The Dilemma and the Way Out of Copyright in Controlled Digital Lending System of Public Library in China

在我国现行著作权法规则下,公共图书馆数字化馆藏作品并向借阅者提供作品数字化复制件的行为涉嫌侵犯作品复制权和信息网络传播权。通过考察域外争议,文章发现在我国现行著作权法理念指引下,合理使用制度可为受控数字借阅制度辩护,但较好的做法仍是在未来修法中将其纳入合理使用范围。研究认为公共图书馆在践行受控数字借阅制度时,应制定明确的操作规范并严格限制借阅者操作权限,尽量使其效果与传统线下借阅模式趋近,以避免对著作权人造成不合理影响。

Under the current copyright law rules in China,the behavior of public library providing digital copies of works to bor rowers is suspected of infringing rightholder’s reproduction right and information network communication right.By examining the disputes outside the region,the article finds that under the guidance of the current copyright law concept in China,fair use system could defend the controlled digital lending system,but the better practice is still to include it in the scope of fair use in future revision.The study believes that when practicing the controlled digital lending system,public library should formulate clear operating norms and strictly limit the operating authority of borrowers,trying to make it closer to the traditional offline lending mode,so as to avoid unreasonable influence on copyright owners.
