Abstract Internet is one of the most important inventions of the twentieth century. Not solely a new media, internet also deeply involved multiple aspects of human life. New ways of providing information, crime, communication patterns, and even trade are just some of the examples how internet alters our lives. As a good case in point, the appearance of internet digital music had revolutionized the way we contact with music. It had threaten the tradition music market, and make up a new issue of copyright violation debates. In April, 2000, National Cheng-Kung University happened a MP3 event that is a typical argument about internet and copyright violation. There are two opposite opinions noted, one attitude recognized the event as already violating the copyright, whereas the other point of view was that it is still in the scope of reasonable application. The issue of violating music copyright by the internet has become an unavoidable international problem, and will become more and more common in the future. Therefore, it is very important to understand what kind of new copyright subjects had evolved in the internet music, and how to adequately apply the obligations of copyright to protect the benefits of both the author and the audience. This study includes six chapters. The major issue will focus on internet digital music, its copyright, the exceptions, and the violation conditions. The first chapter introduces the background information and general concept about internet and copyright. The second chapter discusses the topic of internet digital music, its specificity, and how the internet has changed the pattern of music transportation. Then, the third chapter scopes the recognition of copyright reproduction and transportation defined by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the United States of America, and how this definition has influenced the internet music and its utilization. The forth chapter further discusses the exception of internet music copyright protection. What is reasonable fair use and compulsory license is explored. The copyright rules in Taiwan is greatly affected by USA and international treaties, thus Berne Convention, Rome Convention, Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), and the law in USA are inspected and reviewed. The fifth chapter concentrates on the copyright and its violation in different cases of the internet music application programs, web stations, and hardware. Detail investigation and debate of the MP3 event in National Cheng-Kung University is also included. The last chapter summarizes the above discussion of internet copyright and provides suggestions for modifying the related laws in Taiwan.

Actividad formativa equivalente a tesis (magíster en derecho con mención en contratación comparada e internacional) / En los últimos años, diversos pronunciamientos jurisprudenciales norteamericanos recaído en el caso Oracle American Inc. v. Google Inc., han llamado la atención de la industria tecnológica, sobre sí el código declarativo y las SSO de las interfaces de aplicación (Application Programming Interface, en sus siglas en inglés APIs) empleadas para el desarrollo del sistema operativo Android, en su condición de elementos distintos al código fuente, también estaban protegidas por el copyright. Una decisión que apoyó esta postura de que sí estaban protegidas hizo que un Juzgado de Distrito conociera sobre el fair use (uso justo en español), o no de las interfaces. Este caso falló a favor de Google declarando que la implementación del código declarativo y sus secuencias, estructura y organización de las 37 APIs de Java, propiedad de Oracle efectivamente fue un uso justo, siendo clave dentro de la interoperabilidad de los programas informáticos y de la innovación.

Uppsatsen studerar den svenska musikbranschens behov av ett allmänt upphovsrättsligt undantag, hur väl den amerikanska principen Fair Use Doctrine lämpar sig som utgångspunkt för ett sådant undantag och vilka anpassningar principen och de svenska upphovsrättsliga undantagen skulle behöva vid en implementering. Förändringar i tekniska förutsättningar har resulterat i större risk för upphovsrättsliga intrång och ett behov av en mer flexibel upphovsrätt. Samtidigt har lagstiftarens åtgärder resulterat i en svåröverskådlig lagstiftning. Uppsatsen bedömer att det finns ett behov av ett allmänt upphovsrättsligt undantag likt Fair Use Doctrine i svensk upphovsrätt och att principen är lämplig såsom utgångspunkt för utformandet av undantaget. Som ett resultat skulle ett allmänt upphovsrättsligt undantag bistå med den flexibilitet som behövs, men även om många upphovsrättsliga principer som utformats i svensk praxis kan lämnas orörda behöver både principen och den svenska undantagskatalogen anpassas innan ett allmänt upphovsrättsligt undantag likt Fair Use Doctrine implementeras i svensk upphovsrätt. Det svenska rättssystemet uppvisar tendenser till både acceptans av öppna normer och en ovilja att skapa praxis gällande de upphovsrättsliga undantagen, men bör kunna utforma och tillämpa ett allmänt upphovsrättsligt undantag. Uppsatsen konstaterar att det allmänna undantaget bör införas som en generalklausul i 2 kap. URL och att regeringen bör studera denna möjlighet i ett framtida utredningsbetänkande.

Les exceptions au droit d’auteur sont une série de situations où il est retranché aux droits exclusifs de l’auteur, alors même que leur définition devrait conduire ceux-ci à s’appliquer. Les exceptions révèlent la philosophie d’un système de droit d’auteur ou de copyright. Le droit d’auteur français prévoit un ensemble fermé d’exceptions spécifiques, énumérées de façon expresse et exhaustive par la loi. Elles sont d’interprétation stricte par le juge. La présente thèse s’intéresse à ce système français d’exceptions, à ses imperfections et s’attache à rechercher de potentiels axes d’amélioration. Alors que la copie privée concentre souvent l’attention des commentateurs, il semble utile de s’intéresser à l’autre versant des exceptions, les exceptions à usage public qui, parce qu’elles réalisent la communication de l’œuvre au public, portent une atteinte assez directe au monopole. Le législateur français est appelé, lorsqu’il entend créer une exception, à exercer une « balance des intérêts » assez peu étudiée par la doctrine française. La première partie de cette thèse est consacrée à cette balance des intérêts législative, et à l’écart entre ce qu’elle devrait être, idéalement, et ce que les derniers travaux législatifs laissent paraître de sa réalité. Le second temps de l’étude se concentre sur la mise en œuvre des exceptions. Leur application classique, d’abord, qui fait appel à la fonction d’interprétation des textes par le juge dans ce qu’elle a de plus traditionnel. Mais également, ensuite, une nouvelle forme de mise en œuvre, qui a fait irruption sous l’ère numérique : la régulation des exceptions. Ce phénomène englobe la garantie des exceptions contre les mesures techniques de protection, ainsi que l’application du « test des trois étapes » par le juge. / Exceptions to copyright (or author’s right) are a set of situations which cut off into the exclusive rights of the author, whereas their definition should lead these to apply. Exceptions reveal the philosophy of a system of author’s right or copyright. French “droit d’auteur” provides for a closed set of purpose-specific exceptions, expressly and exhaustively listed in the law. They are construed strictly by the judge. The present thesis studies this French system of exceptions, its imperfections and looks for potential areas of improvement. While private copying usually concentrates the observers’ attention and comments, it seems useful to insist upon the other side of exceptions, the exceptions for public use, which, since they carry out the communication of the work to the public, encroach quite directly the authors’ privilege. When he envisions to create an exception, the French legislator is expected to exercise a “balance of interests” rarely studied by French doctrine. The first part of this thesis is devoted to this legislative balance of interests, and to the gap existing between what it should ideally be, and what the latest legislative works let appear of its reality. The second part of the study focuses on the implementation of exceptions. Firstly, their classical application, which conveys the function of texts interpretation by the judge in its most traditional features. Secondly, a new form of implementation, which appeared with the digital world: the regulation of exceptions. This phenomenon encompasses the safeguard of exceptions against protection of technological measures, as well as the application of the “three-step-test” by the judge.
