论广播电台电视台播放作品法定许可的存与废——基于立法价值的视角

A Review on Statutory License for the Using of Works by Broadcasting Organizations from the Perspective of Legislative Value

有关广播组织的法定许可早在1990年《著作权法》中就已有规定,目的是保证广播电台电视台的作品使用,并给著作权人提供经济利益保障。但实践中,该制度在给广播组织带来极大便利的同时,存在着作者获酬权无法实现的问题。这直接导致立法者在《著作权法》(修订草案第二稿)中选择删除相关规定。但从制度立法价值的角度看,当前保留广播电台电视台播放作品法定许可在实现广电媒体社会公共价值、降低其与权利人之间的交易成本和避免一方优势地位影响作品的使用和传播方面仍具优势。

The statutory license for broadcasting organizations has been stipulated in the 1990’ s Copyright Law to guarantee the use of works by broadcasting organizations and to provide copyright owners with financial protection. In practice, while the system brings great convenience to broadcasting organizations, there is a problem that the author’s right to remuneration cannot be realized. This directly led that the legislator chose to delete the relevant provisions in the Copyright Law (second draft of the revised draft). However, from the perspective of legislative value, presently, retaining the statutory license for the using of works by broadcasting organizations still has advantages in realizing the social public value of broadcasting organizations, reducing the transaction cost, and avoiding the influence of one party’ s dominant position on the use and dissemination of works.
