网络游戏直播的著作权法规制
Regulation of Copyright Law for the Online Game Live Broadcast

我国的网络游戏直播行业作为新兴发展潜力巨大的文化产业，网络游戏直播市场获利颇丰，其中网络游戏的直播的著作权是最重要的市场盈利的因素，从而引发了各种著作权的权利纠纷。网络游戏直播画面是否构成著作权法上的作品、若构成作品则其应该定性为何种作品类型与其著作权归属、以及直播游戏是否构成合理使用是学术界以及司法实践中一直以来存有争议的问题。根据《著作权法》的规定，若网络游戏直播画面具有独创性并且能够以一定形式表现，则构成视听作品，同时著作权人的权利应落入广播权范围内进行保护，在一定情况下可以辅之用《反不正当竞争法》保护著作权人的权利。若网络游戏直播产业的著作权法的规制得当，对网络直播行业整体的业态的健康和相关法律问题的解决有重要的影响。
