“套取版权类”虚假诉讼的识别与检察监督

“套取版权类”虚假诉讼系虚假诉讼在版权领域的特定表现形式,具有涉案作品独创性较低、被告以知识产权意识淡薄的中小微企业为主等特征。对此,可借助大数据对裁判文书进行分析、挖掘,融合运用“审查+调查+侦查”方式予以识别。对于“套取版权类”虚假诉讼检察监督案件的审查,要在准确认识著作权登记证书性质的基础上,重点围绕是否构成作品和著作权权利归属两个方面分析原告是否为真实的著作权人,进而认定是否系虚假诉讼。

A Study of the E-C Translation for the Modal Verbs in the Berne Convention

The Berne Convention plays a very important role in the protection of the copyright in its member states. Good Chinese translation for the Berne Convention will undoubtedly improve the implementation of it in China. One of the key factors that affect the translation of the Berne Convention is the translation for the modal verbs, because they are concerning the rights conferred to or obligations imposed on authors or countries of the Union. Based on the statistics of the modal verbs used in the Berne Convention, this paper discovers that ＂shall＂ and ＂may＂ are the most frequently used modal verbs among the ones in English language and they are translated into many types of phrases in Chinese, but not all of them are accurate or appropriate, because the expressions used in the Copyright Law of the People＇s Republic of China to indicate rights, obligations or prohibitions are not all those that ＂shall＂ or ＂may＂ are translated into. Some suggestions can be put forward to improve the current Chinese translation for ＂shall＂ or ＂may＂ in the Berne Convention.

机器人写作的身份确权与责任归属研究

人工智能创作物是否有著作权及作者身份归属等一系列法律问题引发公众关注,也挑战着现行著作权法与民法的法律逻辑。从作者身份的视角分析人类作者、机器记者与创造力的关系,可辨清著作权法的作者身份为机器生产新闻带来的意义。智能机器虽具备著作权法要求的一定程度的创造力,但仍然缺乏"心智"和人格,一旦侵权或犯错不能被法律追究和惩罚,赋予其作者身份不足以承担法律责任,也不能被著作权法激励而产出报道。在现行法律框架下机器生产新闻的作者身份应归于人类及其所在机构,但法律设计上可以考虑创设"类版权制度"来规范人工智能创作物。
