摘要
网络游戏脱机模拟器是一种基于“泄露源码”或参照游戏画面编写而成的计算机软件,目的是在离线状态下调动客户端资源,复原网络游戏体验。其主要依托的开源协议本质是一种特殊的私法自治,开源内容的正当性应源于代码作者的有权让渡。而擅自将他人源码或者参照游戏画面编写的内容开源均已逾越了可让渡范围,涉嫌侵犯他人计算机软件著作权或游戏画面表达中的权利客体。然而,运用传统的计算机软件保护模式仅能从代码层面应对“泄露源码式”模拟器,却难以规制自主编写或反编译客户端等行为,间接造成此类模拟器在我国商业化流通的现状。鉴于此,建议从原作整体画面实质性相似与经济利益保护两方面予以考量,明确涉及网络游戏版权开源程序的侵权标准,以期加强网络游戏版权保护,保障我国网络游戏产业的健康发展。
The offline simulator of online games is a type of computer software developed based on leaked source code or reference to game visuals,with the aim of replicating the online gaming experience in offline mode.Its primary reliance on open-source licenses fundamentally constitutes a form of specialized private law autonomy,where the legitimacy of open-source content derives from the author's right of relinquishment.The unauthorized open-sourcing of content derived from others'source code or game visuals exceeds the permissible scope of relinquishment,potentially infringing upon the copyright of others'computer software or the expressive elements depicted in game screens.However,traditional computer software protection mechanisms are limited in their ability to address'leaked source codestyle'simulators solely at the code level.Consequently,regulating behaviors such as autonomous development or client decompilation becomes challenging,indirectly contributing to the commercial circulation of such simulators within China.In light of these challenges,it is recommended to consider both the substantial similarity of the original game screens and the protection of economic interests.This approach aims to establish clear infringement standards concerning open-source programs related to online game copyrights,thereby enhancing the protection of online game copyrights and fostering the healthy development of China's online gaming industry.
