单纯事实消息新闻的法律保护困境及其突破

Discussion on the Legal Protection of Pure Fact News

目前我国的著作权法只保护时事新闻作品,而不保护单纯事实消息的新闻。然而,单纯事实消息新闻有着迫切的保护需求,故可以从美国的"热点新闻转载挪用规则"和德国的"不正当模仿他人成果规则"中思考如何保护我国单纯事实消息的新闻。从法的价值平衡角度出发,可以得知著作权法和反不正当竞争法在新闻的保护方面并不是冲突的。通过整合美国、德国的有关规则,并借鉴意大利著作权法原始获得新闻者16小时优先传播权的规定,可以在《中华人民共和国反不正当竞争法》中的"不正当竞争行为"一章规定新闻事实挪用行为的法律规制。

At present,copyright law in China only protects current affairs news works,but does not protect pure fact news.However,there is an urgent need for protection of pure fact news.Therefore,we can think about how to protect pure factual news in China from the rules of"reprinting and misappropriating hot news"in the United States and"imitating others’achievements improperly"in Germany.From the perspective of value balance of law,we can know that the copyright law and the anti-unfair competition law are not in conflict in the protection of news.By integrating the relevant rules of the United States and Germany,and learning from the 16 hourly priority to disseminate for the gainer of original news in Italian Copyright Law,it is possible to stipulate the legal regulation of misappropriation of news facts in the chapter of Unfair Competition Behavior in the Anti-Unfair Competition Law.
