短视频著作权的侵权认定范围及法律保护研究

Research on the Scope of Infringement Determination and Legal Protection of Short Video Copyright

摘要: 本文系统探讨了短视频著作权的法律保护问题。通过探究“算法推荐侵权内容是否构成新型帮助侵权”与“数字版权管理能否赋能短视频确权保护”两大核心议题，以期增强研究的创新性与前沿性。一方面在促进短视频健康发展的同时，另一方面有效维护著作权法律秩序。本文对短视频内容的原创性与独创性进行分析，明确直接侵权和间接侵权两种侵权方式，以此来判断某一行为是否构成合理使用还是侵权行为。同时梳理了侵权行为的法律后果，有赔偿损失和停止侵权的民事责任，行政责任，甚至刑事责任。为了保护短视频著作权，提出明确版权登记与权利归属，加强内容识别等技术保护措施。同时建立与完善平台内容审核机制，推动平台和著作权人共同合作模式，以及加强创作者接受著作权相关法律知识的培训和指导。加之优先调解和仲裁，再诉讼作为解决著作权纠纷保障的解决机制。通过完善法律制度、科学技术乃至监管机构，平台，著作权人等的共同努力，未来将会形成知识产权被尊重、受保护的良好法治状态。

Abstract: This paper systematically discusses the legal protection of short video copyright. By exploring two core issues, namely, “whether the algorithm recommends infringing content constitutes a new type of help infringement” and “whether digital rights management can empower short videos to ensure the protection of rights”, we hope to enhance the innovation and frontier of the research. On the one hand, it aims to promote the healthy development of short videos; on the other hand, it effectively maintains the legal order of copyright. This paper analyzes the originality and creativity of short video content, clarifies two types of infringement—direct infringement and indirect infringement—and thereby determines whether a certain act constitutes fair use or infringement. It also summarizes the legal consequences of infringement, including civil liabilities such as compensation for damages and injunctions, administrative liabilities, and even criminal liabilities. To protect the copyright of short videos, the paper proposes clear copyright registration and ownership determination, and strengthening technical protection measures such as content identification. At the same time, it suggests establishing and improving platform content review mechanisms, promoting a cooperative model between platforms and copyright holders, and enhancing training and guidance for creators on copyright-related legal knowledge. In addition, it recommends giving priority to mediation and arbitration, and then litigation as a safeguard mechanism for resolving copyright disputes. Through the joint efforts of improving legal systems, science and technology, as well as regulatory agencies, platforms, copyright holders, and others, a sound rule-of-law environment will be formed in the future in which intellectual property rights are respected and protected.
