Technological Protection Measures and Their Role in Protecting Digital Works

Abstract

This research aims to elucidate the measures enacted by international conventions for safeguarding intellectual property rights, particularly those pertinent to digital works. It seeks to ascertain the adequacy of current copyright laws in protecting rights holders amidst rapidly evolving technology. The investigation further sets out to identify critical technological safeguards in place for the protection of digital works and discuss the implications of legally safeguarding such measures within the context of copyright laws. The study’s findings indicate that technological measures have been granted legal protection, as mandated by international agreements and intellectual property laws. These laws proscribe any attempts to circumvent these measures with the intent to undermine or negate them. In response, penalties have been implemented for misuse or violation of these technical copyright protection measures. Moreover, sanctions have been instituted against deliberate interference with rights management information to counter the challenges posed by the increasing proliferation of the information superhighway. The study strongly advocates for enhancing internet users’ awareness of these laws. It underscores the need to instill a sense of responsibility among users when selecting online information. It emphasizes adherence to appropriate online behavior, respect for others and their rights, and avoiding infringement on intellectual property rights.
