- Abstract
In the Internet information age, the works of individuals have a more convenient and effective way of dissemination, but their copyrights are also more susceptible to infringement. As a major Internet country with 1.011 billion Internet users, China has so far not had a law that specifically stipulates how to deal with online infringements. It is only an act that includes online piracy in the crime of copyright infringement. The benchmark is also the United States, which has an extreme number of netizens, but has already promulgated relevant special laws. Therefore, in order to better provide more professional legal support for copyright owners, China urgently needs to promulgate a special network copyright law. This article uses two research methods, case study and comparative research, to compare the legal systems of China and the United States and explore how China formulates a special law on Internet piracy. The following conclusions are drawn that due to the lack of identification standards, the ambiguity of law enforcement entities, and the differences in the setting of legal responsibilities, China has not clearly defined online infringements in existing laws, and there is no common law that specifically combats online piracy. Therefore, such problems are suggested to be solved in three ways: improving the legislative technique, clarifying the basic right attributes of copyright, and enriching the basis of judicial review.
