Abstract:Compared with traditional libraries, the construction of libraries in the digital age has aggravated the difficulty of striking a balance between copyright protection and public interests, representing another challenge for the development of libraries. After systematically sorting out the library’s alleged copyright infringement cases, it is not difficult to find that the library's behavior implementation and defenses have significant typological characteristics, which makes it necessary to prevent copyright infringements that may occur in libraries in the digital age. Based on this, to reasonably avoid the risk of the library being sued for copyright infringement, in the future, the library should fully conclude a copyright license contract with the copyright owner, and optimize the link provided in the external digital reading service, and in-depth implementation of the “notification-deletion” rule, in order to promote the library to maximize its functions based on achieving sound development to meet people’s needs for a better life.
