摘要: 著作权法领域对于深度链接行为属性的认定倾向于采取“服务器标准”而非“用户感知标准”,由此深度链接不是提供作品的信息网络传播行为。以此为刑法解释原点,则搜索引擎深度链接行为不能单独直接以侵犯著作权罪论处。从实然层面看,在《刑法修正案(九)》之前,深度链接入罪只能考虑共犯路径,但以片面帮助犯论处存在诸多障碍;之后刑法虽新设了罪名但亦不能完全突破共犯模式下的追责障碍。从应然层面看,当前刑法应谨慎介入搜索引擎深度链接行为的规制,共犯正犯化的立法模式过于急躁冒进,将彻底抛弃技术中立的立场,打破著作权人与公众利益的平衡状态并违背刑法的谦抑性原则。

Abstract: The “server standard” rather than “user perception standard” was adopted to identify the nature of deep link behavior in terms of copyright laws. As a result, deep link is not regarded as an act of Internet-based information transmission. Starting from this view, deep link behavior of search engines cannot be directly punished for infringing upon copyrights. In fact, the accomplice theory was taken into account to criminalize it before the Amendment Ⅸ to the Criminal Law was enforced, but there are many obstacles when it is identified as a unilateral accessory crime. These responsibility barriers seem to break because of the addition of the new crime, but from the ideal perspective, the regulation of deep link behavior of search engines should be cautiously introduced into the current criminal law in that it is too rash to construct the legislative mode of accomplice perpetrators, which will completely abandon the principle of technological neutrality, break the interest balance between copyright owners and the public, and violate the modesty principle of the criminal law.

Key words: search engine, deep link, technological neutrality, accomplice perpetrator
