Summary/Abstract: It is not an unprecedented claim that the Internet and the concomitant proliferation of social media have transformed the manner in which art is created, disseminated and utilised. The numerous online platforms provide the opportunity for anyone, including minors, to make their works public. In recent years, the number of works created by minors increased, especially on video-sharing platforms, for instance, TikTok and YouTube, where millions of short videos and creative content are uploaded each day. Minors not only create videos but are also write books, blogs, make paintings, compose music or create other art forms in an increasing number that have an impact on media and culture. While the emergence of new technologies facilitates the self-expression of minors, it also creates legal challenges as the use of minors' works and their online accessibility requires particular attention. The aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the challenges, potential difficulties and problems related to the use of minors' works.
