室外艺术作品营利性之再行使用——最高院《(2004)民三他字第5号答复函》之检讨

The Reuse of Profit of the Outside Artistic Works——Review of the No.5 Gist of Supreme People’s Court

我国著作权法及司法解释规定,室外公共场所艺术作品可以合理的方式和范围再行使用,最高院明确表示合理的方式和范围应包括以营利为目的的再行使用。但通过对本土案例的梳理及学理探究,将营利性再行使用认定为合理使用缺乏法律授权,与立法动因、国际惯例相悖,也逐渐为司法实践所抛弃。基于公共利益之考虑,'标志性'作品例外,同时也须对其复制模式、相似程度等予以严格限制。

The Copyright Law and the Judicial Interpretation of the Copyright Law provide that the artistic work exhibited in the outside public area can be utilized again in reasonable ways and field. And the Supreme People’s Court articulately indicates that the reasonable ways and filed shall include reuse for profit. Nevertheless,after studying the local cases and exploring the academic principles,it can be drawn that it is lack of legislative authorization to identify the reuse of profit as the fair use. It is not in accordance with the legislative intent and the international convention,meanwhile that is discarded gradually by the judicial practice. Based on the consideration of public interest,the symbolic artistic work shall be excluded. Moreover,the copying model as well as the similarity extent shall be rigidly restricted in the fair use recognition.
