Research On Identification Standard Of Deep Link Copyright Infringement

As an Internet technology,deep link is widely used in various aggregation platforms,live programs and other fields.The word "deep link",as a "borrowed product",originally only referred to the hyperlink linking secondary web pages,the content of works,etc.With the in-depth discussion on it,the current deep link includes the framed link,its meaning is close to "providing the hyperlink of infringing content".Based on the analysis of technical points in form,server standard determines that it does not constitute the infringement of information network transmission right,so that link setters are exempt from responsibility to a certain extent.However,the link setter uses the work to make profits through the link setting behavior,breaks the copyright owner’s plan for the use of the work,and damages the interests of copyright owner in essence.Therefore,a lot of new criteria of tort determination are put forward in the judicial circle and academic circle.The diversity and difference of standards lead to the phenomenon of different factors of consideration,different judgments of the same case and different standards of recognition in the judicial practice of deep links.In order to sort out the existing theories on the regulation of deep linking behavior,many standards have been put forward,the essence of which is to interpret the deep linking behavior from different aspects through functionalist analysis.However,only holding the functionalist standard will lead to increased judicial uncertainty.Through the theoretical retrospection of the initial act of providing works and the act of providing works on the basis of the existing laws,the definition of the division between the act of providing works and the act of providing network services aims to exclude the "basic" act of providing network services,and the key to distinguish the two should return to the legal requirements of "interactive acquisition of works".As long as the deep link behavior satisfies the accessibility of information network communication right,it should be included in the category of information network communication right.The "new user perception standard" is proposed by integrating the "directness" of user perception standard with the objectivity and legal nature of providing standard,and further identifying the direct infringement of deep link behavior,realizing the unification of the form and function of applicable standard.In addition,the introduction of a more flexible copyright licensing system to maximize the dissemination and utilization of works may ease the conflict between the Internet industry and the copyright industry.
