As for works in the traditional sense, the creators of each component of the work are relatively easy to distinguish, and the ownership of the work is relatively clear. In the network environment, a large number of works created using computers have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, especially works created using multimedia technology. Most of them are deformations and adaptations of previous works. New works are constantly decomposed and adapted to form newer works. Even ordinary network enthusiasts can easily use computer software to re-create and re-disseminate other people’s works.
In such a highly information-based society, “adaptation culture” has risen, and it has become increasingly difficult to specifically distinguish which part was created by someone. Copyright “is impossible and unreasonable to restore to an individual, so the copyright system itself breeds the possibility of change.” In this context, it will be very difficult to determine the ownership of the copyright of each part. However, my country believes that even in this context, distinguishing the ownership of copyright is not a thing of the past, because a large number of individual works such as music, literature, and art will continue to appear, and the law should still give full protection to the interests of creators. Moreover, the right to adapt and protect the integrity of works protected by the traditional copyright system should be more fully protected in the Internet era, and the behavior of arbitrarily adapting and tampering with other people’s works without permission should be clearly prohibited by law.
