我国软件作品“保护作品完整权”概念之证伪

The Falsification of the Concept of “Right of Integrity” for Software Works in China

我国《著作权法》和《计算机软件保护条例》关于软件作品是否享有保护作品完整权未给出明确答案,学界和实践中对此问题的态度截然不同。此概念的真伪会对我国软件作品的保护水平等一系列问题产生影响。从法律效力和比较法角度对概念进行的证立尝试因论证前提错误或法律环境的差异等问题而无法成立。软件作品因其实用性、延展性、集体性等特点而无法享有保护作品完整权。

China’s Copyright Law and the Regulations on the Protection of Computer Software do not give a clear answer on whether software works enjoy the right of integrity, and the attitudes on this issue are very different in academia and practice. The authenticity of this concept will have an impact on a series of issues such as the level of protection of software works in China. Attempts to justify the concept from the viewpoint of legal validity and comparative law have failed due to the wrong premise of the argument or the difference of legal environment. Software works do not enjoy the right of integrity because of their utility, extensibility, and collective nature.
