Abstract

As a new type of entertainment, script-killing, especially immersive live-action script-killing, has gained significant attention, and the script-killing industry has developed widely. However, despite the prosperity of script-killing, the relevant laws and systems remain incomplete. At present, it is not clear whether the types of works of script-killing are recognized; whether and how to protect their copyrights are still to be clarified; and it is difficult to define and regulate the behavior of script-killing operators who temporarily provide pirated scripts to script-killing players. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the attributes and types of script-killing works, explore the copyrightability of script-killing game rules, and define the behavior of script-killing operators who temporarily provide pirated scripts, so as to provide behavioral guidelines for script-killing operators, regulate the market operation of the script-killing industry, and also play a role as a guideline for uniform adjudication of copyright disputes over script-killing works.
