数字化和互联网给文化产业的权利人带来了严峻的经济挑战。面对版权侵权对其资本积累形式的威胁，版权所有者战略性地使用话语权，以试图合法化并加强其在与政府和媒体用户的数字版权辩论中的地位。在这样做的时候，他们诉诸了一般的辩护原则--关于什么是善、对和公正--这为反对和批评提供了一定的空间，因为其他团体质疑他们对这些原则的解释和用于支持这些原则的证据。在这篇文章中，我们解决了相对缺乏学术关注的话语在版权辩论中的作用，通过分析用户导向的营销活动和提交给英国政府的政策磋商。我们展示了合法性主张是如何被证明和批评的，并得出结论，在这些辩论中，存在着一些希望，以实现一个更合法的政策解决版权战争-或至少开始一个更具建设性的对话的可能性。
Digitization and the internet have posed an acute economic challenge to rights holders in the cultural industries. Faced with a threat to their form of capital accumulation from copyright infringement, rights holders have used discourse strategically in order to try and legitimate and strengthen their position in the digital copyright debate with governments and media users. In so doing, they have appealed to general justificatory principles – about what is good, right, and just – that provide some scope for opposition and critique, as other groups contest their interpretation of these principles and the evidence used to support them. In this article, we address the relative lack of academic attention paid to the role of discourse in copyright debates by analysing user-directed marketing campaigns and submissions to UK government policy consultations. We show how legitimacy claims are justified and critiqued, and conclude that amid these debates rests some hope of achieving a more legitimate policy resolution to the copyright wars – or at least the possibility of beginning a more constructive dialogue.
