Study on Indirect Tort Liability of E-Commerce Platforms

通过分析电商平台经营主体角色定位的演化，适时完善电商平台的规制范式。在规制平台间接侵权方面，不应过分拘泥于已然僵化适用的“通知–删除”规则，应当回归一般性的过错侵权框架，将“通知–删除”规则作为辅助性工具。同时在现有法律框架内鼓励平台自治，以针对性、灵活性的方式有效处理平台内变化多样的间接侵权方式。By analyzing the evolution of the role of e-commerce platform operators, the regulatory paradigm of e-commerce platforms should be improved in due course. In terms of regulating indirect infringement on platforms, the “notice-to-delete” rule should not be too rigidly applied, and should be returned to the general framework of fault-based infringement, with the “notice-to-delete” rule as a supplementary tool. At the same time, platform autonomy should be encouraged within the existing legal framework, so as to effectively deal with the diverse forms of indirect infringement on platforms in a targeted and flexible manner.
