《著作权法》视角下短视频作品属性分析

An Analysis of the Attributes of Short Video Works from the Perspective of the Copyright Law

对短视频作品属性的分析是处理短视频侵权案件的前提,而独创性的判断问题则是讨论前述问题的焦点。《著作权法》视角下对短视频作品属性的分析主要涉及其是否构成作品与构成何种类型作品两层面问题:在是否构成作品层面,根据“独创性有无”标准,遵循“独立性+有一点创造性”判断,短视频可以构成作品,其中短视频时长短等因素均不能成为否认短视频作品地位的理由;在构成何种类型作品层面,按照《著作权法》规定,从文义解释与应然角度分析短视频应构成电影、电视剧作品之外的“其他视听作品”。

The analysis of the attributes of short video works is a prerequisite for handling short video infringement cases, and the problem of originality judgment is the focus of discussion of the aforementioned issues. The analysis of the attributes of short video works from the perspective of the Copyright Law mainly involves the two aspects of whether it constitutes a work and what type of work it constitutes: at the level of whether it constitutes a work, it follows the “independence + existence”standard according to the “existence of originality” standard. According to the judgment of “a little bit of creativity”, short videos can constitute works, among which factors such as the length of short videos cannot be the reasons for denying the status of short video works;in terms of what type of works constitute, in accordance with the provisions of the Copyright Law, the textual interpretation and interpretation. From the perspective of necessity, short videos should constitute “other audiovisual works”in addition to films and TV dramas.
