区块链技术能否解决“孤儿作品”版权难题

Can Blockchain Technology Solve the Copyright Problem of"Orphan Works"?

在新兴的网络、数据、人工智能相关的法律前沿问题背后,蕴含着技术与法律关系的基本理论问题,技术与法律之间并非单一的挑战关系,而可以成为互动关系。以当代版权制度的困境--"孤儿作品"的利用难题为例,在其困境的形成上存在技术与法律的互动,信息网络和数字化技术的发达使得这一难题暴露无遗。解决方案可遵循技术与法律的互动之道,求得最优解,区块链技术的引入将有望破解"孤儿作品"的利用难题,这本质上是一种技术驱动型的解决方案。以此表明技术可以作为法律方案的辅助和补充,与法律方案形成良性互动。

Behind the emerging legal frontier issues related to the Internet,data and artificial intelligence,there are basic theoretical issues about the relationship between technology and law.The relationship between technology and law can not only be challenging,but also be interactive.With the example of the dilemma of contemporary copyright system-the"orphan works",there is an interaction between technology and law in the formation of the dilemma,yet the development of information network and digital technology exposes the problem of how this works can be utilized.We can follow the way of interaction between technology and law to obtain the optimal solution to this problem,and the introduction of blockchain technology is expected to solve it,which is essentially a technology-driven solution.This shows that technology can be supplementary to legal schemes,and bring about a positive interaction between them.
