同人作品的文化层累功能及其与在先作品竞争法上的法益关系——以《此间的少年》为例

The Cultural Layer-accumulated Function of Colleague's Works and the Legal Interest Relation Between Them and the Earlier Works on Competitive Law——Take “The Juvenile Here” as an Example

《此间的少年》这类"架空"利用原作的同人作品,既不违反现行著作权法及商标法,也不构成对原作竞争法上的法益侵害。这主要是因为同人作品一般对在先作品不造成替代和竞争,相反,多数同人作品与原作是互相支撑的关系,甚至会造成"同人逆迷"的情况。另外,同人作品还具有文化层累的功能。基于尊重创作规律、有利于文化生成的考虑,同人创作对于在先作品之"搭便车"不应被法律普遍禁止,只有在涉嫌抄袭、剽窃等特定情况下才应加以规制,而著作权法对此已经加以明确,不宜在竞争法上扩张保护。

Colleague＇s works such as ＂The Juvenile Here＂ does not violate the current copyright law and the trademark law, nor does it constitute an infringement of competitive law interests of the originals. This is mainly because the works of colleagues generally does not cause substitution and competition for the earlier works, on the contrary, most of them support the original works, and even turn those who do not love the originals into fans. What＇s more important, the colleague＇s works has a function of culture layer-accumulated. Thus, in order to forward the generation of culture and the development of literature, free ride should not be forbidden except for plagiarism.
