摘要
數位時代的來臨，相較於以往，著作數量有了大幅的成長，亦使得著作可以透過網路，快速、簡便地散布到更遠的地方，也增加了被利用的機會。換言之，這也代表著作權人及利用人的數量也有顯著的成長。此現象導致著作權人難以掌握其著作在各地被利用的情形，無法收取其應得的使用報酬。換句話說，著作權人個別管理的能力有其極限，因此，乃催生出著作權集體管理制度。 在現代，著作權集體管理制度運行的順暢、成熟與否，是落實著作權保護之重要指標。藉由此制度之運作，增加取得授權之便利性，降低授權成本，讓利用人得以簡單地合法利用著作；另一方面，著作權人之著作權利也得到保障及落實；更重要的是，能達到著作權法促進國家文化發展之立法目的。 我國著作權集體管理制度之發展已逾二十年，現存的五個著作權集體管理團體，分別管理音樂、錄音及視聽著作，同一著作類型有數團體並存，係採多元制。惟我國運行多元制之結果，已與著作權集體管理制度應具備之預期效果漸行漸遠，其主因在於管理同類著作之集體管理團體過多，使利用人仍須分別向各家集體管理團體洽談授權，降低授權成本之效果有限，亦造成各團體規模不足，影響其營運效率。 鑒於現制所產生之問題，本文建議應改採單一制，並大膽提出單一跨類型著作權集體管理團體之發想，亦即以唯一一家集體管理團體來管理所有著作類型，配合適當之配套措施，降低該團體濫用獨占地位之風險，期能使我國之著作權集體管理制度漸漸步入正軌。

After entering the digital generation, the quantity of creation increase dramatically and creation can been utilized and accessed more easily and rapidly by internet. In other word, it represent that the number of both creators and users rising significantly, too. It's very difficult to monitor that how the creation be utilized and who share or use it, due to the above situation. And this make the creators can't earn the royalty he deserve properly. Personal controllability has it’s limitation cause Copyright Collective Management come out. In the modern era, the ease of the execution of Copyright Collective Management, and the maturity of Copyright Collective Management, is the key indicator of how well the copyright are protected. The execution of Copyright Collective Management facilitate the ease of accessing copyright materials, lower the cost of copyright, and allow people to easily access and use the creations legally. On the other hand, copyright owners’ rights have also been protected and enforced. More importantly, the enforcement of Copyright Collective Management will promote the national cultural advancement which was the key purpose of the enactment of the Copyright Law. Copyright Collective Management in Taiwan is pluralism and have developed over twenty years. There are five copyright collective management organizations nowadays for managing the music, recording and multimedia creations. Due to the pluralism, the consequent is truly far away from the exception of Copyright Collective Management. It is mainly caused by there are too many copyright collective management organizations for the same type creations, people still need to negotiate the license of copyright with each different organizations. Further more, it increases the cost of managing copyright and reduce the scale of the organization. Finally it deteriorates the efficiency of copyright collective management organizations. In view of the issues above, the essay suggest we should adopt the unitary system, and further proposes the opinion, uni-cross-type-copyright collective management organization. It means that only one unique copyright collective management organization manage all types of creation with adequate supporting measures for preventing the abuse of monopoly. I hope this system could improve Copyright Collective Management and gradually recover to standard in Taiwan.
