Criminal Law Protection of Copyright in Australia and Its Implications
After years of development,Australia has established a relatively comprehensive system of intellectual property criminal law protection and criminal regulation.In terms of charge determination,Australia tailors its criminal law to different intellectual property contents and behaviors of different natures,with strict and hierarchical norms,particularly highlighting the pre protection of vulnerable copyright and neighboring rights,as well as the legal protection of key areas such as large-scale commercial infringement and infringement of information network dissemination rights.In terms of penalty allocation,Australia adopts a light sentence approach,emphasizing coordination between different types of punishments and close connection between criminal and non-criminal measures.By learning from and drawing on the experience of intellectual property criminal regulation in Australia,China can improve copyright criminal governance by improving the criminal law provisions and charge setting for copyright crimes,optimizing the penalty allocation for copyright crimes,and strengthening the coordination of departmental legal norms.
