对网络时代版权过度保护的制度性反思——以DRM技术为例

INSTITUTIONAL REFLECTIONS ON COPYRIGHT OVERPROTECTION IN THE INTERNET ERA——A Case Study of DRM Technology

技术措施作为网络时代的新兴产物,有效打击了网络环境下肆意的盗版、非法使用等一系列影响版权人利益的行为,深受版权人青睐。但技术措施在有效保护版权人和作品传播者利益的同时,也引来社会众多质疑,其加强版权人利益保护的背后是对版权限制一定程度的漠视,削弱了公众对已进入社会公共领域的作品的使用能力,违背了著作权法保护作者权利和公共利益的双重目标。在信息传播极其便利的当下,应完善立法,引入"规则主义+因素主义"模式,明确版权人专有权的界限,适当推进技术措施程序升级,完善权限设置,以有效缓解版权人与社会公众之间的利益矛盾,实现版权保护与权利限制之间的平衡,更好发挥知识产品的社会价值。

As a new product of the network era, technical measures are favored by the copyright owners, for these measures have effectively cracked down the rampant actions of piracy and illegal use that infringe the interests of copyright owners. However, while these measures protect the interests of copyright owners and distributors, they also bring about the controversy that there is somehow a disregard for copyright restriction bestreaming faster than ever, legislation should be consummated with the introduction of a rule - based and factor based model. The legislation should clarify the boundary of proprietary rights of copyright owners, update the technical measures, and improve permissions settings so as to alleviate the conflict of interests between the value of intellectual property.
