混剪短视频对合理使用制度适用问题研究

On the Application of Video Mashup to Fair Use

由于互联网的不断发展,新型的作品形式得以出现,以网络短视频为例,其自出现以来就不断影响着大众的生活,但是网络短视频著作权保护同时也面临许多问题,尤其是混剪短视频是否构成侵权这一问题争议颇多。目前混剪短视频是否构成侵权的关键在于其是否适用合理使用制度,若符合合理使用制度则不构成侵权。通过研究合理使用制度的现状,然后用三步检验法(使用目的、使用程度、对权利人没有不合理的损害)以及四要素标准(使用目的、被使用作品的性质、使用的质与量、对被使用作品的潜在市场或者价值产生影响)着重对混剪短视频是否适用合理使用制度这一问题进行深入分析,仔细剖析每一个要点后得出了混剪短视频无论使用哪一种检验方法均不能构成对原片的合理使用的结论。

Due to the continuous development of the Internet,new forms of works have emerged.Taking online short video as an example,it has been affecting the life of the public since its appearance,but its copyright protection is also facing a lot of problems,especially the controversial issue of whether short video mashup constitutes infringement.At present,the key to this question lies in whether or not it is subject to fair use,and if it is,then it does not constitute infringement.After studying the current state of fair use,this paper then analyzes in depth whether faire use applies to short video mashup by adopting three-step test(purpose of use,extent of use,no unreasonable damage to the right holder)and the four-element standard(purpose of use,nature of the work used,quality and quantity of use,and impact on the potential market or value of the works used).After the carefully analyzation of every point,a conclusion is reached that no matter which test method is used for short video mashups,they do not constitute a fair use of the original video.
