FEATURES OF COPYRIGHT PROTECTION IN SOCIAL NETWORKS

Abstract

Today, social networks have become one of the main platforms widely used by the population. Cases of copyright infringement on social networks also occur due to the speed of data exchange. The constitutional reforms carried out in Uzbekistan and the adoption of strategic documents aimed at the development of intellectual property testify to the relevance of copyright protection. As a result of the study, it was concluded that the conditions for recognizing content posted on social networks as an object of copyright in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan are not separately established; copyright infringement through social networks can manifest itself as a violation of personal non-property rights and property rights; it is necessary to improve legislation in the field of informatization; attention should be paid to organizational and legal aspects, including the regulation of the relationship between the owner (administrator) and the user of the social network in the protection of copyright in social networks. Based on the results of this study, criteria for evaluating content as an object of copyright were developed, and a circle of subjects entitled to apply for protection in social networks was determined. In addition, it was justified that it is necessary to develop general rules governing the user agreement in social networks as well as to clearly define the issue of copyright compliance in them.
