Translated Title
Study on Copyright Protection of the Sports Event Programs
Translated Abstract
After the latest revision of the Copyright Law in 2020,the debate on the nature of live-streamed sports video is still continuing.On the basis of clarifying the basic concepts of sports events,sports event programs and live-streamed sports video,we can draw a conclusion that although the sports event itself is not a work in the sense of copyright law,it does not affect the copyright attribute of the live-streamed sports video.The identifica-tion of the attributes of the live-streamed sports video will affect the protection mode and path selection of sports events.From the perspective of the protection of sports event programs and the healthy development of sports and communication industry,we should halt the dispute on the attribute of live-streamed sports video,and reach a consensus on the protection mode and path selection of sports events programs as soon as possible,so as to pro-mote the healthy and orderly development of the industry.After June 1,2021,the copyrightable sports event pro-grams can be identified as audiovisual works.For sports event programs that do not meet the requirement of the work,we can consider using the newly revised broadcasting organization＇＇s right of the Copyright Law(2020)to protect them.As for the protection mode of anti-unfair competition for sports event programs,it is an expedient measure before the Copyright Law is amended in 2020.The limit of anti-unfair competition extension protection should be clear,and the extended protection of Anti-unfair Competition Law cannot be applied to all intellectual property fields indefinitely.
