Abstract:

Based on content encoding of 3004 judicial judgments, this empirical study includes judicial
judgments of foreign一related Internet copyright infringement. The study raises a question that, in the
environment of lawsuits of Internet copyright infringement increasing rapidly, why the amount of foreign-related
lawsuits declines? Research statistics show that although winning rate of foreign-related lawsuits is relatively
higher, they cost more time and money of the accusers. In this situation, the gap between actual benefits and
expected benefits is huge. This low amount of compensation turns out to be an important reason of foreign
firms' "bored litigation”.
