规制云计算传播行为:出租权抑或信息网络传播权

摘要:云计算技术的发展带来了著作权法适用的新问题。通过云计算利用作品的行为与出租行为具有相似性,但出租权系作为发行权一部分或子权利而存在的,选择出租权规制云计算传播行为,即是选择以发行权体系进行规制。中国已选择了以向公众传播权体系规制交互式网络传播行为的逻辑。云计算传播行为应被包含在交互式网络传播行为之内,因此选择发行权体系进行规制是与既有逻辑相矛盾的,云计算传播行为仍应以信息网络传播权进行规制。

Regulation on Communication through Cloud Computing:the Right of Lease or the Right of Communication through Network

Abstract:The development of cloud computing has brought new challenges to the enforcement of copyright law.Providing works through cloud computing has some similarities with leasing works,but the right of lease is not appropriate to regulate the former act.The right of lease plays a role as a part of right of distribution or as a subsidiary right of it.If the act of providing works through cloud computing is regulated under the right of lease,it is substantially regulated under the system of right of distribution.China has chosen the system of right of communication to the public to regulate interactive communication of work through network.Consequently,it is contradictory to regulate the act of providing works through cloud computing under the system of right of distribution,as providing works through cloud computing has little differences from providing works through network.The act of providing works through cloud computing should be regulated under the right of communication through information network.

1云计算传播行为引发的著作权法问题
信息传播技术的革新,往往给著作权制度带来剧烈冲击。正因为包括著作权在内的知识产权体系是规制人们行为模式的一种权利[1],当行为随技术发展而变化时,制度的调整往往不可避免。
云计算技术的出现即给著作权制度带来了一次剧烈的冲击[2]。通过云计算技术,用户可以便捷地使用各种形式的“端”访问自己部署在云端的数据和应用,或者访问和使用别人提供的数据和应用,只要按需使用,按使用付费[3]。美国国家标准和技术研究院(NIST)将现有的云计算服务模式分为三类:SaaS(软件即服务)、PaaS(平台即服务)、IaaS(基础设施即服务)[4],这些服务模式剧烈地冲击了传统的作品数字化使用的链条。……
