Research On Legal Problems Of Copyright Protection And Restriction Of 3D Printed Digital Documents

With the rapid development of economy and science and technology,3D printing technology has entered millions of households.It promotes economic growth,facilitates people's lives,but also brings many legal problems of copyright infringement.As the beginning of 3D printing technology,3D printing of digital documents determines whether 3D printing is infringement or not,and whether the generated 3D prints are infringement.Because of the importance of 3D printing digital documents,this paper discusses the disputes in copyright protection of 3D printing digital documents from two aspects: copyright protection and copyright restriction,and analyses the existing Copyright Law and related laws on the basis of continuous visits,investigations and consulting relevant cases and documents at home and abroad.In order to balance the interests of copyright owners and users of 3D printed digital documents,this paper puts forward some suggestions to promote the third revision of the Copyright Law in the light of the Copyright Law(revised draft submitted for review).On the one hand,3D printed digital documents are the object protected by Copyright Law,and the personal and property rights of various copyrights of 3D printed digital documents are the content protected by Copyright Law.Firstly,as the object of protection in Copyright Law,3D printed digital documents belong to the category of model works in current law,but the concept of "three-dimensional works" in Copyright Law(revised draft submitted for review)is more conducive to the protection of 3D digital documents.Secondly,the copyright owner of 3D printed digital documents not only enjoys the personal right of the copyright,but also has the right to claim compensation for mental damage,copyright,information network dissemination right and other copyright property rights,which can be relieved in accordance with the law when the rights are infringed.On the other hand,copyright owners of 3D printed digital documents should also be subject to the limitations of the time,region and scope of the exercise of rights of the Copyright Law as other copyright owners.Especially on the issue of the scope of the exercise of power,they should treat network service providers and network users differently,and apply the principle of safe havenand the system of reasonable use conditionally.Finally,measures are formulated to balance the interests of copyright owners,network service providers and network users by amending the Copyright Law,introducing the system of private duplication compensation,and establishing the database of3 D printed digital documents.Finally,the interests of copyright owners and users of 3D printed digital documents can be balanced and 3D printed digital documents can be promoted.The goal of printing technology development.
