摘　　要：根据我国刑法第217条的规定,侵犯著作权罪要求行为人主观上必须具有“营利目的”。然而,在数字版权时代到来之际,过于强调行为人主观上的营利目的,不仅徒增了司法机关在案件办理过程中的证明难度,而且极有可能放纵一些主观上不具有营利目的但客观上侵犯了著作权的行为。目前,有学者主张保留对该罪名的主观目的限定,另有学者主张可以放宽对该罪名的认定标准,并认为在网络环境下并不需要行为人具有营利的目的,但这些观点并不能为数字版权的保护提供充足的刑法规范依据。因此,通过修改刑法取消该罪名的“以营利为目的”的限定,不仅有利于减轻司法机关的证明负担、契合数字版权保护的特征,而且与国际社会的通行做法相一致,是未来针对这一问题较为妥当的解决方案。According to Article 217 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China(hereinafter referred to as the Criminal Law),the crime of infringing copyright requires that the perpetrator must have the subjective purpose of making profits.But,in the in the era of digital copyright,overemphasizing on the subjective purpose of the perpetrator not only makes it more difficult for the judiciary to prove the crime in the process of handling the case,but also is very likely to indulge some acts of copyright infringement that do not have the purpose of making profits but objectively infringe copyright.At present,some scholars advocate that the subjective purpose of this crime should be retained,while others argue that the identification standard of this crime could be relaxed and it's unnecessary for the perpetrator to have the purpose of making profits.However,these views have no sufficient support in the terms of Criminal Law for the protection of digital copyright.Therefore,through the revision of the Criminal Law,the restriction on the subjective purpose of make profits would be can celled when in determining the crime of copyright infringement.It will not only help to reduce the burden of proof by the judicial authorities and conform to the characteristics of digital copyright protection,but also be consistent with the common practice of the international community.The revision would be a more appropriate solution in the future.
