国际版权网络侵权的法律适用问题研究

Study on Legal Application Issues of Internet Infringement to International Copyright

随着互联网的普及以及网络技术的发展,近年来国际版权网络侵权案件的数量急剧上升,而且往往涉及众多国家。目前世界上的四个典型提案为了应对国际版权网络侵权的无处不在性,均规定了"无处不在之侵权"法律适用规则,通过适用单一法以避免适用多国法所带来的诉讼困境。通过分析四个提案中的相关规定,建议我国应借鉴CLIP原则和日韩共同提案中的相关规定,规定知识产权无处不在之侵权应适用最紧密联系地法,同时规定"回归属地性例外"。此外,考虑到间接侵权救济对于版权人权利保护的重要性和便利性,我国法律应当同时规定知识产权间接侵权适用被请求保护地法,知识产权无处不在之间接侵权适用与间接侵权关系最密切联系地法。

Owing to the popularization of Internet and the development of technology, recent years have witnessed a considerable increase in the international copyright infringements on the Internet, which usually involved many countries. In order to address the ubiquity of the international copyright infringements on the Internet, four proposals have provided the choice-of-law rules for the ＂ubiquitous infringement＂. All of these proposals suggest subjecting the ubiquitous infringement to a single law, which avoids a long, laborious lawsuit. After the analysis of the provisions of the four proposals, we should use the provisions of the CLIP Principles and the Joint Proposal for reference. The choice-of-law rules for ubiquitous infringement of intellectual property rights, secondary infringement of intellectual property rights and ubiquitous secondary infringement of intellectual property rights should be added to Chinese law： the ubiquitous infringement shall be governed by the law of the state that has the closest connection with that infringement in its entirety; the secondary infringement shall be governed by the laws of the place where protection is claimed; the ubiquitous secondary infringement shall be governed by the law of the state that has the closest connection with the secondary infringement.
