、永久或暂时地将作品制作一份或者多份的重复制作行为。物理特征和时空特征是复制行为必须具备的两个显著特征。只有明晰复制行为的物理特征和时空特征,才能将复制行为类型化为"从有到有"和"从无到有"两大类。同理,也只有在此基础上,才能将复制行为与出版行为、复制行为与引用行为更好地区别开来。

In the current copyright law, duplication and reproduction rights are closely connected. Duplication under the control of reproduction rights includes printing, photocopying, rubbing, recording, videoing, ripping, remaking, etc., a repeated behavior of producing one or more copies of the works directly, indirectly, permanently or temporarily. Duplication has salient physical, spatial and temporal features. Clarifying the two features may help to classify duplications into two categories. Similarly, only on this basis can we distinguish duplication from publication and reference respectively.
