民间文学艺术作品的保护机制探讨

A Discussion of the Protection Mechanism on Works of Folklore

目前国家版权局的《民间文学艺术作品著作权保护条例》(草案)已经公布征求意见,该草案设立了由民间文学艺术作品权利人或专门管理机构行使事先许可权和获得报酬权的机制。为促进我国民间文学艺术作品的利用,民间文学艺术作品的商业性使用应当实行法定许可,同时配套建立两套登记制度:一是自愿的、由民间文学艺术作品主体代表机构进行事先的权属登记,二是强制性的、由民间文学艺术作品的商业使用人在规定时间内进行使用登记和交费,主体不能确定时使用费转入专门的民间文学艺术发展基金。

The NCAC Draft Regulation on Protecting Works of Folklore establishes a double- track protection mode endowing the right holder or a specialized agency on behalf of the right holder to deliver license and collect remuneration before the commercial use. This paper prefers a statutory license mechanism with two sets of registration systems. Ownership registration is for the right holders to register their works of folklore voluntarily at any time,use registration is a strict compulsory system for the commercial users to register and pay loyalty. When the right holders can not be confirmed after relevant procedure,the royalty could be shifted to a specific development fund established for works of folklore.
