著作权法中作品独创性的审美逻辑

Aesthetic Logic of the Originality of Works in the Copyright Law

审美能够以特定方式作用于作品独创性,审美逻辑是著作权法的内在逻辑。审美可以作为作品独创性中人格要素、个性要素和创造性要素的阐释方式。审美可以作为判定艺术作品独创性的前提性条件,为作品独创性设定“外部过滤机制”。审美可以作为作品独创性表达类型化的实现途径,为作品独创性设定“内部分类机制”,进而为作品类型转换行为法律性质的界定、作品类型开放背景下作品独创性的判定以及著作权侵权判定方法的选取提供指引。审美是作品独创性司法裁判的非量化评价因素,“是否可以进行审美评价”适宜作为审美的非量化判断标准,审美价值的高低不影响作品独创性的判定,“审美共通感”能够强化审美判断的公信力。

Aesthetics can act on the originality of works in specific ways and aesthetic logic is the inherent logic of copyright law.Aesthetics can be used as a way to interpret the personality element,the individuality element and the creativity element in the originality of works.It can be used as the prerequisite to judge the originality of artistic works and set up an“external filtering mechanism”for the originality of works.And it can be used as a way to realize the typification of the expression of originality of works and set up an“internal classification mechanism”for the originality of works,and then provide guidance for the definition of the legal nature of works'type conversion,the determination of works'originality against the background of the openness of works'types,and the selection of judgment methods of copyright infringement.Aesthetics is the non-quantitative evaluation factor in the judgment of the originality of works.“Whether aesthetic evaluation can be carried out”is appropriate as the non-quantitative judgment standard of aesthetics.The level of aesthetic value does not affect the judgment of originality,and “aesthetic synaesthesia”can strengthen the credibility of an aesthetic judgment.
