In addition to traditional forms of works, technological development has also produced copyright objects such as computer software, databases, and multimedia. Many electronic information products directly constitute the sales objects of e-commerce, thus bringing new content to intellectual property protection. In terms of computer software protection, the world has established a relatively comprehensive copyright protection legal system, which includes computer software in copyright protection and provides more timely and complete protection for software. In 1972, the Philippines was the first to list “computer programs” as one of the “literary and artistic works”.
After 1980, the United States, Hungary, Australia and India successively listed computer programs or computer software as objects of protection under copyright law. After 1985, Japan, France, Britain, Federal Germany, Chile, Dominican Republic, Singapore and other countries, as well as Taiwan and Hong Kong in my country, all listed it in the scope of copyright protection. In 1990, my country formulated the “Copyright Law”, “Computer Software Protection Regulations” and “Computer Software Registration Measures” and established that resource (information) sharing has always been the ideal and pursuit of the Internet. Therefore, the emergence of link technology is very popular. A link is a tag instruction in the hypertext markup language HTML that points to other content through a URL. The object of a link can be a website, a web page in a website, or even a component of a web page. There is no unified statement on the infringement of link technology, and the regulations of different countries vary greatly. Mainly speaking, links may infringe on the reproduction right, interpretation right and moral right of the work.
