短视频平台重复侵权行为适用“过滤义务”的本土化改造

Localization Transformation of “Filtering Obligations” for Repeated Infringement on Short Video Platforms

摘要: 近年来，短视频行业异军突起。然而，业态发展中，也催生了大量短视频侵权纠纷，重复侵权现象屡见不鲜，但是囿于规则的束缚，权利人的合法权益无法得到有效保护。一方面，我国赖以认定注意义务的“通知–删除”规则和红旗规则在实践中对短视频重复侵权行为遏制效果有限；另一方面，过滤义务虽能有效解决短视频重复侵权难题，却与我国本土情况缺乏匹配性。因此，坚持完善“避风港规则”为主导的注意义务认定规则，辅之以对过滤义务进行本土化改造是目前解决短视频平台中重复侵权难题的可行途径。

Abstract: In recent years, the short video industry has experienced rapid growth. However, along with its development, numerous disputes involving copyright infringement have emerged, with repeated infringements being a common occurrence. Unfortunately, due to the constraints of existing rules, the legitimate rights and interests of rights holders cannot be effectively protected. On the one hand, China’s “notice-and-takedown” rules and red flag rules, which are used to identify the duty of care, have limited effectiveness in curbing repeated infringement on short video platforms. On the other hand, although filtering obligations can effectively address the problem of repeated infringement, they lack compatibility with the local conditions in China. Therefore, it is a feasible approach to adhere to the improvement of the “safe harbor rules” as the main basis for identifying the duty of care, supplemented by the localization transformation of filtering obligations, in order to solve the problem of repeated infringement on short video platforms.
