NFT数字作品的发行权及权利穷竭原则的适用研究

Research on the Application of the Issue Right and Exhaustion Doctrine of NFT Digital Works

【目的】通过分析NFT数字作品的著作权法律性质,为我国数字版权法律理论发展及司法审判实践提供建议。【方法】通过文献研究,梳理NFT数字作品及交易的法律性质,总结数字版权适用发行权的学界争议,并对“NFT侵权第一案”进行案例研究。【结果】现行版权法难以涵盖与应对NFT数字作品引发的难题与冲击,简单套用信息网络传播权容易引发理论分歧。【结论】我国数字版权法律应当及时摒弃“发行权仅适用于有形载体”的思维定式,在符合相应条件的基础上,NFT数字作品应当适用发行权及其权利穷竭原则。

[Purposes]This paper analyzes the legal nature in NFT digital works,and provides sugges⁃tions for the development of digital copyright legal theory and judicial trial practice in China.[Methods]Through literature research,this paper sorts out the legal nature of NFT digital works and transactions,and summarizes the impact of NFT on digital copyright law and the academic controversy over the appli⁃cation of distribution rights caused by NFT based on the case study of"the first NFT infringement case".[Findings]The current copyright law is difficult to cover and deal with the difficulties and impacts caused by NFT digital works,and simply applying the right of information network dissemination is likely to cause theoretical differences.[Conclusions]China′s digital copyright law should promptly aban⁃don the mindset that"the right of issuance is only applicable to tangible carriers",and on the basis of meeting the corresponding conditions,NFT digital works should apply the issue right and the exhaustion doctrine.
