网络云端服务提供者侵犯著作权罪的刑法应对——刑法实质解释论之运用

网络云端服务提供者侵犯著作权罪具有犯罪主体新颖、犯罪方式独特、犯罪情节复杂的特点。刑法学界关于网络服务提供者是否需承担刑事责任问题以及网络中立帮助行为是否成立帮助犯问题未能达成共识，使得网络云端服务提供者侵犯著作权罪的认定面临着理论上的困境。我国关于侵犯著作权罪的刑事法律规范大多形成于网络云端技术诞生之前，网络云端技术的出现给网络侵犯著作权罪的认定带来了新问题。在侵犯著作权罪刑法规则尚未作出更新性应对之前，应当积极发挥司法的自我适应功能，对于网络云端服务提供者侵犯著作权的行为，可以基于实质解释论的立场，在不违背罪行法定原则的前提下，对“复制发行”、“以营利为目的”、“犯罪主观”等犯罪构成要件进行扩大解释。

Response of Criminal Law to the Crime of Copyright Infringement of Network Cloud Service Providers——Application of the Theory of Substantive Interpretation of Criminal Law

Crime of copyright infringement of network cloud service providers is characterized by novel subject of crime,unique style of offence and complicated circumstances of crime.No consensus has been reached in the circles of criminal law as to whether the network service providers should bear the criminal liability or whether the neutral network has contributed to the crime,which leads to a theoretical dilemma in affirming the crime.In China,the legal norm of criminal law mostly came into being before the birth network cloud technology,so new problems have appeared in affirming the crime of network copyright infringement.Since the criminal law on the crime of copyright infringement has not been updated,the self-adaptive function of the judicial system should be fully played.Based on the theory of substantive interpretation of criminal law and in accordance with the principle of legality,constitutive elements of the crime of copyright infringement,such as copied distribution,the purpose of profit-seeking,and subjective crime,etc.,should be interpreted extensively.
