我国网络音乐市场的现实困境与法律制度完善

The Plight of China’s Online Music Market and Its Legal and Policy Reform

政府对音乐盗版问题管控的加强与企业的巨大资金投入有效促进了我国网络音乐市场的繁荣与发展。然而,国内各大网络音乐服务商对版权资源的激烈争夺乃至垄断使我国音乐市场陷入新的困境。目前,我国现有的著作权法体系明显滞后于技术的发展与网络音乐市场的需要,进一步加深了国内网络音乐市场的竞争乱象。良好的市场秩序需要完善的制度设计,音乐作品因其自身天然具有的特殊性,更需要著作权法给予特别的关注。我国亟须改造、完善现行著作权法中有关音乐作品与录音制品的规定,抑制信息网络环境下权利人对音乐版权专有许可的滥用,完善音乐作品的法定许可制度,加强著作权集体管理组织的影响力,以实现音乐创作者与社会公益间的利益平衡,为我国音乐产业的健康发展与社会文化繁荣营造公平、健康、有序的优质环境。

Owing to the government’s endeavors on anti-piracy and intensive investment from deep-pocket industry players,China now has one of the most active and diversified online music markets in the world.However,China’s music market is in a new predicament due to the fierce competition and malicious monopoly on copyright resources launched by the music platforms.The current copyright law system which lags behind the internet technology development and new market demands has deepened such adverse effects.Music has its own particularity and thus needs more targeted copyright law system in order to balance the interests between the copyright holders and the public interest and this need becomes more imperative in the fast-changing internet era.China’s music market requires a legal and policy reform to suppress abuse of exclusive rights on musical works and sound recordings,improve the statutory licensing system and strengthen the power of collective management organizations.Only in this way,can a fair and sustainable music market be built in China.
