Abstract

Deep linking is a form of web link, which connects to the content of another webpage but the users cannot tell the resource of the content while viewing those content. Therefore, deep linking is often regarded as an infringement of copyright. However, there is no specific regulations in Chinese criminal law to regulate deep linking. Thus, it is necessary to identify whether a deep link is an infringement or not and set up criteria for the identification. In this essay, the author will analyse the current difficulties in determining criminal liability of deep link in China. Furthermore, the author will explain the causes for the difficulties mentioned above. Then the author will research some cases regarding deep link to get the knowledge of the judicial practice. At the end of the essay, the author will propose a new model to determine the criminal liability of deep link, where the criteria would be set up to determining the criminal with parameters and the types of webpages.
