ABSTRACT

In general terms, copyright provides an author with a tool to protect a work from being taken, used, and exploited by others without permission. The owner of a copyrighted work has the exclusive right to reproduce it, prepare derivative works based upon it, distribute copies by sale or other transfer of ownership, perform and display it publicly, and authorize others to do so. The refrigerator company will simply have one less item of merchandise to sell and a loss reflected by the refrigerator's price. The software company, however, will suddenly be faced with the prospect of a market flooded with exact copies of its product - sold or given away by another. Without the ability to prevent unauthorized copying, sale, and distribution of its product, the software company will not be able to survive. This research was carried out for the purpose of 1) promoting the rational mediation method of interests relations between the parties by clearing up the concept of digital contents and catching hold of the structure of legal relations connected with the circulation of digital contents, and 2) gripping clearly the liabilities of online service providers.
