《证据新规》下版权诉讼中的区块链证据:需求、规制及治理应对

Blockchain Evidence on Copyright under the"New Evidence Regulations":Demands,Evaluation and Response

区块链存证可实现版权登记形式的结构性变革,在精准确权基础上完整记载交易链条,有效消除中心化登记模式下登记成本较高并产生大量孤儿作品的弊端。2020年5月1日修改后生效的《关于民事诉讼证据的若干规定》,为版权领域的区块链证据带来了新的规则供给,其中确立的“推定真实”和“视为原件”规则,初步解决了区块链证据的真实性认定和原件认定问题。但是作者隐私权边界尚待明晰,证据在实质合法性层面容易产生瑕疵,自证观念的欠缺也使得技术与法治之间存在张力。为此可首先在版权诉讼中建立起技法融合的证据规则体系,完善法治规范以及司法审查程序,建立智能版权平台,促进区块链司法应用在我国生根发芽。

Blockchain evidence has the functions of reshaping copyright registration system,confirmation of rights,recording of the trading chain,reducing transaction costs and the number of orphan works.The Provisions on Evidence of Civil Litigation,which took effect on May 1,2020,has brought new rules for blockchain evidence in the field of copyright.The rules of"presumed truth"and"deemed as original"have preliminarily solved the issues of authenticity and original identification of blockchain evidence.However,the author's privacy right remains to be clarified,the evidence is prone to defects in the level of substantive legitimacy,and the lack of self-proof of technology also causes the tension between technology and law.To solve these problems,the rules of evidence and technical means can be combined in copyright litigation.Legislative and judicial review procedures need to be improved.Relevant organizations can build an intelligent copyright platform,so as to promote the development of blockchain judicial applications in china.
