Help the infringement from the tort law, the basic meaning is that directly to help others infringement should bear legal responsibility. In general, to help infringement is developed by the enterprise's product responsibility, that is, enterprises should produce or provide for their own products bear some responsibility.
Case: Sony Corp of America V. Universal City Studios, Inc
The plaintiff in 1976 in the local court v. The defendant should bear the responsibility to tort, asked the court to prohibit Sony manufacturing and sales of home video recorders. The Supreme Court, by virtue of the provisions of the Patent Law, which is similar to the Copyright Act, draws the following conclusion: The sale of the reproduction equipment, like the sale of other products, does not constitute any help as long as the product is widely used for legal and unopposed purposes Infringement. It only needs to meet the main purpose for non-infringement purposes, then the manufacturer will be free from responsibility.
(2) subrogation infringement
The concept of subrogation was first born in the case of Shapiro in 1963. In the case the defendant was the owner of a large chain store, and one of his tenants sold the infringing recordings . The Second Circuit Court of Appeals noted that the case involved was not an ordinary agent relationship. In spite of this, the court is responsible for the infringement of copyright by a third party who has not actually employed a direct infringer but who has received economic benefits from the conduct of the direct infringer.
According to the case, the chain and the tenant have a rental contract, the tenant should comply with the chain to develop all the management requirements. And according to the rental contract, the tenant shall pay 10% to 20% of the proceeds of the sale of the phonogram to the chain, indicating that the owner of the chain has received direct economic benefits from the infringing activities of others. The Shapiro case sets out two criteria for determining subrogation: one is that the subrogationhas the ability to stop the infringing activity and the other is the subrogation of the infringer from the infringing activity of others to obtain direct economic benefits.
(3) to lure infringement
Network users can copy and transmit works on the web for a short period of time. The copyright owner is now facing a huge challenge because the copyright law protects the copyright owner against the development of technology against the copyright owner.
A special example of this technology is the P2P sharing software program. In the case of Grokste, the Supreme Court applied the principle of lure to infringement from patent law , believing that torture should be committed to third party infringement when a party promotes, misleads or lures the user to infringe copyright by selling the product. Through the judgment of the case, the principle of looting in the Grokster case did not seem to have allowed the user to reduce the infringement of copyright. In order to cater to the case of the Grokster case, these software designers are only required to meet the simple market demand principle: that is no longer produce goods that can be infringing .
The court in the Grokste case in the subtle balance of scientific and technological progress and the interests of the copyright owner, because the protection of the more works, the greater the damage to the enthusiasm of scientific and technological innovation.
3 The pecific performance of internet infringement
3.1 Infringement in electronic bulletin boards
With or without a formal copyright mark, almost all of the information published on the Internet and the bulletin board is copyrighted. By the court's decision on the recent Playboy picture case and the Saijia electronic game case, we can see that the court will be more inclined to protect the interests of copyright owners .
In the case of Playboy, the defendant was George Freiner, who was the operator of the electronic bulletin board. Users of the bulletin board can browse the different areas of the bulletin board and download the high-definition "Playboy" photo to their computer. Frenner acknowledges that the photo on the bulletin board does not have the authorization or consent of Playboy. But Frya pointed out that these photos are bulletin board users themselves uploaded to the bulletin board up. "Playboy" company to copyright infringement, trademark infringement and unfair competition on Litina filed a lawsuit. After receiving the notice, Freiner immediately removed all the Playboy photos from its bulletin board and began reviewing the bulletin board to prevent the user from uploading the Playboy photo.
The United States federal Florida Central Court finally found that Freiner violated the "Playboy" company's right to copy the right to display. The court also ruled that Freiner was responsible for unfair competition. Because Frya falsely instructed and described the origin of the Playboy photo, he deleted the text of the original playboy photo, and added his own text, including his name, phone number and so on .
3.2 The infringement problem in the operation method
Bo Blue Corporation in 1987 for the first time announced its first version of Express software, the software belongs to a spreadsheet program. In the version of the fast and fast 1.0 upgrade, the company is actually copying the whole content of the 1-2-3 menu tree of Furong. Although the screen display is slightly different from the hibiscus 1-2-3, but also provides a lot of Hibiscus 1-2-3 does not have the Bo Lan function, but still allows users to use the Bo Lan program interactive process feel and Use Hibiscus 1-2-3 is the same .
In July 1990, Furong Company filed a lawsuit against Blue Company. In 1992, the Massachusetts Federal District Court ruled on the case of Blue Company to determine that the menu structure of Furong was protected by copyright law. At the same time the court also found that Blue company violated the copyright of Furong .
After the verdict was made, many computer scientists told the US First Circuit Court of Appeals that if the decision was maintained, it would have a disastrous impact on the computer software industry. The First Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed many of their views in the final judgment. The First Circuit Court withdrew the judgment of the first instance and found that Blue Blue did not infringe the copyright of Furong.
3.3 Restrictions on access to the infringement
In the case of the science church, the plaintiff sued at the heart of Knight Kom Online Services and Clemsman's computer facilities, called "alt.religion.scientology (optics. Religion. Science)" Of the newsgroups, without authorization to publish a copy of the work of Habad (founder of the Science Sect) .
Science taught that Ehrlich had more than 200 violations, 90% of which were carried out through the Twentone online network service and the Clemsund computer facility, which were stored in the two systems 3 days and weeks time. At the same time, science taught allegations that Arshi had violated the court's provisional injunction on February 26, 1995, and released eight pages of information through two defendants' systems.
In the allegations against the two defendants, the science taught that the system was not only the equipment that was issued by Alice, nor that the two companies did not warn or even cancel the service for those who violated the rules.
Clemsman and Knight Kham argued that the ban on scientific education would weaken their service function. Science taught that Clemsman had the ability to remove certain personal users from its system in order to avoid the release of offensive, disgusting and inappropriate remarks. The company further pointed out that if the ban once released, the company will have to cut off with Clemsman and his connection of about 500 users, the ban on the harm caused by Knight Kom will greatly exceed the threat of scientific education is facing damage .
4 Conclusion
The further development of digital technology and the Internet will lead to new problems in copyright protection. In the face of the rapid development of digital network technology, the traditional copyright law has been an unprecedented challenge, the creation of works in the way of change, the performance of the work in the form of changes in the way the work of moral changes in the way. For digital music, network works, network software, the traditional copyright has been unable to explain, network service providers are also different from the past publishers. Old balance is broken need to establish a new balance, the old copyright protection system is clearly unable to meet the new needs, network communication rights, technical measures, rational use of new nouns, is the product of various interest games. Obviously, this will deepen the contradiction between copyright owners, Internet operators and Internet technology developers, Internet users. US copyright law can not completely solve these contradictions, the Supreme Court will introduce new legal and judicial jurisprudence to coordinate these issues, after all, technology is to develop, the user's reasonable use of the requirements must be met, so that only Sacrifice part of the interests of copyright owners to meet the needs of reality.
