DIGITAL QUASI-JURISDICTIONS: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS PROTECTION REGIME IN THE NETWORK

Abstract

The article discusses the problems of intellectual property protection in social networks and on streaming platforms, and also raises the issues of protecting the intellectual rights of users of information resources. The author explores the potential of digital companies as subjects of self-regulated digital space in reducing the level of violations of the interests of copyright holders of the results of intellectual activity posted on the Internet. The purpose of this study is to find an effective regulatory mechanism that exists within social networks and streaming platforms, the procedure for considering user complaints about the misuse of intellectual property by third parties. In this regard, the author analyzes the current legislation for the existence of a basis for the legality and legitimacy of measures taken by information platforms as a means of suppressing violations of the interests of copyright holders and imposing liability measures on persons carrying out unlawful encroachments.

As a result of the research, the author comes to the conclusion that for the proper functioning of the mechanism for the consideration of user requests by the administrations of information platforms, it is necessary to create special norms requiring IT companies to follow standards and principles of a procedural nature.
