USTR Pushing Excessive SOPA-Style Liability In China
On the basis of the JCCT commitment to develop existing judicial interpretation stating that the facilitatecounterfeit line will severally liable for such breach, China announced that the Supreme People's Court issued a judicial interpretation of the liability of Internet intermediaries before the end of 2012.
SOPA As we while he was still there, using the liability for simpleis extremely problematic, and goes far, far, far beyond anything in current law. Tons of useful technologies can facilitate the offense. In fact, historically, almost all major technological innovation that helped
facilitation
grow the entertainment industry has been accused of "facilitating" infringement: the turntable, pianist, radio, cable television, the photocopier, the VCR, digital video recorder, MP3 player and YouTube ... each and every one of them was accused of facilitating the offense. This is partly because SOPA was so disturbing. But instead of moving away from that language in the United States are pushing the same language in its trade with China. As explained Schruers, extension of vicarious liability to include "facilitation" has huge problems:
For good cause, the liability side of the existing legislation ... does not extend to the provision - is necessary to know the other, fault or a direct financial benefit. Company makes a pirate piracy questionable utility to provide electricity to the pirate - and indeed, the electricity consumption of additional benefits. We do not penalize utilities piracy committed by their clients, however, since its inception, has been wisely secondary liability limited to exclude the application of such scanning.
The term seems particularly inappropriate in relation to the commitments made by China on Internet policy. In a broad sense, "facilitating" can encapsulate any website or web service that allows users to freely communicate information. Given the ambiguity of the term, China might interpret the word in general to participate in self-censorship, not only for the crimes of violation of intellectual property, but also for other "illegal" activities in China too. If the concerns of censorship were sufficiently problematic in the United States, which should be at least as problematic in China.
