【摘要】：新的商业模式总会带来知识产权保护的新问题，随着互联网开放平台的兴起，版权的战火已从互联网蔓延至移动互联网时代甚至有愈演愈烈的趋势，现有的版权制度对移动互联网内容保护仍处于灰色地带，新型网络环境对传统的著作权制度带来了不小的冲击。所谓开放平台，指网络服务商提供一个基本的服务，通过开放API，使得第三方开发者得以通过运用和组装其接口以及其他第三方服务接口产生新的应用，并且使得该应用能够统一运行在这个平台之上，我们将这种网络服务模式称做开放平台。开放平台主要分为应用型开放平台和服务型开放平台，本文所指的开放平台主要是应用型开放平台，如为我们所熟悉的苹果公司的APP Store，谷歌公司的Android Store。在开放平台业务模式下，出现的版权侵权涉及到网络服务提供商（平台方）、客户端软件提供商、传统作者、终端用户四方，侵权类型复杂。平台方并不直接参与应用的开发与设计。应用开发者独立完成客户端软件开发并将应用上传至开发平台供用户使用。由于可能涉及到侵权内容，平台方会收到很多关于客户端应用软件的知识产权侵权投诉。这些投诉涉及到版权等知识产权保护问题，对其是否侵权的判断难度非一般影视内容版权侵权的判断所能比拟。要判定是否侵权首先要确定客户端软件服务商的法律地位。服务商作为类似中介的中间人，仅提供平台服务供第三方软件开发者上传客户端软件，若发生侵权，对其法律地位的确定关系到其侵权责任的承担。其次通过分析开放平台的运行、盈利模式及国内外的相关案例可知，眼下，互联网企业纷纷推出开放平台后都遇到这样的困扰：一旦平台中出现含有盗版侵权内容的应用程序，，作为平台提供商，他们应该承担怎样的法律责任？是能适用“避风港原则”还是应负严格审查义务？这里的平台服务提供者的角色和避风港性质相同，但却并非典型的链接或存储服务，因此是否适用“避风港制度”存有争议。考虑到平台服务提供者是为第三方行为承担责任，本身并非侵权内容的提供者，我们的法律应该如何将其责任界定在合理的范围之内，是否应为其为其提供新的避风港?本文基于这一新兴模式下对所发生的客户端软件版权侵权模式予以分析，对于平台服务商的审查义务加以确定，意图平衡四方利益，以促进开放平台商业模式的发展。
[Abstract]:New business models always bring new problems of intellectual property protection. With the rise of open Internet platforms, the war of copyright has spread from the Internet to the era of mobile Internet. The existing copyright system is still in the grey area for the protection of mobile Internet content, and the new network environment has a great impact on the traditional copyright system. The so-called open platform means that network service providers provide a basic service. By opening API, third-party developers can generate new applications by using and assembling their interfaces and other third-party service interfaces. We call this kind of network service mode open platform. The open platform is mainly divided into application-oriented open platform and service-oriented open platform. The open platforms in this article are mainly application-oriented open platforms, such as Apple's APP Store, Google's Android Store. In the open platform business model, copyright infringement involves Internet service providers (platform side, client software provider, traditional author, end user, etc.). The infringement type is complex. The platform side is not directly involved in the development and design of the application. The application developer independently completes the client software development and uploads the application to the development platform for use by the user. The platform will receive a lot of intellectual property infringement complaints about client application software. These complaints involve intellectual property protection issues such as copyright, and the difficulty of judging whether they are infringed is more difficult than that of ordinary movie and television content copyright infringement. In order to determine whether the infringement is infringing, we must first determine the legal status of the client software service provider. The service provider, as a middleman of a similar intermediary, only provides platform services for third-party software developers to upload the client software. If infringement occurs, The determination of its legal status is related to its tort liability. Secondly, through the analysis of the operation of the open platform, the profit model and the relevant cases at home and abroad, we can see that at present, Internet companies have encountered such problems after launching open platforms: once the platform contains pirated content of applications, as a platform provider, what kind of legal liability should they bear? Is it possible to apply the "safe haven principle" or should it be subject to strict vetting obligations? The role of the platform service provider here is the same as that of the safe haven, but it is not a typical link or storage service, so the application of the "safe haven system" is controversial... considering that the platform service provider is liable for the conduct of a third party, The law itself is not the provider of infringing content, how should our law define its liability within a reasonable scope, should it provide it with a new safe haven? Based on this new model, this paper analyzes the mode of software copyright infringement on the client side, determines the review obligation of the platform service provider, and tries to balance the interests of the four parties in order to promote the development of the open platform business model.
