视频聚合行为的法律规制——以《著作权法》和《反不正当竞争法》为例

Legal Regulation of Video Aggregation: Taking Copyright Law and Anti-unfair Competition Law as Examples

针对"盗链"视频聚合行为的解决,现有的司法案例多以《著作权法》为审判依据。囿于《著作权法》制定之时的局限,无论理论界抑或实务界,在解释适用《著作权法》规制该类问题时,均无法统一观点进而形成具有说服力的结论,以有效保护权利人利益。究其根源在于模糊了《著作权法》与《反不正当竞争法》在保护知识产权权利及其财产利益上的边界,忽视了《反不正当竞争法》在保护知识产权上独具的敏锐性及适应性。新《反不正当竞争法》在视频聚合行为上作出的回应,昭示着《知识产权法》与《反不正当竞争法》体系性关系的新变革。

For the resolution of“hotlinking”video aggregation,the existing judicial cases mostly use Copyright Law as the basis for judgment.Concerning the limitations of Copyright Law,both the theoretical and practical circles could not unify their viewpoints and form convincing conclusions to effectively protect the interests of right holders when explaining the application of Copyright Law to regulate such issues.The cause lies in the blurring of the boundary between Copyright Law and Anti-unfair Competition Law in the protection of intellectual property rights and their property interests,and ignorance of the sensitivity and applicability of Anti-unfair Competition Law in the protection of intellectual property rights.The response of the new Anti-unfair Competition Law to the video aggregation shows that there is a new change in the systemic relationship between Intellectual Property Law and Anti-unfair Competition Law.
