    内容提要：分析我国各地法院判决的涉体育赛事节目侵权案件，可以发现案件当事人、法官对体育赛事节目的性质及保护方法方面存在着不同观点。成文法的滞后性与经济发展模式创新性之间的紧张关系，是导致观点分歧的根本原因。体育产业作为我国国民经济新的快速增长点和盗播网络直播节目行为的频发所带来的危害，要求我国著作权法赋予体育赛事节目的权利人控制网络直播行为的专有权利。由于立法具有缓慢性，可通过最高人民法院制定司法解释或指导案例的方式，将具有独创性的体育赛事节目认定为视听作品，或者扩张录像制作者权的保护范围，从而使体育赛事节目权利人有权控制网络实时转播行为。在最高人民法院出台司法解释或指导案例之前，各地法院可按照著作权法解释的规则，妥当裁判涉体育赛事节目侵权案件。

    关 键 词：体育赛事节目   著作权   作品   制品   转播权

    Abstract: After analyzing judgments of different courts on infringement cases involving sports events programs, we can find different views of the case parties and the judges on the nature and the protection methods of the programs. The fundamental cause of the different opinions lies in the tension between the hysteresis quality of the statute law and the innovation of the economic development mode. As sports industry is a newly fast growing part of national economy in China and the piracy of live webcast of sports events programs frequently occurs, the copyright law of our country should give the rights holders of the sports events programs an exclusive right to control the live webcast behavior. Since the legislation has the nature of hysteresis, the Supreme People’s court should develop a judicial interpretation or guiding cases to identify the original sports events programs as audiovisual works and to give copyright owner the exclusive right to control the live webcast behavior. Before the Supreme People’s Court issues such a judicial interpretation or guiding cases, the court can judge the cases involving sports events programs according to the interpretation rules of the copyright law.
