The internet as a challenge in copyright and related rights protection

Summary/Abstract: With the advancement of information technologies, the protection of copyright and related rights has faced numerous challenges that tend to make the existence of copyright and related rights meaningless and create a dilemma between rights and freedom. The traditional understanding of the protection of these rights no longer corresponds to reality and the many ways in which they are abused. The Internet has become a fertile ground for unrestricted acts of infringement such as unauthorized access and use of copyright, plagiarism, forgery and piracy. The most numerous obstacles to exercising absolute rights in this area are disputes over territorial jurisdiction due to the globalization of society, a large number of cases that successfully develop case law, but are not accompanied by the same speed of regulation, as well as insufficient information of users about digital content protection on Internet platforms. The main questions to which the paper will offer answers concern obstacles to the regulation of copyright and related rights in cyberspace, both internationally and nationally. The authors will pay special attention to the nature of copyright and/or freedom of access to multimedia content and software solutions on the Internet. The paper will use the methods of description and content analysis method.
