论侵犯著作权的行政责任

On Administrative Responsibilities for Copyright Infringement

《著作权法》及其相关法规对版权侵权的行政处罚主体和承担行政责任的版权侵权构成要件作了明确规定。依照法律、法规的规定,只有著作权行政管理部门和海关才能对版权侵权行为行使行政处罚权,其中,海关只对涉及侵权复制品进出口的行为行使行政处罚权。一般说来,误导公众的侵权行为和破坏市场经济秩序的侵权行为是应当承担行政责任的侵权行为。

According to the Copyright Law and related regulations in China, only the copyright administration department and the Customs have power of administrative penalty for copyright infringement. Moreover, the Customs merely exercise power of administrative penalty for infringement that involves export and import, while the infringement that misleads the public or is detrimental to the market economy order is of administrative penalty nature. Thus, it is legally ungrounded that some administrative department of industry and commerce imposes administrative penalty on the computer software terminal user. 
