UNTANGLING A COMPLEX MEDIA SYSTEM

This article provides empirical insights into how one online service – Twitter – was used for political purposes during three separate election campaigns in Sweden, Denmark and Norway, specifically how Twitter users, with hyperlinks, connect with other channels for political communication. Methodologically, the study employs three large sets of data on Twitter use tagged as relevant for each of the election campaigns, covering a one-month period. The approach allows for an untangling of the complex interconnections between novel online services, mainstream media, official political party websites, public information, individual blogs and social network sites. By moving beyond a study merely of the type of websites linked to, to also include classification of the actors publishing the content linked to, the article provides insights into the actual use by politicians, interest groups as well as grassroots activists of diverse Web genres.     

超链接侵权的法律规制

超链接 (hyperlinks)是一种在INTERNET上获取信息的工具 ,它只是提供一个计算机能看懂的文件地址 ,并没有对被链接的信息做任何形式的操作 ,因而不构成复制、发行和演绎侵权 ,尽管它侵犯了公开传播权 ,却属法定许可。根据商标法 ,超链接将他人的商品贴上自己的商标 ,构成了反向假冒 ,同时会削弱驰名商标的显著性或区分性 ,也构成了商标注水。由反不正当竞争法来完成规制超链接侵权的使命更为妥当更为合理。目前有必要先采取一些治标之法 ,如允许参考性链接等
