Technological Protection Measures and Fair Use Doctorine of Copyright Regarding the DTV Broadcast Flag

[[abstract]]本文以美國數位電視防盜拷廣播標記所引發的爭議為開端，以做為本論文之研究基礎。隨著數位電視的發展，數位電視訊號是否應嵌入「防盜拷廣播標記」（Broadcast Flag）分別獲得相關團體與技術產業贊成與反對的分歧看法。為了保護數位著作內容，數位影音業者紛紛採用適當的科技保護措施，本文藉由世界智慧財產權組織相關條約（WCT及WPPT）、美國數位千禧年著作權法（Digital Millennium Copyright Act，DMCA）、以及歐盟指令與衍生的相關判決，比較分析我國於2004年通過之著作權法防盜拷措施規定，對於著作之流通與接觸帶來之衝擊。 另外，從合理使用的基礎架構探討數位內容使用權的合理界線，並思考反規避條款之規範是否過度保障著作權人之權益，從而對公眾正當接觸、使用著作的機會產生何等負面的影響。而數位電視收視者是否能抗辯數位電視節目內容之錄製為合理使用，值得探討。 本文試圖藉由Sony案之「時間轉換」（Time Shift）原則、MP3隨身聽的「空間移轉」（Space Shift）原則以及網路影音檔案分享等相關合理使用案例，做一分析。再就數位電視內容的錄製和使用與Sony案時間轉換原則之間的關係，探討數位電視使用者對於節目內容的合理使用空間。最後，提出建議以期作為將來數位電視業者針對數位電視內容錄製之對策參考。[[abstract]]In contrast with anolog television digital television (DTV) is more flexible and efficient Most countries are planning to terminate the TV broadcast via anolog signal by year 2010 and then it will come to the DTV era The controversial broadcast flag embedded in digital signal has been discussed over the past few years Approvers and opponents have their distinct points of view about broadcast flag To protect digital content various technological protection measures (TPM) have been developed and so has the broadcast flag to prohibit the DTV content from being recorded and further distributed without the consent or licensed by the copyright holders “Digital TV Broadcast Flag” as a TPM however to some degree limits the user’s digital rights of access to copyrighted work Therefore the DTV consumers may wonder is there any possible argument that they can claim to fairly use the content of DTV programs This study attempts to apply the “Time Shift” principle of Sony Betbamex to DTV recording and examines whether DTV users can claim fair use doctrine as they make use of the content of DTV programs Hopefully the alternative strategy suggested in this study would be taken into consideraition before the DTV industries overall adopt TPM to avoid copyright infringement
