第三,筹资信息的传播具有公开性。股权众筹以互联网技术为依托,这就使得筹资信息天然地具有公开传播特性。无论筹资人或众筹平台是否有意实施公开广告或一般性劝诱行为(general advertising or public solicitation),筹资信息都将持续性地处于公开可获得状态。此外,社交网络和自媒体技术的普及,也使得筹资信息可能藉由网络用户的行为,在更大范围内进行传播,并对潜在投资人产生影响。
统观上述对于集资门户经营行为的禁止性规定和安全港规则,我们可以看出,立法者在设定上述规则时,始终秉持着均衡兼顾各方主体利益的立法理念。一方面,立法者希望通过一系列禁止性规则的设定,以制度手段将集资门户定位为纯粹的交易中介,从而防止其与投资人发生利益冲突;另一方面,立法者意图通过安全港规则的设置,为集资门户的经营行为预留充分的制度空间,并允许集资门户根据筹资人的筹资金额收取佣金(transaction based compensation),通过这一原本为注册券商所独有的方式获取收益。毕竟,只有集资门户实现健康发展,才能带动整个股权众筹产业的整体进步。
