摘要

「世界智慧財產權組織（WORLD INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ORGANIZATION）」於1996年通過「世界智慧財產權組織著作權條約（WIPO COPYRIGHT TREATY）」，其中第11條即要求各締約國訂適當的法律保護和有效的法律救濟方式，對抗對於科技保護措施之規避行為。為履行WIPO之著作權條約之義務，各國陸續於其國內法新增有關於科技保護措施之規定，台灣亦於2004年通過新修正之著作權法，並稱之為「防盜拷措施」。我國仿效美國之立法模式包含該措施之定義、反規避條款與反流通條款，但如此的規定卻衝擊到原有為符合公共利益、維護教育學術文化發展、保障知覺障礙者、保存檔案……等理由所劃出的著作權限制。尤其對於電腦程式，更是衝擊到原本維持軟體相容性，及保障使用者正常操作電腦的利益等重大公共政策。本文經由分析科技保護措施之技術、立法史、定義、法律保護與例外，和電腦程式著作原有之保護與限制，探討若以電腦程式著作作為科技保護措施，於新法下將產生的規範落差，該落差將對公共利益產生何種影響，並提出建議改進的方向，希望此能化解權利人與使用人間的對立，促進公共利益。

"WIPO"(World Intellectual Property Organization) in 1996 approved the "WCT"(WIPO Copyright Treaty. Article 11 of the WCT requires that contracting parties shall provide adequate legal protection and effective legal remedies against the circumvention of effective technological measures. To fulfill the WIPO Copyright Treaty's obligations, States continue its domestic law on the new technological protection measures. Taiwan is also adoption of the new amended Copyright Law in the 2004, and denominates "Copy-Guard Measures". Taiwan follows the United States legislation model including definitions of the measures, the anti-circumvention provisions and the anti-trafficking provisions. Nevertheless, such provisions had impacted the original copyright restrictions which enacted for consistent with the public interest, maintaining education, academic and cultural development, protection of visual or hearing Impairments, archivists and etc. Especially for the computer program, the provisions had a major impact on original public policies that maintain the interoperability between computer software and protect computer users performing the regular operation. Through analysis of technologies, international legislative history, definitions, legal protection and exceptions of technological protection measures, and analysis of protections and exceptions of computer program works, this thesis will explore the normative gap under the new law if we take a computer program works as a technology protection measures. This thesis will also explain the gap has what effect on the public interest with lawmaking suggestion. To resolve the conflicts between rightholders and users and to improve public interest is ultimate goal of this study.
