网络环境下侵犯著作权罪主观要件废除研究

Study on the Abolition of the Subjective Elements of the Crime of Infringing Copyright in the Network Environment

摘要: 网络环境下，现行著作权刑法保护制度在主观要件方面面临两大难题：间接营利难以认定、非营利性侵权治理失灵。对于“以营利为目的”要件的去留，“废除论”学者的观点最符合网络侵权特点、顺应时代发展趋势。著作权刑事规制的现代化转型需实现二重突破：废除“以营利为目的”，消解主观要件带来的证明困境；确立“短期自由刑 + 惩罚性罚金刑 + 行业资格刑”的复合刑罚结构，构建责任形态多元化、轻缓化的刑法规制体系。

Abstract: In the network environment, the current criminal protection system for copyright faces two major difficulties in terms of subjective elements: the difficulty in identifying indirect profit-making and the failure in governing non-profit infringement. Regarding the retention or abolition of the element of “for the purpose of profit”, the viewpoint of scholars advocating the “abolition theory” is most in line with the characteristics of network infringement and conforms to the development trend of The Times. The modernization transformation of criminal regulation of copyright needs to achieve two breakthroughs: abolishing the “for the purpose of profit” to eliminate the proof dilemma caused by subjective elements; establishing a composite penalty structure of “short-term imprisonment + punitive fine + industry disqualification” to build a criminal regulation system with diversified and lenient liability forms.
