Abstract

In the digital age, computer programs and databases have emerged as invaluable intellectual properties, driving technological advancements and innovation across industries. As these works become increasingly critical to modern society, ensuring adequate legal protection through copyright law is paramount. This article explores the intricate legal landscape surrounding copyright protection for computer programs and databases. Focusing on the international and national legal frameworks, the article examines the requirements for copyright eligibility, such as originality, fixation, and authorship. It delves into the scope of protection, encompassing source code, object code, user interfaces for computer programs, and the structure, arrangement, and data content of databases. The article also addresses the exceptions and limitations to copyright protection, balancing the rights of creators with the legitimate interests of users and the public. Fair use, reverse engineering, and the creation of backup copies are among the key exceptions discussed. Additionally, the article highlights the challenges of enforcing copyright protection in the digital realm, including digital piracy, transnational infringement, and the complexities surrounding technological protection measures. By providing a comprehensive overview of this intricate legal domain, the article aims to foster a deeper understanding of the critical role copyright plays in incentivizing innovation and creativity in the digital age, while also acknowledging the need for a balanced approach that promotes access and legitimate use of these invaluable works
