摘要
我国著作权法上一般形式的损害赔偿或法定赔偿虽然在补偿权利人损失方面起到了基础作用,但赔偿金额通常低于实际损失,且在互联网时代难以起到惩罚性的效用也是事实,惩罚性功能还依赖于惩罚性赔偿实现。以英、美、加、德、法、日、韩七国的损害赔偿制度为研究对象,分析这些国家对“惩罚性的”赔偿的司法态度和适用情况。再结合我国《著作权法》第五十四条的规定,文章指出了我国惩罚性赔偿制度在倍数标准、适用要件、举证责任方面的特点及改进方向,并建议借鉴域外经验,进一步完善惩罚性赔偿制度,以增强对侵权人侵权行为的威慑力,保护权利人的合法权益。
Under China’s Copyright Law,general forms of damages or statutory damages have played a fundamental role in compensating rights holders for their losses.However,the compensation amounts are often lower than the actual losses incurred,and in the internet era,it is also true that they fail to serve a punitive function effectively.The punitive effect must therefore rely on the implementation of punitive damages.Focusing on the damage compensation systems of seven countries—the UK,the US,Canada,Germany,France,Japan,and South Korea—this paper analyzes judicial attitudes and applications of"Punitive"damages.In light of Article 54 of China’s Copyright Law,the paper identifies the characteristics and areas for improvement in China’s punitive damages system,including the multiplier standard,application criteria,and burden of proof.Drawing from international experiences,the paper proposes enhancements to China’s punitive damages system to strengthen deterrence against infringement and better protect the legitimate rights of copyright holders.
