图书馆在著作权保护中的义务与责任研究——基于案例分析

A Study of Obligations of Libraries to Safeguard Copyright: Based on Case Studies

当图书馆为用户服务牵涉著作权问题时,除了主张自己应拥有的权利外,承担尊重著作权人利益的义务与责任是必要的。而且,图书馆是否履行义务,已经成为判断其行为侵权与否的一项重要标准。通过对图书馆履行著作权保护义务的案例分析,明确图书馆在著作权保护中应承担的义务与责任,如删除和阻断侵权链接的义务、张贴著作权警示的义务、签订合同时履行的义务、合理使用和法定许可作品履行的义务、其他责任等。

When libraries provide service for users, but involve copyrights, they should shoulder responsibilities of protecting copyright holders’ interests as well, despite their legitimate right of using the literature in the meantime. Furthermore, whether libraries have assumed some obligations has become an important criterion of determining whether they infringe the copyrights or not. The paper analyzes several cases and clarifies the responsibilities and obligations of libraries, such as deleting links of infringement, putting up warnings of copyright infringement, obligations when signing contracts, fair use and statutory license.
