Copyright Protection of Red Culture: Taking the Red Museum as The Starting Point

Abstract

Red culture is the general term for the advanced culture formed by the Chinese Communist Party to lead the Chinese people in the process of struggle, and the Red Museum is the main carrier of red culture. However, in the background of the new era, the Red Museum is facing the dilemma of various copyright protection. The reasons can be attributed to the incomplete legislative system, the lack of special red cultural protection law, the corresponding system and mechanism, the two-rail protection system for judicial administration, which makes it difficult to achieve the balance of red culture development and protection. This article is based on the status of copyright protection of the Red Museum, analyzes the specific reasons for infringement, and proposes corresponding response strategies for the problem to help the copyright protection of the Red Museum, thereby promoting the continuous innovation of red culture. Red resources are the most precious spiritual wealth, and red blood is the source of spiritual strength for Chinese Communists in the new era. In order to inherit the red gene, many red museums will create works in their collections for a second time. However, due to the specificity of red culture itself and the influence of the historical background, the copyright protection of red museums is faced with problems such as difficulties in the identification of works, complicated attribution of works' rights, abnormal licensing process of works, blurred boundaries of fair use practice, and single choice of existing remedies. The traditional way of copyright protection has been unable to meet the needs of copyright protection of red museums, so the author puts forward new ideas for the protection of red culture from the perspective of copyright protection of red museums.
