摘要
The exis＇ting legal regulation which provides overprotection for copyright technological protection measures （TPMs） might induce great harms including paracopyright, violation of user＇s human rights and stifling subsequent creativity. The current Chinese Copyright Law does not accord with the international treaties and has broken the balance of interests between copyright holders and users. In addition to its primary objective of providing sufficient protection to creators ＇ interests, Chinese Copyright Law also serves a more important goal of promoting the public interest by encouraging the creation and dissemination of literary, artistic and scientific works. The latter is in fact the ultimate objective of Chinese Copyright Law. In order to rectify the current unjust situation, and reconcile the conflicts of interests＇ between copyright holders and users, a private use limitation on the information network transmission right should be admitted, and the circumvention of TPMs in the case of private use should be allowed during the third amendment of Chinese Copyright Law. Besides＇, a restrictive interpretation of ＂effectiveness ＂ in anti-circumvention rules should be adopted as a balancing tool to adjust the scope of copyright protection.
现行《著作权法》过度保护技术措施,存在着超越著作权、侵犯使用者人权和阻碍后续创新的制度缺陷,不仅不符合国际条约规定,而且造成了著作权人与使用者利益失衡。我国《著作权法》的首要目标是保护著作权人的私权利,但最终目标是通过鼓励后续创新和作品传播来造福于社会公众。这一双重目标决定了技术措施的保护必须适度。为了协调著作权人与使用者之间的利益冲突,在《著作权法》第三次修改中,应当对技术措施进行合理规制。通过增加对信息网络传播权的个人使用限制,并且狭义解释技术措施的"有效性",重塑著作权人与使用者之间的利益平衡。
