| 摘 要： 近年在美国兴起的版权投机现象使版权维权诉讼成为一种挟持手段和商业模式。美国版权法中的法定赔偿规则是其最主要制度诱因，并与其他规则结合在一起，为版权投机的出现创造了便利条件。我国2014年《著作权法(修订草案送审稿)》在法定赔偿等方面的新规定，极易构成版权投机在我国滋生的制度诱因。因此，建议利用当前我国著作权修法机会对其合理规制，避免重蹈美国立法与实践的覆辙，并充分发挥激励创造的著作权制度效用。 |

| Abstract: Copyright troll which has grown rapidly in U.S. in recent years has made litigation become a business model and a means of coercion. And the statutory compensation rule in American copyright law is the greatest institutional inducement for copyright troll, which combines with other rules to create an ideal legal environment for the emergence of copyright troll. The new rules of statutory damages in Copyright Law (Revised Draft) made in 2014 are very likely to become a potential breeding ground of copyright trolls in China. Therefore, the present essay suggests that we should make use of this opportunity of amending Chinese copyright law to make rational stipulations, to avoid repeating the mistakes in American legislation and practice, and to put the institutional effect on incentivizing creativity to full play. |
