Copyright Regulation on Audiovisual Works on the Internet

Ragulin Alexander Vladimirovich "Regulation of copyright on Audiovisual Works on the Internet" In the final qualifying work, the problem of regulating copyright on audiovisual works on the Internet was investigated. The purpose of this study is to identify the theoretical and practical problems of copyright regulation on audiovisual works, with particular attention to their use and distribution on the Internet. To accomplish this goal, legal problems related to the use and distribution of audiovisual works on the Internet were carried out; an analysis of domestic and foreign legislation in this field of law was made; judicial practice, as well as the most relevant European Union Directives, was studied. The following ideas were put forward during the study: a) Inaccuracy in the legal regulation of the use and distribution of audiovisual products on the Internet creates conditions for the abuse of the right by authors and rights holders; b) The unlicensed use and distribution of audiovisual works indirectly stimulated rightholders to innovate the sphere of the legal distribution industry for audiovisual content in the network; c) Many legislative innovations lead to a serious violation of the basic rights and freedoms of ordinary users: hosting providers are monitoring users’ information, providing censorship on the Internet, that is why freedom of speech is violated; d) In the process of copyright protection, it is important to keep in mind the need to balance the interests of many parties. Based on the problems identified, the author put forward a number of proposals to improve the regulation of copyright in audiovisual works on the Internet. The work consists of introduction, four chapters, ten sections, conclusion and list of references and references.
