The second part presents the development of copyright protection. The next two parts are in sequence and refer to the main arguments in favor of copyright and against copyright. Then the concept of copyright of Immanuel Kant is shown. The penultimate part of the rethinking of Kant based on the arguments of the supporters and the opponents of copyright. And finally, the conclusions are shown, which can be achieved on the basis of the analysis. The most important observation is that Kant’s vision of copyright is still timely. It means that in the face of today’s conflicts, we should return to the idea of Kant because he described the fundamental rights of authors. Kant also presented the works that are and are not protected by copyright. Only those works are protected by copyright according to Kant, which are the extension of the personality of the author.
