摘　　要："修改权"并非指作者有权修改自己的作品,而是指作者有权禁止他人未经许可修改作品。《计算机软件保护条例》中的"修改权"在性质上有别于《著作权法》中的"修改权",后者是人身权利,而前者属于"演绎权"这一经济权利。只有"代码化指令序列"才构成受保护的计算机程序,因此不修改"代码化指令序列",仅修改被"代码化指令"所调用的数据,并不构成对"修改权"的侵权。用户为改进软件性能和功能而利用"修改工具"在软件"运行过程中"对软件运行结果进行改动,不构成侵权行为。制作并提供"修改工具"者只要未提供修改后的软件,也未教唆或帮助直接侵权,其行为并不直接或间接侵犯"修改权"。The right to alter is not a right of the author to alter his/her own work,but a right to prevent others from altering the work.The nature of the right to alter provided by Regulation on Protection of Computer Software is different from the same right provided by Copyright Law.The latter is a moral right,while the former is an economic right.Computer program protected by copyrights means sequence of code-based instructions,so it is not a copyright infringement to only alter data used by instructions,instead of altering instructions.Users are allowed to alter computer software to improve its function and performance in the process of operation of the software by using any tools.Manufacturers and distributors of tools to alter computer software shall not bear direct or indirect liability,if they do not distribute altered version of software or induce or intentionally facilitate direct infringement.
