ABSTRACT

Technology advancements have led to modifications in copyright over time. Because of the World Wide Web’s (WWW) and the Internet’s expansion, copyrights are now utilized in a new cyberspace. New opportunities and hazards are discovered when copyright in cyberspace is examined. Yet, these new developments also carry new dangers, many of which jeopardize the rights of those who possess copyright. These dangers frequently outweigh the opportunities provided by the internet. This suggests that more laws are necessary to safeguard copyright in cyberspace. Cyberspace is constantly evolving, making it challenging for the law to react rapidly. The most significant and contentious of the key Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in cyberspace appears to be copyright. This has prompted international copyright regimes to urge for tighter regulation of internet. More international collaboration is required to control cyberspace and safeguard copyrights. This paper seeks to shed light on a number of challenges in the protection of copyright in the cyberspace which deserved closer attention & might be problematic in the future if not dealt appropriately.
