Chris 說到「在有些國家,您開店鋪,在裡面放音樂 CD (甚至只是開著收音機!)都要付版權費。」事實上,香港一樣有同樣既牌照要申請,只不過會落實去做既少之又少,完全當冇呢樣野存在。如果有人做/做過政府,個部門時不時又會攪下活動,應該會發現個部門一定會花數千,甚至上萬元買個年牌,確保可以合法公開播歌。

係度我唔討論版權法係咪霸道,我只知香港人唔多認識版權法,當他們聽到做某某事原來係觸犯左版權法既時候,通常就會覺得好無理。但版權法唔係今日至有,以前商家 (尤其香港) 賺到錢,唔捉、隻眼開隻眼閉其實係優待;到近年資訊發達,侵權行為愈來愈倡狂,想執番正竟然就俾人話番轉頭,無賴既係侵權者至真。
要知道作品有咩權限,睇版權聲明就一清二楚。到而家仲有人問公開播放有冇問題,好明顯就係冇睇過,或者想當版權聲明冇到。
當大家都集中討論音樂和影片既版權問題時,有冇人會留意最傳統的媒體 - 書籍呢?其實,書都有版權,冇留意一樣隨時會犯法。
中港台三地出版書籍既版權聲明一向都好簡陋,求求其其印個 ©,或加句「版權所有 翻印必究」就算。舊一點的甚至會乜都冇,驚死你唔印咁款。但係如果係西方出版既書,就會發現版權法唔只限翻印咁簡單。
最普遍既 (copied from McManus, I. C. (2004). Right hand, left hand : the origins of asymmetry in brains, bodies, atoms, and cultures. London: Phoenix Press.)︰
All right reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted, in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise, without the prior permission of the copyright owner.
容許書評引句既 (copied from Diamond, J. M. (2006). The third chimpanzee : the evolution and future of the human animal. New York, NY: HarperCollins.)︰
All right reserved. No part of this book may be used or reproduced in any manner whatsoever without written permission except in the case of brief quotations embodied in critical articles and reviews.
最嚴既 (copied from Diamond, J. M. (2006). Collapse: how societies choose to fail or survive. London: Penguin.)
All right reserved. Except in the United States of America, this book is sold subject to the condition that it shall not, by way of trade or otherwise, be lent, re-sold, hire out, or otherwise circulated without the publisher’s prior consent in any form of binding or cover other than that in which it is published and without a similar condition including this condition being imposed on the subsequent purchaser.
看官可以留意到 Penguin 既書係唔可以係未得到同意既情況下外借、轉讓、出租或其他形式的傳閱。即是說如果你唔要本書,唯一辨法就係丟棄,而係丟棄之前都要做一番工夫,就係撕開個封面 (唔記得左版權頁使唔使)。只有咁樣做先可以排除本書俾人執到既時候,你唔係蓄意經某種途徑 (如︰垃圾堆) 傳俾另一人。
聽過好多人引圖書館做擋箭牌,以為圖書館唔受版權法規管。其實圖書館並無特權,如果大家知道圖書館每年的開支有幾驚人,就會明白有大部分都用左黎購買使用權和付版權費 (尤其係電子資料庫,如 ProQuest、LexisNexis、EbscoHost等)。而家已經算好左少少,以前 (現在仍會用,但用少左) 既 online search (如︰DIALOG、STN),費用係根據顯示格式、文件數目、用時長短、搜索資料量來計算。所以系統只容許專業參考圖書館員用,係用之前仲要係紙上模擬輸入,搵出最快捷、有效率既方法,務求減少支出,讀者要搵資料就要透過那位專業人士。即使係咁,以我手上的一個 2004 年使用 STN 既例子為例,用唔夠 5 分半鐘,收費就已經要 800 蚊美金。所以圖書館一方面鼓勵讀者使用,另一方面亦要好好留意唔好有濫用既情況發生,唔係就多多錢都唔夠俾。
