Summary/Abstract: Slovak legal experts are aware of the constant need to adjust the Copyright Act to the current demands related to new digital technologies that allow the creation and application of works, including producing their copies (phenomenon of the Internet). The amended Act provides authors with more effective exercise of their rights and is in compliance with European and international law. The European Union has made several regulations that adjust copyright relations and the Slovak Republic has therefore incorporated them into Slovak legal system. Unfortunately, we have to state that in spite of the European Union’s effort to harmonize copyright within the internal market there are still many differences between legal regulations of EU member states in terms of copyright.
