论网络环境中首次销售原则的适用:欧美裁判立场考察与中国镜鉴

On the Application of the Principle of Exhaustion of Distribution Rights in the Network Environment:A Review of European and American Adjudication Positions and China's Approach

随着数字互联网技术的迅速发展,基于纸媒体时代的作品首次销售原则已难以回应数字版权产业的发展需求。在互联网技术的驱动下,将首次销售原则扩张适用于规制数字作品复制件销售行为,才是首次销售原则未来的革新之路。在这种情况下,知识产权法中的两大基础性理论——利益平衡论与产业政策论依然可以为首次销售原则的扩张适用提供理论支撑。在具体的制度设计上,未来《著作权法》修订及相关司法解释的制定应考虑到首次销售原则适用范围扩大的客观需求,逐渐摒弃"复制件必须有形"的严苛标准,致力于协调发行权与信息网络传播权两者之间的控制范围,从而使首次销售原则在数字互联网时代重新焕发生机。

With the rapid development of digital Internet technology,the principle of first sale of works based on the era of paper media has been difficult to respond to the development needs of the digital copyright industry.Driven by Internet technology,the expansion of the first sale principle to the regulation of the sale of copies of digital works is the way to innovate the first sale principle in the future.Under this circumstance,the two basic theories in intellectual property law:the theory of balance of interests and the theory of industrial policy,can still provide theoretical support for the expansion and application of the first sale principle.In terms of specific sys⁃tem design,the revision of the Copyright Law and the formulation of relevant judicial interpretations in the future should take into account the objective needs of expanding the scope of application of the first sale principle,gradually abandon the strict standard of"copy must be tangible",and strive to coordinate distribution rights.The scope of control between the two and the right to disseminate information on the Internet,so that the first sale principle is revived in the digital Internet age.
