Does reprinting infringe copyright
Article 33, paragraph 2, of my country’s Copyright Law stipulates that “after the work is published, , except where the copyright owner declares that no reprinting or excerpting is allowed, other newspapers and periodicals may reprint or publish it as abstracts or materials, but remuneration shall be paid to the copyright owner in accordance with regulations." This is a regulation regarding reprinting by traditional newspapers, periodicals and media. Obviously , the "Copyright Law" applies to statutory permission for paper reprinting, that is, unless there are prohibitions, other newspapers and periodicals can reprint. However, the Copyright Law does not stipulate the reprinting of online works.
With the development of Internet technology and the abundance of online works, although web logs and blog posts have not been published and distributed by formal media, it does not mean that they are not within the meaning of the Copyright Law. As long as the works on the Internet meet the requirements of the Copyright Law, most works on the Internet are protected by copyright. So does the reprinting of works on the Internet constitute an infringement of the copyright owner?
First of all, we need to clarify the nature of the reprint. The nature of the reprint of online works and the reprint of paper media should be the same. They are both copies of the original work, and both are copies in the sense of the Copyright Law, that is, the original work is relatively stably fixed on a tangible carrier. on, and no new works will be produced. Moreover, when the author uploads the work to the network server, it also means that the publication of the work is the same as the publication of ordinary paper works in the media. If there is any difference between the reprinting of online works and paper media, it is only It can be said that the former is fixed on the hard disk of the network server, and the latter is fixed on the paper media materials. Therefore, according to the provisions of the Copyright Law, reprinting without permission may infringe copyright.
In traditional media, after the work is published, unless the copyright owner declares that it is not allowed to be reprinted or excerpted, other newspapers and periodicals may reprint or publish it as abstracts or materials, but they must be in accordance with the Provide for the payment of remuneration to copyright owners.
