【摘要】 链接是互联网的重要技术,是互联网信息相互联系的一座桥梁。尤其是深度链接,它把分散在各个网站的信息资料聚合在一个网站上,真正实现了“一站到底”浏览、下载信息资料。但是,深度链接技术的提供者并没有经过权利人许可,将链接作品呈现在自己的网站上或者相关界面上,供网络用户浏览并下载,不仅扩大了作品提供者范围、攫取了权利人的网络流量,还打破了深度链接相关方的利益平衡,对传统的著作权形成了挑战。针对深度链接侵权认定问题,国内外知名学者从不同的角度对其进行研究分析,提出了不同的认定标准来平衡权利人利益和技术发展之间的关系。但是,关于深度链接侵权该如何去认定,司法界、理论界还存在着相当大的争议。因此,通过对深度链接侵权认定的分析,找出合适的认定标准,对平衡权利人利益和技术发展具有重要的意义。我国法律并没有明确规定深度链接行为是否属于侵犯他人信息网络传播权的行为,这就造成了理论界、司法界争议所在,即深度链接行为是网络服务行为还是内容提供行为。为了解决此争议,学者先后提出过不同的标准:按照服务器标准,如果向公众开放的网络服务器中上传作品,那么就属于作品提供行为,就构成直接侵权。因此,深度链接行为不属于作品提供行为,不构成直接侵权,可以在设链者主观有过错的情况下追究间接侵权责任。但该标准对于链接合法授权的作品,是无法利用共同侵权责任理论来追究其责任的;用户感知标准则是以网络用户的主观感受来认定是否属于作品提供行为,近而确定是否侵犯信息网络传播权。若设链者明确标识作品来源,网络用户并没有对作品提供者发生误认,那么设链者的行为就不属于作品提供行为,也就不会构成侵权;实质呈现标准强调的是著作权人对作品提供者身份的控制,只要设链者在其控制的页面或者界面完整地呈现了被链接作品,就属于作品提供行为,设链者行为就构成直接侵权。该标准克服了前两种标准无法追究设链者侵权责任的不足,是目前对深度链接行为侵权认定合适的标准。文章通过对服务器标准不认定侵权、用户感知标准认定侵权,以及构成不正当竞争的典型案例进行了详细的介绍和分析,试图说明随着网络技术的发展,法院在认定深度链接是否侵犯信息网络传播权越来越困难,依据服务器标准、用户感知标准已经无法应对在网络环境下新出现的问题,无法平衡权利人利益和技术发展之间的关系。对于这些问题,可以引入实质呈现标准,以此标准来确定深度链接是否侵权。同时也发挥指导案例的作用,使权利人的利益得到充分保障。深度链接侵权已经不单单是技术问题,更是关乎到法律问题,作为网络技术发展的必然产物,寻求保护权利人利益和技术发展均衡点才是最终的解决办法。
【Abstract】 Links are an important technology of the Internet and a bridge between Internet information.In particular,the deep link,which aggregates the information scattered on each website on a website,truly realizes the “one stop to the bottom” browsing and downloading information materials.However,the provider of the deep link technology does not have the permission of the right holder to present the link work on its own website or related interface for the network users to browse and download,not only taking the right person’s network traffic,but also breaking the deep link.The balance of interests of related parties poses a challenge to traditional copyright.In view of the problem of deep link infringement identification,well-known scholars at home and abroad have studied and analyzed it from different angles and proposed different identification standards to balance the relationship between rights holders and technology development.However,there is still considerable controversy in the judicial and theoretical circles on how to determine the infringement of deep links.Therefore,through the analysis of the in-depth link infringement determination,finding the appropriate identification criteria is of great significance for balancing the interests of the right holders and the development of technology.Our country’s law does not explicitly stipulate whether deep link behavior is an act of infringing on the right of others to disseminate information networks.This has caused disputes in the theoretical and judicial circles,that is,whether the deep link behavior is a network service behavior or a content provision behavior.In order to resolve this controversy,scholars have proposed different standards: according to the server standard,if the work is uploaded to the public open web server,then it belongs to the work providing behavior,which constitutes direct infringement.Therefore,the deep link behavior does not belong to the act of providing works,does not constitute direct infringement,and can investigate the indirect infringement liability if the setter subjectively has a fault.However,the standard cannot use the theory of joint tort liability to pursue its responsibility for the works legally authorized by the link;the user perception criterion is based on the subjective feelings of the network users to determine whether it belongs to the offering behavior of the work,and to determine whether to infringe the information network communication.right.If the chain owner clearly identifies the source of the work and the network user does not misidentify the provider of the work,then the behavior of the chain owner does not belong to the act of providing the work,and it does not constitute infringement;the substantive presentation standard emphasizes that the copyright owner The control of the identity of the work provider,as long as the chain owner presents the linked work in its controlled page or interface,it belongs to the act of providing the work,and the act of setting up the chain constitutes direct infringement.This standard overcomes the inadequacy of the first two standards and cannot pursue the infringement liability of the chain-makers.It is the most appropriate standard for infringement of deep-link behavior.This paper introduces and analyzes the typical cases of infringement of server standards,infringement of user perception standards,and typical cases of unfair competition,trying to explain whether the courts are deciding whether deep links infringe information networks with the development of network technology.The right to disseminate is becoming more and more difficult.According to server standards and user perception standards,it is unable to cope with emerging problems in the network environment and cannot balance the relationship between rights holders and technology development.For these issues,this paper suggests introducing a substantive presentation standard that is used to determine whether a deep link is infringing.At the same time,it also plays the role of guiding cases,so that the interests of rights holders are fully guaranteed.Deep link infringement is not only a technical issue,but also a legal issue.As an inevitable outcome of the development of network technology,seeking to protect the interests of rights holders and the balance of technological development is the ultimate solution.
