云服务供应商著作权侵权责任探讨

Exploration of Cloud Service Provider's Infringement Responsibility on Copyright

云计算背景下的著作权侵权纠纷究其本质在于著作权人、云计算服务供应商与广大用户之间的利益博弈,而这种利益平衡新格局建构的关键点就在于云服务供应商著作权侵权责任的界定。云服务供应商的侵权行为可分为直接侵权与间接侵权。在传统的"服务器标准"失灵的前提下,云服务供应商的直接侵权责任承担应在对临时复制是否免责进行判断的基础上结合三种不同的云服务供应模式进行综合判定;在界定云服务供应商的间接侵权责任承担时,则应结合对You Tube案与MP3Tunes案的分析重点关注红旗标准、避风港规则以及技术中立原则的适用问题。

The essence of copyright infringement dispute under the background of cloud computing lies in the benefit gambling among copyright owners, supplier of cloud computing service and the majority of clients. The key for constructing the new pattern of balance of interests lies in the definition for the copyright infringement liability of the cloud service providers. The infringement of cloud service provider can be divided into direct infringement and indirect infringement. Under the premise of the failure of traditional ＂server standards＂, the direct infringement lia- bility of the cloud service providers should be determined comprehensively on the basis of judging if the temporary copy should be exempted and by combining the three different supplying odes of cloud service. When defining the assumption of indirect infringement liability of the cloud service providers, it should put emphasis on the red flag standard, safe harbor rules as well as the application problem of technology neutrality principle by combining the analysis of the YouTube case and MP3Tunes case.
