摘　　要：考察"个人消费设备安全研究"的立法例,旨在透析美国禁止规避技术措施例外制度如何平衡软件著作权人利益与消费者日益增长的软件安全担忧之间的冲突。通过分析合理使用四要素、不利影响、法定因素三个博弈焦点,借助"新三要素说"深度剖析该条款内含的法律规则,可知规避技术措施进行善意的软件安全研究,规避主体应为设备的所有者或使用者,规避客体仅限于面向消费者的电子设备、个人汽车及嵌入式医疗设备。该条款在平衡版权权利人与版权作品消费者之间利益关系、推动对个人消费设备安全性能的研究,抑制科技发展进程中版权权利的扩张对公有领域利益的挤占等方面对整个科技行业影响深远,但其在研究成果披露规则方面的缺失,仍给其现实运行带来局限。This paper studies the legislation of research on software security of consumer electronics.In the United States,the exemptions of prohibition on circumvention of technological measures aim at balancing the conflict between the interests of software copyright owners and the growing security concerns by consumers.Through game analysis,with due consideration of the four factors of fair use,adverse effect on research and statutory consideration,plus the“new three essential factors”,the legal points of view contained in the new provision are analyzed in-depth.When carrying out good-faith software security research,the act of circumvention should be done by the owner of the device,and circumvention is limited to consumer electronics,personal automobiles and implanted medical devices.This provision has profound effect on the whole technology industry by keeping the balance between the interests of copyright owners and consumers.While promoting research on software security of consumer electronics,the legislation restrains the expansion of copyright and safeguards the public interests along the process of scientific and technological development.However,the lack of disclosure clauses for research findings will still bring limitations to practical operation.
