    瑞典一家上诉法庭于本周三（4月12日）就该国第4电视台在播放两位电影导演的电影时插播商业广告的行为做出了判决，认为此举侵犯了那两个人所拍影片的艺术完整性。

    据美联社4月12日报道，瑞典导演威尔戈特·舍曼和克拉斯·埃里克松一起将瑞典第4电视台（TV4）告上了法庭，理由是该台在2002年播放他们拍摄的两部影片时插播了数段广告。

    瑞典一家法庭曾就此事做出过判决，认为第4电视台在播放影片时并未得到可以插播广告的授权，所以它实际上已经构成了对于两位导演作品的艺术完整性和版权的侵犯。这一判决目前已得到斯维亚上诉法庭的明确支持。但第4电视台表示，他们可能会就此结果向瑞典法院提出上诉。

    瑞典的喜剧片导演埃里克松指出，对舍曼而言，这一判决堪称个人的胜利。舍曼已于9日在瑞典首都斯德哥尔摩一家医院内因脑部大出血引起的并发症死亡，享年81岁。舍曼大胆描写性爱的影片曾在上个世纪60年代引发了激烈争论。埃里克松说：“他要是知道了这个消息，一定会高兴得不得了。这起诉讼花去了我们两人4年的时间，令人颇感欣慰的是，我们的努力没有白费。”

    报道说，这一判决意味着埃里克松现在可以要求第4电视台向自己给予赔偿，但却不会对该国各电视台今后的此类行为产生影响。自从2002年起，第4电视台和其它很多家电视台均开始与导演签定协议，得到在影片中插播广告的许可。

    A Swedish appeals court on Wednesday ruled that a TV station violated the artistic integrity of two filmmakers by interrupting their movies with commercial breaks.

    Swedish director and screenwriter Vilgot Sjoman, who died Sunday, had sued TV4 along with director Claes Eriksson after it interrupted their movies in 2002 with several commercial breaks.

    The two movies, Sjoman's "Alfred" and Eriksson's "The Shark Who Knew Too Much" were made before Swedish broadcasting laws allowed commercial stations to interrupt movies with advertisements, and the Svea Court of Appeals upheld a lower court ruling saying the station violated the directors' integrity and copyright, since they had not given permission for the breaks.

    Eriksson, who has produced several popular comedies in Sweden, said the ruling was a personal victory for him and Sjoman, whose provocative and sexually explicit films stirred controversy in the 1960s. Sjoman died at the age of 81 Sunday at a Stockholm hospital of complications from a brain hemorrhage.

    "He would have been incredibly happy," Eriksson told public broadcaster SVT after the ruling was announced. "This has taken four years of our time, and it is good that it was not been in vain."

    The ruling means Eriksson can seek damages from TV4, but is likely to have little effect on Swedish broadcasters. Since 2002, TV4 and many other stations have started signing agreements with directors that allow for commercial breaks during their movies.

    TV4 said it may appeal the decision to the Swedish Supreme Court.
