电子竞技比赛动态画面可版权性研究

Study on the Copyright of E-sports Dynamic Images

电子竞技近年来在国际范围内迅猛发展,但对于电子竞技比赛动态画面的法律属性、权利归属及其权利内容等问题,现有研究较为匮乏。司法实践中,上海知识产权法院于2015年审理的耀宇诉斗鱼一案中,法院认为电子竞技比赛动态画面不是作品,这一认定曲解了我国现有立法的规定。电子竞技比赛动态画面符合我国著作权法所规定的"作品"的三要素,应当认定为"类电影作品"。立法应认定著作财产权和部分著作人身权由赛事主办方享有,并与电子竞技比赛的其他作者分享利益,当事人对著作财产权分配的约定具有优先效力,从而更为妥善地协调保护各方的合法权益。

E-sports have developed rapidly in the world.The existing research is relatively scarce on the ownership of the rights and the contents of their rights in the dynamic images of e-sports competition and the content of its right.In the case of＂ Yao Yu appeals Dou Yu＂ in 2015,Shanghai Court of Intellectual Property Court adjudged the e-sports game dynamic picture is not a work.This determination misinterpreted the provisions of current regulations.The dynamic picture of the e-sports competition conforms to the three elements of the ＂works＂ stipulated in the copyright law of our country,and should be regarded as ＂film-like works＂.Legislation should determine that the property rights and part of the personal rights in a work are entitled to the event organizers and the benefits should be shared with other authors of the e-sports competition.The parties have a priority in the agreement on the allocation of property rights.So the legitimate rights and interests of all parties will be better protected.
