A | DETROIT -- Ford Motor Co. Executive Chairman Bill Ford called on autoworkers to come together to end a monthlong strike that he says could cost the company the ability to invest in the future.In a rare speech during contract talks in the company's hometown of Dearborn, Michigan, Ford said high labor costs could limit spending to develop new vehicles and invest in factories. “It’s the absolute lifeblood of our company. And if we lose it, we will lose to the competition. America loses. Many jobs will be lost,” said the great grandson of company founder Henry Ford.The company, he said, builds more vehicles in America and has more United Auto Workers employees than any company, which has increased its costs in a highly competitive industry.Ford has 57,000 UAW workers compared with 46,000 at GM and 43,000 at Stellantis. “Many of our competitors moved jobs to Mexico as we added jobs here in the U.S.,” Ford said.The company is near an impasse with the United Auto Workers union, which walked out in targeted strikes at all three Detroit automakers on Sept. 15, Last week 8,700 union members walked out at the largest and most profitable Ford plant in the world, the Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville. Ford said the strike at the Kentucky plant is harming tens of thousands of Americans who work for parts suppliers and Ford dealers. The strike also could cause a fragile parts supply base to collapse, he said. “If it continues, it will have a major impact on the American economy and devastate local communities,” he said.There was no immediate response from the UAW early Monday. Ford, only the fourth family member to lead the 120-year-old company, said he has watched other companies lose their auto industries, then all of their manufacturing base. He said strong American manufacturing is essential for national security. “We need to come together to bring an end to this acrimonious round of talks,” Ford said. “I still believe in a bright future – one that we can build together. I still believe the automobile industry is a major force for good in our country. We will continue to be there when America needs us most.”Last week, after the Kentucky strike began, a top Ford executive said on a conference call with reporters that Ford had reached the limit in how much it was willing to spend to end the strike. The speech from Ford arrives with the entire auto industry making a historic and expensive shift from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles.UAW President Shawn Fain has said Ford and crosstown rivals General Motors and Jeep maker Stellantis are making billions in profits, and that workers should get a share. He says the workers should be repaid for sacrificing general pay raises, cost of living adjustments and agreeing to lower wage tiers to keep the companies afloat during the Great Recession.The union began striking at targeted factories after its contracts with the companies expired. It started picketing one assembly plant from each company, but that has since spread to 38 parts warehouses at GM and Jeep maker Stellantis. The UAW later added another assembly plant at both GM and Ford.Last Wednesday Fain made the surprise announcement that the union would walk out at the Kentucky plant, which makes Super Duty pickups and large Ford and Lincoln SUVs.About 34,000 of the union's 146,000 employees at all three automakers are now on strike.Kumar Galhotra, president of Ford Blue, the company’s internal combustion engine business, told reporters Thursday that Ford stretched to get to the offer it now has on the table.The apparently widening labor rift suggests Ford and the union may be in for a lengthy strike that could cost the company and workers billions of dollars.Fain said on Wednesday that Ford told UAW bargainers for nearly two weeks that it would make another counteroffer on economic issues. But at a meeting called by the union, the company didn’t increase its previous offer, Fain said. “Ford hasn’t gotten the message” to bargain for a fair contract, Fain said in announcing the walkout by 8,700 workers at the company’s Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville.“We’ve been very patient working with the company on this,” he said in a video. “They have not met expectations, they’re not even coming to the table on it.”Galhotra called Ford’s offer “incredibly positive” and said Ford never indicated to the union that it would be increased.“We have been very clear we are at the limit,” he said on a conference call with reporters. “We risk the ability to invest in the business and profitably grow. And profitable growth is in the best interest of everybody at Ford.”The company has a set amount of money, but is willing to move dollars around in a way that might fit the union’s needs, he said, adding that he still thinks it’s possible to reach a deal.The union has said Ford’s general wage offer is up to 23% over four years and that it has reinstated cost of living raises. GM and Stellantis were at 20%. But Fain said none was high enough.。　　讯 8月20日，最高人民法院发布《关于修改〈最高人民法院关于审理著作权民事纠纷案件适用法律若干问题的解释〉的决定》（法释〔2026〕18号，以下简称《决定》）。《决定》于2026年5月25日经最高人民法院审判委员会第1976次会议通过，自2026年9月1日起施行。　　《决定》坚持严格保护知识产权，坚持依法解释和问题导向，针对著作权司法实践中的作品发表认定、合理使用的边界、报刊转载法定许可的范围等重点难点问题，进一步细化和完善法律适用标准，统一案件裁判尺度，增强司法解释的可操作性，为当事人提供明确诉讼指引，为市场提供明确行为预期，确保著作权法的正确实施。　　一是进一步明确“公之于众”的认定标准。删去原司法解释第九条中“著作权人自行或者经著作权人许可”的限定，将“公之于众”明确为将作品向不特定的人公开，但不以公众知晓为构成要件。主要考虑是，目前知识产权理论界和司法实践均认可，作品因他人侵权行为而被公开也属于公之于众。　　二是进一步细化合理使用的适用规则。将原司法解释第十八条规定的“室外公共场所的艺术作品”修改为“公共场所的艺术作品”，与2020年修正的著作权法第二十四条第一款第十项的规定保持一致。

B | 同时，增加但书规定，明确对公共场所艺术作品的临摹、绘画、摄影、录像人，可以对其成果依法以合理的方式和范围再行使用，但是未经著作权人许可不得以相同方式设置、陈列或者公开传播。作出上述修改的主要考虑是，著作权法第二十四条第一款删除了“公开场所”的限定词“室外”，公开场所的范围扩大，涵盖了公共及商业性的美术馆、展览馆等，因此需要对“合理的使用方式和范围”进行限制，在保障合理使用空间的同时避免挫伤著作权人展览作品的积极性。　　三是进一步明确报刊转载法定许可的适用范围。

C | 将原司法解释第十七条“报纸、期刊”的范围明确为“报纸、期刊主管部门批准出版的纸质报纸、期刊以及与其内容和版面格式相一致的数字化版本”，以适应网络和数字技术发展需要。同时增加一款，明确报纸、期刊与互联网信息服务提供者之间相互转载、互联网信息服务提供者之间相互转载已发表的作品，不适用前款规定，应当经过著作权人许可并支付报酬。作出上述修改的主要考虑是，当前报纸、期刊行业在经营模式上已经从传统纸质媒体扩展到网络数字媒体，将报纸、期刊版面以原格式通过信息网络传播可以视为纸质转载方式的合理延伸，被诉侵权人可以援引著作权法第三十五条第二款规定的法定许可进行抗辩。
