摘要

著作权法合理使用制度在法经济学上的正当性在于市场失灵，主要表现为交易成本过高和正外部性无法有效地内部化。从表面上看，谷歌为构建其数字图书馆，未经授权扫描他人作品的行为构成著作权侵权。然而，谷歌扫描他人图书的行为面临着著作权市场上交易成本过高和正外部性难以有效地内部化的市场失灵。由于市场无法完成作品资源的优化配置，谷歌的行为宜认定为合理使用，以充分释放网络技术的能量，造福于社会公众。%The legitimacy of law and economics of fair use system in copyright law is market failure, mainly assumes for transaction costs too high and positive externality unable to effectively internalization. On the surface, for the construction of the dig- ital library, Google Unauthorized scanning works of others constitutes copyright infringement. However, Google scan others books facing market failure of transaction costs too high and positive externality cannot be effectively internalization in the copyright mar- ket. Since the market can't complete the works of optimal allocation of resources, Google's behavior should be identified as fair use, in order to release the energy of the network technology, better service to the public.
