“用户创造内容(UGC)”的著作权规制

Regulation of Copyright of User Created Content (UGC)

摘要: 依托互联网的迅速发展，作品创作方式多样化，“用户创造内容”合法性问题为版权理论与实务界带来困扰。现阶段，授权许可调整“用户创造内容”失灵的原因不在于授权许可制度自身局限性，而在于未明确“用户创造内容”可以归入“合理使用”的范围，网络用户无法判断自身使用作品行为的性质。目前，进一步优化合理使用制度才是《著作权法》规制“用户创造内容”的应选路径。通过梳理“用户创造内容”的实践现状与自身特点，分析“用户创造内容”归入合理适用的可行性与范围。同时，提出修改《信息网络传播权保护条例》第六条，增设作品网络传播合理使用新情形的立法建议，为“用户创造内容”归入合理使用提供制度支持。

Abstract: Relying on the rapid development of the Internet, the creation methods of works are diversified, and the legality of “user-created content” has brought troubles to the copyright theory and prac-tice. At this stage, the reason for the failure of licensing adjustment of “user-created content” is not due to the limitations of the licensing system itself, but because it is not clear that “user-created content” can be classified as “reasonable use”, so that network users cannot judge their own use of nature of the behavior. At present, further optimizing the fair use system is the path that the Copyright Law should choose to regulate “user-created content”. By sorting out the practical status and characteristics of “user-created content”, it analyzes the feasibility and scope of “user-created content” being reasonably applicable. At the same time, it proposes to amend Article 6 of the “Regulations on the Protection of the Right to Disseminate Information Networks” to add new legislative proposals for the rational use of online dissemination of works, so as to provide institutional support for “user-created content” to be classified as fair use.
