And registrations at most, the most widely coverage is the voluntary registration work, but the copyright law of our country, no relevant provisions in the regulations on the implementation of the copyright law involves the work of voluntary registration, at present the main work is based on the work of voluntary registration trial measures "(hereinafter referred to as the" method "), "method" is the national copyright administration published in 1994 and take effect on January 1,1995. According to the "method" regulation, from 1995 to carry out the work of voluntary registration work in China, now the work has been carried out for more than 20 years,20 years has survived two revised the Copyright Act is still to work do not make voluntary registration, allows the voluntary registration work lacks law basis, the legal effect is not very clear, so the public works do not understand the necessity of voluntary registration and role, at the same time because of its emphasis on "voluntarily", result in practice registration has been ignored, embarrassing state authority by the public in question. As a important basis of voluntary registration currently works work, "method" in the past 20 years has been to remove not only "pilot" hat, its only 16 have also can't play a role of guidance to practical work, some of the problems in the practice of "method" no involved, need to be; Some problems are involved, but the rules are detailed, need further perfect; Some rules itself has defects, need to change; Even some rules have been changed, other normative documents can sav "method" role is verv limited in practice at present, and the resulting work voluntary registration legal effect is not clear, a series of problems such as program chaos.
