自媒体“洗稿”行为的法律性质探析

Analysis of the Legal Nature of"Manuscript Washing"by We Media

自媒体“洗稿”行为已成为媒体行业的一个普遍现象,严重危害媒体持续发展的生态环境。“洗稿”行为是否属于侵权行为,是当前规制的一大难点。在对被“洗稿”作品进行划分的基础上,将属于我国著作权法保护范围内的被“洗稿”作品从“合理使用”和“司法认定”两个维度对其法律行为性质进行分析。对于不在我国著作权法保护范围内的被“洗稿”作品,将以不正当竞争行为构成的三要件对其进行分析,从我国反不正当竞争法出发对自媒体“洗稿”行为的法律性质进行认定。

The"manuscript washing"behavior of we media has become a common phenomenon in the media industry,and its popularity seems to have become a tacit"hidden rule"in the industry,which seriously harms the ecological environment of the sustainable development of media.Whether the act of"manuscript washing"belongs to tort and whether it can be regulated by law is a major difficulty in current regulations.On the basis of the classification of the"washed"works,the thesis analyzes the nature of the legal behavior of the works that belong to the protection scope of the Copyright Law from two dimensions of"fair use"and"judicial identification".For works not covered by the Copyright Law,the thesis analyzes them with three elements of unfair competition,and identifies the legal nature of the"manuscript washing"behavior of we media from the perspective of the Anti-unfair Competition Law.
