In recent years, with the vigorous development of the digital content industry, the problem of Internet copyright infringement has become more and more serious. The development of digital technology has greatly reduced the cost of reproduction and dissemination of works, and the problem of copyright infringement on the Internet has become more and more serious. Under this trend, the network copyright protection system, which has been centered on the "safe haven rule" in the past, has become powerless. Fully reflecting the interests of the new digital environment, the principle of technological neutrality upheld by the "safe haven rule" is no longer sustainable. It exposes the disadvantage that the interests of all parties in the network copyright infringement dispute are difficult to balance. The reason is that the rights and obligations of the "safe harbor rule" are too biased to protect the interests of network service providers. This is actually a departure from the connotation of the principle of technological neutrality. The neutrality of technology itself is not equal to the neutrality of technical behavior. Under the condition that the Internet industry is mature and has the technology to filter copyrighted content, Internet service providers have already had the realistic conditions to bear a higher duty of care. And to increase the duty of care of Internet service providers is not a discriminatory provision, but a necessary means to regulate Internet copyright infringement. The development of copyright content filtering technology provides new ways and ideas for the regulation and prevention of copyright infringement on the Internet.
