从谷歌数字图书馆案看中美著作权合理使用制度--中美同案不同判引发的思考

Views on Rational Use System of Chinese and American Copyrights:Based on Google Digital Library Case

中美法院均围绕合理使用制度对谷歌数字图书馆的行为进行裁决,但由于两国不同的解读导致了截然相反的判决结果,这充分体现了两国法律在合理使用制度的司法解释上存在着巨大分歧。文章以谷歌数字图书馆的版权争议为研究对象,通过对中美两国同案不同判的司法分析,探究两国合理使用制度的差异,借鉴他国在面对新时代文化版权问题时逐渐倾向保护公共利益的司法考量,并对当下我国数字图书馆的构建、合理使用制度的完善提出合理建议。

Both Chinese and American courts have decided on the behavior of Google’s digital library around the fair use system.However, the different interpretations of the two countries have led to diametrically opposite judgments, which fully reflects the huge differences in the judicial interpretation of the fair use system between the two countries’ laws. This paper takes the copyright dispute of Google Digital Library as the research object to explore the differences in fair use systems in the two countries. There are some almost identical cases in China and the United States, but their verdicts are different, and this situation is analyzed in the article. Based on the experience from other countries that gradually tend to protect the public interest when it comes to cultural copyright issues in the new era, the article puts forward some reasonable suggestions for the construction of China’s digital libraries and the improvement of the fair use system.
