合理使用规则在网络音乐领域的确立与适用

著作权的实质在于法律赋予著作权人对其作品的合法垄断。建立合理使用制度其理论依据在于利益平衡考量,即创作者、传播者、使用者的个人利益与社会公众利益的基本平衡。而对于网络音乐下载是否收费的问题,归根到底是市场行为,受市场规律的影响,应由网络服务提供商和音乐作品著作权利人来共同决定。我国知识产权法学界应当深入研究国外相关理论和判例,细化我国《著作权法》的"合理使用"规则,让其真正成为一柄利器,为我国文化界形成百花齐放、百家争鸣的氛围做出应有的贡献。

Establishment and Application of Rule of Rational Use in Cyber Music

Substantively, copyright empowers copyright owners with legal monopoly of their productions. Proper use of copyright can strike a sound balance over the interests between copyright owners, distributors and users and the public. When it comes to paying for download-ing cyber music, web service provider and copyright owner are in a position to jointly make the decision as it is a market-driven behavior fundamentally. The academic community of IPR in China should make a careful study of related foreign theories and cases and refine a more detailed rule of rational use of the Copyright Law of China into an edged tool to contribute to the flourishing cultural atmosphere.
