著作权商业化维权背景下的司法应对——以罗伊视效动漫公司著作权维权系列案为视角

Judicial Response under the Background of Commercialization and Protection of Copyright—From the Perspective of Roi Visual Co., Ltd.’s Copyright Protection Series Cases

自我国经济不断平稳发展,著作权人维权意识日益提高,诉诸法院的著作权案件也迅猛增长,大范围的商业维权案也日益增多。在著作权商业维权中,出现了较多同案不同判的现象。本文通过对罗伊视效著作权批量维权诉讼系列案进行深入研究,发现法院在认定合法来源抗辩以及被告赔偿额出现了较多困境。本文认为合法来源的证明标准应当以高度盖然性为标准,不宜苛求被告过高的审查注意义务,只要能说明侵权物品的来源、支付了合理对价即可成立合法来源抗辩。对于判赔额度来说,应在穷尽其他判赔规则之后才适用法定赔偿。

With the continuous and stable development of China’s economy, the awareness of copyright owners in safeguarding their rights is increasing day by day. The number of copyright cases seeking legal action in the courts is also rapidly increasing, and a large number of commercial rights protection cases are also increasing. In the commercial protection of copyright, there have been many phenomena of different judgments in the same case. This article conducts in-depth research on the series of lawsuits related to the bulk protection of Roi Visual Co., Ltd.’s copyright, and finds that the court has encountered many difficulties in identifying legitimate sources of defense and compensating the defendant. This article believes that the proof standard for legitimate sources should be based on a high degree of probability, and it is not advisable to impose excessive review and attention obligations on the defendant. As long as the source of the infringing item can be explained and reasonable consideration has been paid, a legitimate source defense can be established. For the compensation limit, statutory compensation should only be applied after exhausting other com-pensation rules.
