Research On The Infringement Of Network Link Behavior

The business model based on hyperlink breaks the original pattern of profit distribution and poses a series of challenges to the protection of network copyright.How to determine the legal attribute of network link and how to identify the infringement liability of link setters has always been the focus of debate.The dichotomy of "works" and "service" is the foundation of the protection of copyright in Chinese network environment.The definition of the two relates to the legal quality of network link and further affects the path of the subsequent identification of the tort liability of link providers.Based on the above problems,this paper firstly sorts out,selects and improves the judgment criteria for the infringement of the right of information network transmission,that is,the judgment criteria for the infringement of network links,and qualifies different types of network links legally.On this basis,according to different regulation paths and possible subsequent problems,it identifies the tort liability of shallow link chain providers.As well as deep link set up its infringement risk prevention are discussed and put forward suggestions.The article is divided into six chapters.The first chapter gives a brief introduction to the problem background and typical cases,and takes the determination of the legal nature of network link as the key issue.In Chapter two,the author combs and comments on the criteria that distinguish the "act of providing works" and "act of service".On this basis,the third chapter introduces and improves the theory of "transmission source" as the criterion of tort judgment,and carries on the legal characterization of different types of network links and determines the regulation path from the improved perspective of "transmission source".Chapter four,on the basis of the above,discusses the identification of the shallow link provider’s tort liability,and proposes to use the dynamic system theory to identify the link builder’s tort liability,to bridge the logical gap between the service provider’s "not bearing the obligation of prior review" and "should know the fault theory".In Chapter 5,based on the legal characterization of deep link in Chapter 3,three suggestions are put forward to deal with the infringement risk of deep link providers.Chapter six is the conclusion.In this paper,domain name carrier is proposed to identify the "transmission source",which further improves the "transmission source" theory of distinguishing "work supply" and "service supply",and has operability in practice.Under the framework of "transmission source",it is proposed to introduce dynamic system theory to solve the problem of subjective fault determination of indirect tort liability of shallow link providers,which solves the problem in judicial practice.Finally,it is proposed to introduce the "three-step testing law","Robots protocol" and broaden the statutory licensing system,so as to reduce the direct infringement risk faced by deep link providers,and find the best balance point to maintain the interests of both the right holder and the link provider,in order to facilitate the commercial innovation and development.
