音乐喷泉的著作权保护

On the Copyright Protection of Music Fountain

在我国,音乐喷泉的著作权保护一直存在较大争议,西湖音乐喷泉案的判决又一次引起了各方对这一问题的研究和探讨。对此,法院和学界持有不同观点,但所持观点均有不足之处。现根据我国《著作权法》规定的作品构成要件、作品类型归属等基本理论进行分析,可以得出音乐喷泉属于文学艺术作品,应当受《著作权法》保护的结论。由于现有法律并未规定音乐喷泉的作品类型,因此,《著作权法》可以考虑扩充作品类型从而给予音乐喷泉有效的著作权保护。

In our country, the copyright protection of music fountain has been a big dispute, and the west lake music fountain case judgment has once again caused the research and discussion on this issue of different schools. In this regard, the court and the academic community hold different views, but they all have shortcomings. Based on the analysis of the basic theories of composing elements of works and ownership of types of works stipulated in the copyright law of China, it can be concluded that music fountain belongs to literary and artistic works. However, the existing laws cannot accommodate the types of music fountain works, so the copyright law can consider expanding the types of works to provide effective copyright protection for music fountain.
