On the need for conceptual changes in the copyright protection

   The article presents the results of an analysis of the impact of information, communication and digital technologies on social relations regulated by the institution of copyright, and also substantiates the need for conceptual changes in the mechanism of copyright protection. It is concluded that a number of criteria, according to which the results of intellectual activity are granted legal protection, in some cases have lost their significance. The use of digital technologies to create works, as well as the creation of copyright objects by artificial intelligence, cast doubt on the viability of the criterion of creativity as a condition for copyright protection.It is proposed to revise the existing rule on the absence of a requirement for copyright registration. It is substantiated that in modern life the conditions that were originally the prerequisites for the introduction of such rules into international acts and national laws have changed significantly. It is also proposed to use digital technologies (blockchain) in the relevant registration procedures.
