LEGAL NORMS ON THE PROTECTION OF COPYRIGHT AND RELATED RIGHTS IN THE DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT IN THE LEGISLATION OF UZBEKISTAN AND INTERNATIONAL TREATIES
Keywords:
copyright, related rights, “WIPO Internet treaties”, digital environment, cyberspace, multimedia, telecommunications networkAbstract
The article deals with the problems associated with ensuring the legal protection of objects of copyright since the last quarter of the twentieth century and related rights in information and communication networks and, in turn, issues related to the constant maintenance of a balance between authors (right holders) and users are discussed. It is known that in 1996 the World Intellectual Property Organization adopted 2 important documents - “Internet Treaties” - to ensure the legal protection of copyright and related rights on the Internet. It was the adoption of these documents that had a serious impact on the countries of the world, making the necessary changes to their national copyright laws. At the same time, in the last
20-30 years, the rules for ensuring the copyright protection and related rights in the digital environment have taken place among other international and regional documents related to the field. It should be noted that the national copyright legislation of Uzbekistan also reflects the norms of the legal protection of works on the Internet and telecommunication networks. The article discusses these aspects and the problems of applying existing norms in practice. Theoretical and comparative analyzes were also carried out based on the norms of international conventions (“Bern Convention”, “Rome Convention”) and agreements (“WIPO Internet treaties”, TRIPS Agreement) and doctrinal sources. The article also discusses the analysis of such concepts as “the digital environment”, “digital technologies”, “multimedia”, and “cyber environment” and their essence. As a result of discussions, conclusions are drawn about the need to ensure the protection of copyright and related rights in the digital environment in Uzbekistan, legal mechanisms, issues of the practical application of the norms of “Internet contracts”, and the role of organizations managing property rights on a collective basis.
