這樣算侵權(quán)嗎？

俗話說(shuō)，天下文章一大抄，就看你會(huì)抄不會(huì)抄。等等，別被騙了！版權(quán)陷阱那么多，一不小心你就會(huì)成為侵權(quán)者。為了以防萬(wàn)一，還是先搞清楚這些關(guān)于版權(quán)的真假傳言吧！

1. Copyright can protect my ideas.

Copyright applies to a recorded work， it cannot apply to something as intangible1） as an idea. Within certain fields （such as inventions）， it may be possible to apply for a patent2）.

Because copyright applies to the actual recorded work—documents， music， artwork， etc.， if a competitor used your copyright work， （i.e. copied or adapted your promotional literature or stole content from your website to promote their own product）， this would be an infringement3） and you could certainly take action. But there is little you can do to prevent someone else creating their own work based on a similar idea as long as they are not copying your work to do so.

2. I can copyright a name or title.

Copyright laws are actually very restrictive， and do not apply to items such as names and titles that may be duplicated4） coincidentally5）， or that may be legitimately used in unrelated instances.

From a copyright perspective， there is no reason why two works cannot have the same title. As long as the content of works themselves are not copied or adapted， no infringement has occurred. But if the name was a trademark， or if it could be proved that that use of the title misleads or confuses the public， then there can be issues.

1. 版權(quán)可以保護(hù)想法。

版權(quán)用于保護(hù)被記錄下來(lái)的作品，不用于保護(hù)像想法這種無(wú)形的東西。在某些領(lǐng)域（例如發(fā)明創(chuàng)造），版權(quán)有可能用于保護(hù)專利。

由于版權(quán)適用于實(shí)際記錄下來(lái)的作品，如文獻(xiàn)、音樂(lè)、藝術(shù)作品等，若有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手使用了你的版權(quán)作品，比如照搬或改編了你的宣傳資料，或從你的網(wǎng)站竊取內(nèi)容，用以推銷他們自己的產(chǎn)品，那么這就是侵權(quán)行為，你當(dāng)然可以采取行動(dòng)。但只要?jiǎng)e人在這樣做時(shí)沒(méi)有抄襲你的作品，那你幾乎沒(méi)辦法阻止別人基于與你相似的想法創(chuàng)作屬于自己的作品。

2. 我可以用版權(quán)保護(hù)名稱或標(biāo)題。

事實(shí)上，版權(quán)法規(guī)十分局限，而且不適用于保護(hù)諸如名稱和標(biāo)題之類的條目，這類條目有可能由于巧合而雷同，也可能合法地運(yùn)用到無(wú)關(guān)的事例上。

從版權(quán)的角度來(lái)看，兩部作品沒(méi)理由不能擁有相同的標(biāo)題。只要作品內(nèi)容本身不是抄襲或改編的，就不存在侵權(quán)行為。但如果該名稱屬于商標(biāo)，或者有證據(jù)能夠證明該名稱的使用誤導(dǎo)或迷惑了公眾，那么就可能有問(wèn)題了。

3. Everything on the Internet is in the "public domain" and free to use.

This highlights a common misunderstanding about what is meant by "public domain" when referring to copyright work. A work will fall into the public domain once copyright expires6）， this will typically be many years after the author&apos；s death. While work published on the Internet may be publicly accessible， it is certainly not in the public domain.

4. Anything without a copyright notice is not protected.

Copyright will apply whether there is a copyright notice or not. Having said this， it is still certainly worth placing a copyright notice on your work. A copyright notice reminds others that copyright exists， and may therefore help to deter7） infringement.

5. If I change someone else&apos；s work I can claim it as my own.

The act of copying or adapting someone else&apos；s work is a restricted act. Any adaptation will be legally regarded as a derived work； so if you simply adapt the work of others， it will still be their work， and they have every right to object you if publish such a work when they have not given you permission to do so. They are also entitled8） to reclaim any money you make from selling their work.

6. It&apos；s OK to use copy or publish other people&apos；s work if I don&apos；t make any money out of it.

No， except in specific circumstances permitted under fair use9） rules， any copying or publication without the consent of the copyright owner is an infringement， and you could face legal action.

3. 網(wǎng)上的東西都屬于“公有領(lǐng)域”，可以自由使用。

這顯示出當(dāng)“公有領(lǐng)域”應(yīng)用在版權(quán)作品上時(shí)，人們對(duì)這一術(shù)語(yǔ)的普遍誤解。一部作品在版權(quán)過(guò)期后會(huì)進(jìn)入公有領(lǐng)域，這通常發(fā)生在作者去世許多年后。而在網(wǎng)上發(fā)表的作品雖說(shuō)可能是人人都可以獲取閱讀的，但肯定不屬于“公有領(lǐng)域”。

4. 沒(méi)有版權(quán)聲明的作品

不在保護(hù)范圍之內(nèi)。

無(wú)論是否有版權(quán)聲明，都會(huì)獲得版權(quán)保護(hù)。雖說(shuō)如此，但在你的作品上刊登一條版權(quán)聲明無(wú)疑還是很值得的。版權(quán)聲明能夠提醒他人版權(quán)的存在，因此可能會(huì)有助于阻止侵權(quán)行為。

5. 假如我修改了他人的作品，

我就可以把改后作品據(jù)為己有。

抄襲或改編他人作品是一種很受限制的行為。任何改編作品都會(huì)被法律認(rèn)為是衍生作品，因此如果你只是簡(jiǎn)單地將他人的作品進(jìn)行了改編，那么改編后的作品仍屬于他人，他們擁有絕對(duì)的權(quán)利反對(duì)你未經(jīng)他們?cè)S可就發(fā)表這樣的作品。而且他們還有資格向你索取因銷售其作品而獲得的所有報(bào)酬。

6. 只要我不用于營(yíng)利，

就可以復(fù)制或發(fā)表他人的作品。

不是這樣的，除了在基于合理使用原則的特定情形下，任何不經(jīng)版權(quán)所有人許可就復(fù)制或發(fā)表其作品的行為都屬于侵權(quán)，你可能會(huì)面臨法律制裁。
