摘要
再创作内容并将其公开的技术民主化推动了用户生成内容(UGC)的浪潮,产生了显著的社会和经济效益。然而,根据现行的版权法,UGC 创作者面临着两难的境地:创作者因版权侵权风险而不敢创作 UGC,版权所有者很少能从 UGC 中获得报酬,而 UGC 平台从 UGC 中获利却无需承担版权侵权责任。由于对UGC平台的监管不足或不合理,近期提出的将合理使用和强制许可延伸至UGC创作者,以及对UGC平台施加直接法律责任的建议,并不能解决UGC的困境。本研究旨在通过建议对 UGC 平台征收非剥削性 UGC 税来解决 UGC 困境。我们通过对现有建议的比较研究,证明了非剥削性 UGC 征费的必要性,并通过对其框架和执行机制的制度分析,说明了非剥削性 UGC 征费的可行性。此外,还说明了拟议征费的理由,并对可能提出的批评作出回应。该征费计划还为版权法如何应对蓬勃发展的人工智能生成内容(AIGC)提供了启发。
How to Regulate Platforms Through a Non-Exploitative User-Generated-Content Levy
The democratization of technology to re-create content and make that content publicly available has spurred a wave of user-generated content (UGC), which has produced remarkable social and economic benefits. However, under current copyright law, UGC creators face the dilemma of being deterred from creating UGC because of the risk of copyright infringement, copyright owners can rarely obtain remuneration from UGC, and UGC platforms profit from UGC without being held liable for copyright infringement. Recent proposals to extend fair use and compulsory licenses to UGC creators and impose direct liability on UGC platforms cannot solve the UGC dilemma due to the inadequate or unreasonable regulation of UGC platforms. This study aims to solve the UGC dilemma by proposing a non-exploitative UGC levy on UGC platforms. We demonstrate the necessity of the non-exploitative UGC levy by conducting a comparative study of existing proposals and illustrate the feasibility of the non-exploitative UGC levy through an institutional analysis of its framework and enforcement mechanisms. Justification of the proposed levy and responses to possible criticism are also provided. The levy scheme also provides inspiration for how copyright law can address burgeoning artificial intelligence-generated content (AIGC).
