网络环境下版权纠纷的法律分析

Legal Analysis on the Copyright Issues under theNetwork Environments

2000年11月22日最高法院公布的《关于审理计算机网络著作权纠纷案适用法律若干问题的解释》中规定:网络环境下的版权纠纷由《著作权法》来调整,网络作品的使用形式包括:合理使用、法定许可使用和授权使用三种形式。其中网络作品的“合理使用”范围,网络作品用于商业用途中是否必须适用“授权许可”方式,以及网络侵权责任的认定等问题,是90％以上的版权纠纷的焦点。作者认为建立一个统一的、职能完备的版权集体管理机构是解决网络版权纠纷的有效途径。

On November 22nd, 2000, the Senior Court promulgated' the Applied Law' concerning the judging issues of the network copyrights. In the judicial interpretation of the law it stipulates that under the network environment, the issues of copyrights should be adjusted by laws of the Author's Copyrights. And the applied forms of networks should be the rational use, the legal use and the authorized use. Over 90% disputes of the copyrights focus on the problems as follows: 1. Networks should be in the limits of the 'the rational use', 2. Whether the form of 'the authorized use' is suited for network tort when it is for business purposes, 3.How to ascertain the liability of network tort. The author says that the efficient way to resolve copyright issues is to set up a perfect-functioned unitary management institution of the copyrights.
