Law for the Development of the Cultural and Creative Industries - A Copyright Perspective

[[abstract]]學習科技法律以來，對著作權特別感到興趣，因為著作權是普羅大眾隨處可及的法律關係，當文化創意變成產業，著作權會有何種變化，殊值研究探討。值此文化創意產業熱烈推展之際，如果可從法律面向，協助文創工作者進入市場，甚而提升產業附加價值，可使法學研究增添實際效用。 我國文化創意產業與其他產業相較，多屬微型企業，競爭力不強，但文化差異的影響，即使是國際大型文創業者，也未必能以經濟規模，壟斷市場，這個產業頗適合國內創意人才以嶄新的想法，發展成商品或商業模式，正因此特性，政府規劃文化創意產業成為國家「黃金十年」願景所希望發展的產業方向。 文化創意產業發展法，在歷經八年餘的規劃、立法過程，終於在民國99年2月3日公布施行，從此有了制度性的推動架構，但相關子法及研究機構尚未完全齊備，產業發展的能量也未顯現，因為創意內容遭遇瓶頸，授權契約遭遇困難的情形，也屢見不鮮，益發令人覺得「文創」與「數位內容」之權利義務關係有研究之必要，此外數位內容是否具備物權特性，文化創意產業發展法設立質權登記之目的，除了促進著作權之流通、再利用，如何把著作權轉變為市場易於流通、交易的數位模式，可以使得著作數位授權更為便利、迅速，提供文創產業創造及加值所需。 現有著作權法授權的方式，除了大型影視業者外，難以管理著作授權，著作權集體管理團體「公益性社團法人」性質，又使得授權難有成效，因此著作權法修正的方向，影響文化創意產業之發展甚鉅，由文化創意產業發展法採取特別法方式加以補充，是否合宜，殊值探討，文末提出建議，希望淺學管見能達成一點點「引玉」的效用。[[abstract]]Since the beginning of learning technology law I have particularly been interested in the copyright because the copyright is closely related to the general public When the culture becomes an industry it is worth investigating how the nature of the copyright will accordingly be changed As the cultural and creative industries are being promoted enthusiastically it will help the cultural and creative workers to enter the market and may even enhance the added value of the industry by studying the law Our culture and creative industries are somewhat different from other industries In short they are mostly micro-enterprises and therefore less competitive However even large multinational entertainment industry with its large scale of economies may not necessarily be able to monopolize the market Therefore the industry is quite suitable for our country whose new creative talents and ideas can be developed into a product or business model Because of such characteristics the government has planned a national vision of "the golden decade" with the desire to promote the industry Cultural and Creative Industry Development Act after going through the legislative planning process for more than eight years has finally been enacted on February 3 1999 This Act has the institutional framework However the related regulations and research institutions have not yet been fully available; industrial development energy is not apparent either There have been not only creative content bottlenecks but also circumstances when authorizing the contract market became difficult As a result people feel it increasingly important to study the relationship between "creative legal right" and the "digital content " This paper discusses whether digital content has a property characteristic Moreover it discusses the purpose of the regulation of the guarantee right arguing that the benefit of constructing such regulation lies in facilitating the flow of authorizing copyright and providing a more convenient and faster procedure to boost the cultural and creative industries The existing copyright law except for large-scale film and television industries has difficulty managing copyright authorization The nature of the "nonprofit corporation" of the management organization makes it even more difficult to act effectively Therefore the direction of modification affects to a great deal the development of cultural and creative industries Is it appropriate to adopt a special law to supplement the current law? This needs further research This paper provides suggestions and hopefully will lead to more thorough and sophisticated discussions in the futur
