Copyright Law Protection of Sports Event Broadcasting——An Analysis Centered on the Right of Broadcasting Organizations
For the protection of sports event broadcasting,it is customary to identify sports events pro-grams as copyrighted works in judicial practice.However,this practice relies more on the criterion of"originality"and somewhat violates the duality of"copyright-neighboring rights",which complicates its application in regulating piracy in the dissemination of sports events.In contrast,the right of broadcasting organizations,serving as an intrinsic regulatory institutional instrument against piracy,can achieve better protection of dissemination behaviors.However,with the popularity of online broadcasting,webcasting organizations have emerged as significant subjects for sports events broadcasting.Since they are not broadcasting organizations,the right of broadcast organizations fails to provide comprehensive protection for sports event broadcasting.In view of this,with reference to international consensus and legislative ex-periences,it is advisable to expand the protection scope of the right of broadcasting organizations to in-clude webcasting organizations within the provisions of Article 47 of The Copyright Law,with the right of broadcasting organizations as foundational protection mechanism combined with other protective measures,so as to ensure a comprehensive protection of the rights and interests in sports event broadcasting.
