Legal protection of the author's literary rights in light of electronic publishing

Abstract

Technological advancement and the proliferation of electronic publishing are among the most prominent features of the digital age. This evolution has facilitated the ease of publishing intellectual works and their widespread dissemination. However, this progress has been accompanied by numerous infringements on copyright, particularly moral rights, which represent the personal and spiritual bond between the author and their work—such as the right of attribution and the right to the integrity of the work (preventing its distortion or mutilation).

In this research, we examined the adequacy of the legal protection provided for the author's moral rights in the context of electronic publishing by clarifying the legal means of protection against these violations. We employed an analytical methodology, studying legal texts related to copyright protection and their application to various forms of electronic infringement, such as ceasing the infringement and withdrawing the work.
