當我們沉浸在歷史事件中時，往往無法清楚地認識它們。幾個世紀以來，思想家們通過質疑人性本身來尋求真理，但他們的見解仍然不可避免地受到歷史背景所施加的動機和盲點的限制。信息技術和大數據的興起引起了一些負面的社會影響，例如將社會分裂成孤立的階層。公平和正義的概念，曾經以共同的原則為基礎，現在卻分解成相對性。特別是在資本主義邏輯下，將所有價值降低為經濟價值。是什麼讓這些無形的東西變得專屬而非公共資源？它們的經濟價值是基於導致資源集中在少數人手中的資本主義邏輯，還是有助於公眾福祉？反不正當競爭法的名稱表明其立法目的是追求公平或正當。那麼，在這項法律下，公平與不公平的界限在哪裡呢？互聯網產業的興起是否改變了反不正當競爭法所宣導的行為準則？考慮到這些問題，本文考察了中國大陸的反不正當競爭法，以確定公平與不公平之間的界限是如何在立法和司法層面得到承認的，以及這種承認如何與公共福祉相關。為了解決這些問題，本文遵循三個關鍵線索：哲學和理論基礎--授予無形物品專有權的正當性，以及這些理論的歷史背景；立法和司法實踐--對中國法律和法院判決的研究，以瞭解實際的司法實踐；社會經濟條件--影響立法和司法裁決的更廣泛的經濟和社會因素。

When we immerse ourselves in historical events, we often fail to clearly understand them. For centuries, thinkers have sought truth by questioning human nature itself, but their insights have inevitably been constrained by the motives and blind spots imposed by their historical contexts. The rise of information technology and big data has some negative effects, such as dividing society into isolated strata. Concepts of fairness and justice, once based on common principles, have now disintegrated into relativity. Particularly under the logic of capitalism, all values are reduced to economic value. What makes these intangible things become exclusive rights rather than public resources? Is economic value based on the capitalist logic leads to the concentration of resources in the hands of a few, or is it conducive to public welfare? The name of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law indicates its legislative purpose of pursuing fairness. Then, where is the boundary between fairness and unfairness under this law? Has the rise of the Internet industry changed the behavioural norms advocated by the Anti-Unfair Competition Law? Considering these issues, this paper examines the Anti-Unfair Competition Law to determine how the boundary between fairness and unfairness is recognized at the legislative and judicial levels and how such recognition is related to public welfare. To address these questions, this paper follows three key threads: philosophical and theoretical foundations - the legitimacy of granting exclusive rights of intangible items and the historical background of these theories; legislative and judicial practices - a study of China mainland’s law and the court judgments to nderstand actual judicial practices; and socio-economic conditions - broader economic and social factors that influence legislative and judicial decisions.
