论网络服务提供者的著作权间接侵权责任

Internet Service Providers' Internet Indirect Infringement Liability of Copy Rights

网络用户侵犯他人著作权案件中,著作权人难以追究直接侵权主体的侵权责任,而网络服务提供者在此类案件中客观上为网络用户的侵权行为提供了条件,如果其主观上对侵权事实有过错,可以追究其间接侵权责任,并为其设定其免责条件,平衡著作权人合法权益和网络信息自由及互联网产业发展的目标。目前,我国相关法律法规中都对此有所规制,但存在网络服务提供者的类型化规范不统一、通知规则和知道规则规定模糊等问题。基于网络服务提供者的承担著作权间接侵权责任的原因及我国立法现状,要明确网络服务提供者的概念,完善网络服务提供者的类型化规范。在过错责任归责原则的指导下,细化通知规则,合理解释知道规则,提高法条的可操作性。

In the cases of internet user＇s copyright infringement,the copyright owner can not investigate the direct infringement subject but the fact is that the Internet service provider provides objective possibilities for the Internet users to perform infringement act. If they subjectively are responsible for this infringement they should assume indirect infringement liability.Additionally,exception conditions are also set up to balance the legal interest of the copyright owners,free Internet information,and the goal of internet industry. Although there are corresponding lawyers to regulate this but lack of unified standard,inform rules,and acknowledgement rules. Based on the causes and the status of China＇s legislation,it is suggested to make an explicit concept for the internet service provider and promote categorization standard. Under the guidance of the fault liability principle,the research focus is to refine rules of informing and explain acknowledgement rule so as to improve the feasibility of the law.
