技术措施例外规则的体系取舍与本土形塑

System Selection and Local Shaping of Technical Measure Exceptions

技术措施入法后,极大地扩张了著作权人的权利范畴进而引发争议,需要设置相应的例外控制其负面效应。我国现行著作权法对技术措施例外的规定既无法有效抑制权利的实质扩张,又未能反映产业与技术发展的新需求且缺乏合理的本土协调机制,因此需要理性权衡并选择适当的规制强度和方式对其矫正。通过制度目标调整,充分考虑我国本土实践,以谨慎扩充一般例外和合理设定临时例外类型共为协调路径,促进我国技术措施保护水平的理性回归,恢复我国合理使用制度在数字环境下的适用、保障公众及本土产业主体对信息获取的需要,实现新技术环境下技术措施与信息接触自由的再度平衡。

After technical measures are incorporated into copyright law,it has greatly expanded the scope of copyright owners'rights and thus caused certain disputes.Therefore,it is necessary to set up corresponding exceptions to control their negative effects.The provisions on the exceptions of technical measures in China's current copyright law can not effectively restrain the substantial expansion of rights,and also fail to reflect the new needs of industrial and technological development,at the same time lack a reasonable local coordination mechanism.Therefore,it is necessary to weigh rationally and choose appropriate intensity of regulation to correct it.In order to reasonably reduce the protection level of technical measures in China,we should firstly adjust the objectives of the whole system and take the local practice into fully consideration.Then we should carefully expand the permanent exemptions and set up new temporary exceptions properly.By doing so,fair use in the digital environment could be restored and the needs for the public and local industrials to access information could be fulfilled again.At the end of the day,the conflicts between technical measures and free access in the digital environment wouldbe removed eventually.
