初探風險刑法在我國的實踐──從ezPeer案和威旭案出發

A rudimental exploration of the practice of “Risikostrafrecht” in Taiwan:A view from analyzing the ezPeer decision and the Weblisher decision

本文在考察國內四宗P2P業者之判決內容後，聚焦於ezPeer案和威旭案兩件判決的論理過程，發現此二判決中所採用的「客觀歸責理論」及「間接正犯」概念似乎有違刑法傳統的基本特質和要求，如：罪刑法定原則、法益保護機能等等。在此懷疑之下，本文回溯刑法犯罪論體系的歷史流變，嘗試耙梳刑法傳統的核心思想，並藉此尋找刑法犯罪論體系的原型。再者，關於著作權法第七章罰則之定性，一般咸認其屬「行政刑法」無疑。然由於近代刑法有擴大行政刑法之趨勢，而著作權法第七章罰則之相關規定經過歷年來的修法也有嚴苛化的傾向，符合學者所謂「風險刑法」的特徵；本文期望透過刑事政策的抉擇，讓此種「風險刑法」之實踐能夠獲得緩和。

After examining the four P2P-related decisions in Taiwan, this article focuses on and provides an analysis of the demonstration in the Taiwan Shih-lin District Court’s ezPeer decision and the Taiwan Ban-ciao District Court’s Weblisher decision. Part II discovers that the conceptions adopted in that two decisions might have violated the fundamental principles of traditional criminal law, e.g. nulla poena sine lege, and protection of legal interests. Under such suspect, Part III is to track the history of the system of criminal theory, and attempts to find out the archetype of the three-leveled system of criminal theory. Moreover, the Chapter VII of Copyright Act is generally classified as administrative criminal law. Yet, in Part IV, in consideration of the expansion of administrative criminal law and the severization of the amendments to the Chapter VII of Copyright Act, which answers to the so-called “Risikostrafrecht”, the author wishes the phenomenon to be modified by choosing proper criminal policy.
