Rights and challenges in the technological domain: navigating the transformations of digital property

Abstract

This chapter examines the profound transformations brought about by the digital domain in the context of digital property. It explores the challenges and implications of digital content dissemination, intellectual property rights, and regulatory frameworks. The shift from traditional tangible property to intangible digital assets raises complex legal and philosophical questions. The chapter is structured into four sections: the challenges of digital property rights, the evolution of intellectual property in the digital age, the regulatory discourse surrounding digital technologies, and a synthesis of insights on the current and future state of digital property rights. Key themes include the impact of technological advancements on property concepts, the interplay between control and freedom in the digital sphere, and the necessity for adaptive regulatory approaches to balance the interests of stakeholders in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
