同人作品著作权保护的法律思考

Legal Thinking on the Protection of Copyright of Fan Works

同人作品是网络发展下的一类新兴作品,也是文化产业发展不可忽视的一部分,现有法律的空白使得同人作品在侵权与否之间处于灰色地带,同人作品创作受阻,文化也难以交流和传播。在分析同人作品具有的特性和价值的基础之上,立足于著作权法的目的和基本原则,提出将其纳入著作权客体范畴予以保护。

Fan work is a kind of new works in the development of internet, it is also one unneglectable part of cultural industry development. But the blank of the law makes the fan work in the gray area between in- fringement and legitimate, which is blocking the authors of fan works working and hindering the cultural ex- change and dissemination. Based on the analysis about the characteristics and values of fan works, as well as the purpose and the basic principles of copyright law, it is presented that fan works should be included in the copyright protected areas.
