Abstract

Digital education, relying on network platforms and multimedia technologies, has enabled the dissemination of teaching content to break through the physical boundaries of traditional classrooms. As a result, the fair use system of copyright faces multiple application obstacles, including the dissolution of temporal and spatial boundaries, the difficulty in characterizing temporary copying, and the disagreement over the determination of citation proportions. Under the combined effect of closed-list provisions, the principle of technological neutrality, and the expansion of licensing mechanisms, the existing fair use rules fail to adapt to the new use patterns in digital education. To address this issue, it is necessary to establish a dynamic balancing test based on the purpose of use and the nature of the work, to achieve the functional integration of statutory licensing and fair use, and to create coordinated norms between technological protection measures and fair use exemptions, thereby reshaping the institutional foundation for balancing copyright interests in the digital education environment.
