On the evening of February 24th, 65438, Song Xiaobao discussed the art of calligraphy with painters Sun Hongwei and Ren Gang. Song Xiaobao is full of energy and practices calligraphy and writing seriously. I saw him spread out Xuan paper on a big table first, then holding a brush in his hand, pressing the table with one hand and writing casually with the other, and finished a masterpiece in less than 10 minutes. Sun Hongwei and Ren Gang applauded Song Xiaobao's exquisite and elegant calligraphy art.
Song Xiaobao practiced calligraphy, and his expression was elegant and bookish, without any funny appearance on the stage. The word "wish" he wrote on the spot is reverie. At the same time, he said that not long ago, a friend took his own words to a public welfare auction and sold it for 80,000 yuan.
Copyright protection of calligraphy works
In China's copyright law, there is no separate provision on the infringement of calligraphy works, but it is classified as a form of artistic works. Article 4 (8) of the Regulations for the Implementation of Copyright Law classifies calligraphy works as a form of art works, that is, art works refer to plane or three-dimensional plastic art works with aesthetic significance, such as painting, calligraphy, sculpture and so on. Different from other works, works of art require aesthetic significance, and its functional value lies in conveying visual feelings. In real life, works of art usually refer to paintings, sculptures and other works; In eastern countries, calligraphy has also become the object of protection of works of art. Like other works, originality, as the basis of the construction of copyright system, is an essential element for all works to be protected by copyright law.
Generally speaking, there are two criteria to determine the originality of a work. The standard of objectivism is to judge the originality of a work by its own, that is, the result of creative behavior and the existing form of the work, regardless of the creative subject and process. According to the objectivism standard, the original judgment is generally tested by "distinguishable change". In other words, if the intellectual achievement reflects the difference from other works, the law will recognize this change with the author's personal seal and give it copyright protection. The original value of calligraphy works is embodied in its "symbol" and "structure" itself. Therefore, the identification of the originality of calligraphy works must also be closely combined with its forms of expression. Specifically, its considerations include: the consideration of layout structure; The application of writing skills; Grasp the ink color, and so on. As long as the defendant's works reflect the author's special judgment, choice and trade-off, the possibility of infringement can be weakened. In this sense, for calligraphy works, imitation, reference, copying and so on. All belong to a kind of independent creation, not reproduction. In other words, the creation of calligraphy works is a combination of art and technology. As long as the work is independently completed by the author, it will inevitably reflect its original characteristics, no matter how small this characteristic is.
