Introduction to intellectual property law in the digital environment.

We are opening a new section in which you can learn about some legal aspects of copyright in the information society (digital environment). After a series of articles devoted to this topic, a series of questions will be revealed on the features and content of the site creation contract, on the rights of authors, the copyright transfer agreement and many other legal aspects.

I would like to ask readers to respond and comment on the relevance of the topic.


Over the past ten years, the information society has received an unexpectedly large-scale development, which has given rise to new social, economic and legal problems. New technologies have had an unprecedented impact on research, training, access to culture and information. Among the important problems posed by modern society, which we are accustomed to call informational, is the creation of a balanced and comprehensive legal framework, designed to reflect changes in fundamental rights

Ensuring the rights of the copyright holder is one of the main problems of copyright adaptation in the digital environment.

The guarantor of copyright protection in the information society should be the state through its jurisdictional bodies, since only it can ensure the enforcement of these rights. Jurisdictional bodies found themselves in a rather difficult situation: a completely new system of social relations arose related to the use of modern technologies.

In most cases, in the event of any disputes, a broad interpretation of legal norms is required, since the law does not contain the necessary references to the specifics of copyright protection from the Internet.

Computerization in the field of copyright is a complex and complex problem that must be addressed taking into account the diversity of legal, social, organizational and technical factors.

It is known that the absence of norms that take into account the peculiarities of the Internet and its weak controllability allow the violator to avoid responsibility in many cases.

Both national and international legislative initiatives and technological developments were rapidly developed to strengthen copyright in this new environment. In 1996, the international community presented two treaties signed under the auspices of WIPO and aimed at solving the priority problems of the authors. National and regional legislators have also passed a series of laws for this purpose.

The aim of the work is to touch upon very topical and controversial issues, the solution of which in the future will have a very positive effect on the protection of intellectual property rights in the information society:

* The legal features of intellectual property in digital form will be considered.
* Analysis of exclusions and exemptions from copyright. Clash of interests of rights holders and users. The current trend is to reduce exceptions and the consequences that may occur.
* Analysis of the main sources of regulation of intellectual property, international treaties, conventions and their main features.
* Exploring copyright protection in a digital environment. The main methods of protection, as well as technical means of protection, which at the present stage are the key ways to protect their rights, but also not guaranteeing 100% protection.
