著作权延伸性集体管理制度的中国化构建——以比较法为视角

The Localization of Extended Collective Licensing System in China:From the Perspective of Comparative Law

源于北欧诸国著作权法上的著作权延伸性集体管理,将本由集体管理组织与使用者之间的作品使用合同依法延伸适用于非会员权利人。因该制度涵盖面广、可降低交易成本等显著特点,目前已成为世界各国解决数字化环境下作品海量使用授权问题的首选立法方案。我国《著作权法修订草案(送审稿)》引入了此项制度,但颇具争议。引入著作权延伸性集体管理制度符合我国国情,但需谨慎移植,删除《著作权法修订草案(送审稿)》第63条"其他方式"的表述,增加集体管理组织的通知义务;在第74条中增加,在非会员权利人起诉使用人侵权,法院判决使用人支付赔偿时,"集体管理组织应向使用人退还所收取的使用费"。

Extended collective licensing system that originates from Nordic countries copyright law has expanded its range of application of the contracts between collective organizations and users on use of works to non - member right holder. With the merits of wider coverage and lower costs, this legislation scheme has been preferred by countries worldwide managing mass licensing in a digitized environment. Revised Draft of Copyright Law of People＇ s Republic of China has introduced this scheme. However, this lead to widespread controversies in terms of the feasibility of this system. The author of this article holds that extended collective licensing system suits China＇ s situation except that the statement of ＂other patterns＂ should be pruned, the obli- gation of the Collective Organizations be added in the 63rd provision of the draft, and the Collective Organizations should refund the users when the user is sued by non - member right holder for infringement of rights while the court has sentenced the user to compensate.
