摘　　要：由于举证难、维权成本高、司法判赔额低,著作权人的维权积极性并不高,从长远来看这将会影响社会的文化繁荣和公共福祉。惩罚性赔偿制度不但能弥补著作权人的侵权损失,更具有震慑、预防侵权行为的功能,符合国家立法和政策导向,符合司法实践,符合法经济学规律。我国2020年颁布的《民法典》和新著作权法修正案草案均引入惩罚性赔偿制度,将与现行著作权法中的法定赔偿制度形成优势互补,促进我国文化产业健康发展。Due to the difficulty to prove,the high cost in maintaining rights,and the low compensation ordered by courts,copyright owners are not very enthusiastic in safeguarding their rights,which negatively impact China’s cultural prosperity and public welfare in the long run.Punitive damages system can not only remedy copyright owner’s losses from copyright infringement but also deter and prevent the infringement behaviors.Therefore,copyright infringement punitive damages system conforms to national legislation and policy orientation,conforms to judicial practices,and conforms to the rule of the economics of law.Both China's Civil Law Code and the draft amendment to the Copyright Law introduce the punitive damages system,which can form a complementation to the statutory punitive system in current Copyright Law,to promote the healthy development of China's cultural industry.
