What are the reasons for restrictions on copyright?

The purpose of copyright protection is not only to protect the legitimate rights and interests of authors and encourage their enthusiasm in creating literary, artistic and scientific works, but also to promote their works dissemination and use, thereby enriching people's spiritual and cultural life, improving people's scientific and cultural quality, and promoting economic development and the progress of human society.

The limitations of copyright mainly concern the property rights in copyright. Due to differences in their respective economic development levels, legal traditions, and copyright protection histories, various countries have inconsistent copyright restrictions. Generally speaking, countries with a high level of copyright protection have fewer copyright restrictions; countries with a higher level of copyright protection have more copyright restrictions. In accordance with the needs of my country's socio-economic and cultural development, our country's copyright law, while protecting the legitimate rights and interests of authors, restricts the rights of authors to a certain extent.

What types of restrictions on copyright are usually divided into? Broadly speaking, restrictions on property rights in copyright also include time restrictions and geographical restrictions. However, the limitations of copyright that people often talk about refer to some restrictions on the exercise of copyright, that is, under specific circumstances stipulated by the law, the use of works protected by copyright does not need to comply with certain provisions of the copyright law. It can be seen that the restrictions on copyright are actually some exceptions. The "Restrictions on Rights" section of my country's Copyright Law also provides for this. According to the provisions of copyright laws in various countries around the world, restrictions on the exercise of copyright are mainly divided into three methods: ① fair use; ② compulsory license; ③ statutory license. According to my country's specific national conditions, my country's Copyright Law mainly stipulates two restrictions on "fair use" and "statutory license".
