Problems of Legal Regulation of Website Content

The bachelor’s project analyzes website content and its legal status. The term «website» today does not contain detailed indications of the content characteristics, while the term «content» is absent at all. However, in the age of technologies and their active development, the legal field of the online environment needs a clear termbase. In this regard, the author of the work proposes several amendments to the current Federal Law «On Information, Information Technologies and Information Protection» in terms of legislative consolidation of the concepts and the introduction of separate norms that take into account their features. All proposals are based on the established judicial practice and a comparative analysis of foreign practice. The paper also discusses ways of confirming copyright for digital content and fixing it in its current state. Attention is paid to the preventive role of some methods, among which can be named the placement of the copyright mark and informing about the prohibition of copying. The development of such a method of fixing copyright as the deposition is analyzed, taking into account the current position of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation. The author also pays attention to issues related to rewriting activities, which consists of the processing of original content. The rewriting result is a new copyright object based on the author's text, but only if the requirement of due uniqueness is met.
