Abstract

The effective protection of intellectual property rights is essential for the continuous development of the international electronic commerce and of the information technologies and communication, which are the conditions under which we assist to a revolution in communication technology storage, reproduction and transmission of the information. The Internet offers a multitude of possibilities for transmission and distribution of products, services and, implicitly, of intellectual creations. Parallel with this amazing revolution in communication, there is a discrepancy between the level of rules and copyright and the status of the new technologies. In this regard, it is notable the effort of the legislator to adapt and modify laws on copyright and related rights.
