【摘要】：“孤儿作品”(orphan works)在著作权领域的出现由来已久,但这一概念真正开始引起人们重视是源自2004年美国谷歌的数字图书馆计划。随着当今世界信息技术的发展,“孤儿作品”保护与利用所带来的难题已经逐见端倪,使得文化资源传播受到阻碍,不利于文化发展及社会进步。所谓“孤儿作品”,即使用者想要通过经著作权人许可的方式来利用某作品,但该作品之著作权人身份不明或无法与其联系。由于使用者通过各种方式都无法确定著作权人或者虽知道著作权人但无法与其取得联系,而限于相关法律的规定,这种情况下无法合法使用该作品,如果擅自使用作品,日后著作权人出现,使用者就可能承担诉讼风险;如果放弃使用该作品,就会导致作品的社会价值大大降低,也不利于文化的传承进而违背著作权法关于鼓励作品的传播以促进社会主义文化和科学事业的发展与繁荣的立法目的。论文的第一部分是“孤儿作品”问题的概述,主要介绍了“孤儿作品”的概念、产生的原因及其保护和利用的重要性。第二部分是各国对“孤儿作品”保护和利用制度的比较,重点介绍了美国、欧盟、加拿大、日本对于“孤儿作品”的利用制度,对各种制度进行对比和评析。第三部分是分析我国“孤儿作品”的立法现状及其几个相关问题的探讨,提出我国设立“孤儿作品”保护和利用制度的建议。
[Abstract]:"Orphan works" has a long history in the field of copyright. However, this concept has really begun to attract people's attention because of Google's digital library program in 2004. With the development of information technology in the world today, the problems of the protection and utilization of Orphan works have begun to emerge. This hinders the dissemination of cultural resources, which is not conducive to cultural development and social progress. The so-called "orphan works" means that the user wants to use a work by means of permission from the copyright owner. However, the identity of the copyright owner of the work is unknown or unable to communicate with the copyright owner. Since the user is unable to identify the copyright owner by any means or, although he knows the copyright owner but cannot obtain contact with the copyright owner, it is limited to the provisions of the relevant law, Under such circumstances, the work cannot be used legally. If the work is used without authorization, the copyright owner will appear in the future and the user may bear the risk of litigation. If the work is abandoned, the social value of the work will be greatly reduced. It is also not conducive to cultural transmission and goes against the legislative purpose of the copyright Law to encourage the dissemination of works in order to promote the development and prosperity of socialist cultural and scientific undertakings. The first part of the paper is an overview of the problem of "orphan works". This paper mainly introduces the concept of "Orphan works", the reasons for its emergence and the importance of its protection and utilization. The second part is a comparison of the protection and utilization systems of "Orphan works" in various countries, with emphasis on the United States, the European Union, Canada, the United States of America, the European Union and Canada. The third part is to analyze the legislation status of "Orphan works" and some related problems in Japan. Some suggestions are put forward to establish the protection and utilization system of Orphan works in China.
