浅论著作权延伸性集体管理制度

On the Extended Collective Management System of Copyright

在著作权集体管理组织逐渐具有代表性的今天,关于非会员是否有权对已向著作权集体管理组织缴费的使用者单独提出权利要求的讨论也愈演愈烈。最高人民法院在相关案例的判决中主张已经向集体管理组织交费的使用者无须向个体权利人承担赔偿责任,从司法实践的角度确立了著作权延伸性集体管理的理念。同时,《中华人民共和国著作权法(修订草案送审稿)》第63条也引进了该制度。我国建立著作权延伸性集体管理制度有其必要性,借鉴北欧的制度发展模式,我国可在制度的实施条件、适用范围、非会员退出机制等方面进一步完善著作权延伸性集体管理制度。

As the collective management organization of copyright has been more representative today,there is an increasingly heated debate on whether non-member copyright owners have the right to make separate claim sto the users who have already paid the fees to the collective management organizations of copyright. The Supreme People’s Court proposed in the judgements of relevant cases that the users who have paid fees not have to assume compensation liability to individual copyright owners,which established the concept of the extended collective management system from the perspective of judicial practice. Meanwhile, Article 63 of the Copyright Law of the People’s Republic of China(Revised Draft) also introduced the system through legislation. It is essential for China to establish the extended collective management system of copyright by using for reference the Nordic mode of the system. And China should further improve the system in the aspects of conditions of implementation,scope of application,non-member withdrawal mechanism,etc.
