信息自由的人权属性及其法律规制——从“快播案”谈起

Freedom of Information as a Human Right and its Legal Regulation——From the Perspective of the Case of QVOD

2016年1月7日被称为'2016年互联网第一案'的'快播涉黄案'在北京市海淀区人民法院开庭审理,本次庭审所采用的网络直播形式使广大网民清晰地了解到庭审实况,精彩的庭上辩论与庞大的用户群体也大大提升了本案的社会关注度。但值得注意的是,庭审结束后,网民呼吁'快播无罪'的声音却不绝于耳,而对'快播'进行有罪认定的声音却相形见绌,抛却其中所涉及的刑法问题不谈,此种现象体现了法律背后公民对信息自由的渴望与对其'过度'限制的质疑。因此,在互联网无所不在的时代背景下,我们有必要对信息自由的属性及其法律规制进行一定学理探讨,以期构建合理的信息规制模式,进而促进公民基本权利和社会秩序的理性平衡。

With the rapid development of economic globalization and information spreading technology,people’s daily life is influenced by the diverse channels of gaining information and the proliferating quantity of information.We are enjoying the convenience and diversity of information,while facing parallel potential jeopardies.The QVOD case attached great attention due to its special character and its huge audience group,and the case also trigged an overwhelming public voice after the trial,which surely demonstrated the argument between“freedom’’and“constraint”.Behind the legal rules of this case,there was the eager of the public to pursue free information,and their questioning about“over"constraint,which thus formed the core issue of the argument:freedom of information,and constraint.
