Summary/Abstract: The analysis examines the good faith in using copyright objects in cases where such use is not lawful. It has considered the Good faith in general highlighting its importance in different branches of law and especially in the intellectual property. We have given some examples from the practice in the aim to show the character of liability for copyright infringement. Some law-making trends in Bulgaria, the European Union and in other countries have been analysed. One of the main points of the study discusses whether the protection of copyright holders does not unjustly infringe the rights of good faith users, especially when the latter are consumers. Finally, we compare the copyrights of the owner and the rights of the good faith users.
