Nicola - Slajd 1: Wstęp

Today we will talk about Copyright in the digital era. We chose this topic because we believe that
in the digital age, where the ow of information is extremely fast and easy, understanding and
protecting copyright becomes crucial for creators and businesses.

Nicola - Slajd 2: INTRODUCTION

Let's start with the De nition of Copyright:

Copyrights are legal rights enjoyed by creators

of original works, such as writers, artists, composers or lmmakers.
They include the rights
to control the use, reproduction
and distribution of their work.

Copyrights provide authors with economic control over their works, and allow them to receive
compensation for the use of their work by other individuals or entities.

Now a bit about the Importance of copyright for creators and businesses:

Copyright gives creators the right to earnings and recognition for their work, which stimulates the
development of culture, science and innovation.

For businesses, copyrights represent a valuable resource that can be commercialized and
generate pro ts through the sale of licenses for the use of protected works.

And nally about the Impact of the Digital Revolution on Copyright:

Developments in digital technology and the Internet have introduced new challenges for copyright.
The ease of copying, distributing and modifying digital content has created new opportunities for
copyright infringement.

The Internet has also enabled global access to creative works, making copyright protection more
complicated, especially for cross-border infringements.

We will start with the topic of Distribution of unauthorized content online:

The Internet has made it easy and fast to share content, leading to the distribution of unauthorized
copies of works and copyright infringement.

Sites that make content available to users, such as streaming services, social media platforms
and torrent sites, are places where unauthorized distribution of content is common.

Now a few words about Digital Piracy and legal issues:

 Digital piracy has a negative impact on creators and creative industries, causing loss of revenue
and hindering development and innovation.

And now about the Di culties in prosecuting online copyright violations:

Prosecuting copyright infringement on the Internet can be di cult due to anonymity, the global
nature of the Web and the technical di culties involved in identifying and prosecuting
perpetrators.

E ective tools and international cooperation are needed to combat copyright infringement on a
global scale.

Nicola - Slajd 4: Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a law passed in the United States in 1998 that
regulates aspects of copyright in the digital age.
The DMCA makes provisions for ISP liability, digital reproduction rights, digital rights management
and combating technology security breaches.

The DMCA works by providing ISPs with certain immunities from liability for users' actions if
certain conditions are met, such as a procedure for removing copyright-infringing content.
The law also introduces rules to protect technological safeguards, such as DRM, which protect
digital content from unauthorized access and copying.

The DMCA also requires online platforms to remove copyright-infringing content after receiving
appropriate noti cations from rights holders.

Kalina - Slajd 5: DRM

Let's start with the de nition and purpose of DRM:

DRM (Digital Rights Management) technology is a set of technologies and mechanisms used to
control access, use and distribution of digital content.

DRM technology uses various mechanisms such as encryption, licensing, access controls and
digital rights management to protect digital content.
Through the use of DRM, creators can control who has access to content, how they can use it,
how long content can be used, etc.

The main purpose of DRM technology is to protect copyright and control the use of digital
content, providing authors and publishers with control over their creations and the ability to
monetize them.

BUT HOW IS THE TECHNOLOGY USED?

DRM technology is widely used in a variety of elds, such as music, movies, e-books, video
games, software, and even content on streaming platforms.
Applications of DRM technology can include copy restrictions, regional restrictions, usage time
limit, per-device restrictions, and digital rights tracking and management.

 The digital age introduces new challenges to copyright protection and enforcement due to the
ease of copying, distribution and access to digital content.

Now about Technologies and Tools for Copyright Enforcement:

In the digital age, various technologies and tools are being developed to help enforce copyright.
Examples include: (Content tracking software, digital rights management (DRM) systems,
algorithms that detect copyright infringement, and platforms and services for reporting and
removing illegal content.

And now about Legal Remedies and Redress:

In the case of serious copyright infringement, rights owners can take legal measures and pursue
their claims in court.
In some jurisdictions, there are laws and regulations that protect copyrights and enable redress,
for example by providing nancial compensation or securing content.

Kalina - Slajd 7: EXAMPLES OF THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY

AND STRATEGIES IN COPYRIGHT PROTECTION
The rst example of the use of technology in copyright protection is Content Filtering:
Copyright owners use sophisticated algorithms and automated processing systems that scan
content to detect and block illegal copies or copyright violations.

The second example is Digital Watermarks:

Digital watermarks are special tags placed on digital content that contain information about the
copyright and the owner of the content.
These marks may not be visible to users, but can be detected by special tools, making it easier to
identify and protect copyrights.

A third example is Internet monitoring and infringement reporting:

Companies specializing in copyright protection monitor the Internet for illegal copies or copyright
violations.
When violations are detected, they may le reports, demand removal of content, or take legal
action to protect copyrights.

And a nal fourth example is Educational campaigns and promotion of legal use of content:
Copyright owners conduct education campaigns and promote legal use of content to raise users'
awareness of the consequences of copyright infringement.
By educating and promoting legal sources of content, piracy and unauthorized use can be
reduced.
