我国著作权法中广播组织权内容的综合解读

An Integrated Interpretation on the Rights of Broadcasting Organizations in China’s Copyright Law

我国2020年《著作权法》第47条对广播组织权的范围作了一定扩张,但仍沿袭了禁止权立法模式,并重申了权利行使不得损害在先权利的基本原则。对这一条款的理解与适用,需结合著作权法相关条款和基本原理作综合解读。广播组织对不包含他人作品或录音录像制品的由其自己制作和播放的广播、电视,有权禁止他人未经许可使用,也可许可他人以《著作权法》第47条第1款规定的各种方式使用;对包含他人作品或录音录像制品的广播、电视,广播组织有权禁止他人未经许可以《著作权法》第47条第1款规定的各种方式使用,但除非有相反的明确约定或授权,广播组织不得复制发行、重播或许可他人播放其已经录制的包含他人作品或录音录像制品的广播、电视;对未经许可使用包含他人作品或录音录像制品的广播、电视的行为,著作权人、录制者和广播组织均可请求禁止。广播、电视中的他人作品或录音录像制品被第三人侵害的,损害赔偿的请求权由其权利人行使,权利人与广播组织有相反约定的除外。
