摘　　要：近日,音乐喷泉案再度引发了对著作权客体扩张问题的关注。尽管各国在著作权客体立法方面大都留有一定的弹性空间,但法院在法律适用时仍然频频面临困境。许多创作不在著作权法明确列举的作品范围之内,如音乐喷泉、烟花秀、灯花秀、香水香味等,但都有是否将这些客体纳入著作权法保护范围的讨论。这些将现代科技与思想情感表达融为一体的创作对立法、司法和行政执法都提出了挑战。要回答著作权客体扩张是否适当这一问题,就必须以著作权法的体系构建为视角,综合考虑经济、文化、环境等因素,以确保扩张结果符合著作权法在价值、目标、利益平衡等方面的要求。Currently,a copyright infringement case with respect to music water fountain display has raised concern over theissue of copyright extension.Although the copyright laws of the most countries remain room for extending protection for newsubject matters,courts still usually face challenges.Some intellectual products being not expressly enumerated in the subjectmatter list,such as water fountain display,firework display,lighting display and perfumes,are seeking copyright protection.Asfor such creation integrating human expression with modern technology,it is difficult for legislative,judicial and administrativeauthorities to decide whether it should be categorized into the copyright subject matter.To respond this issue,it is suggested tostart from the point of the whole copyright system,take economic,cultural,environmental factors into consideration,and therebyachieve the purposes,values and the balance of the interests under the copyright law.
