COPYRIGHT IN THE FACE OF THE CHALLENGES OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT AND COMMUNICATIONS AT THE PRESENT TIME. THE CURRENT TIMES. ITS EXPRESSION IN THE SYSTEM OF DOMESTIC LAW IN CUBA

Abstract

The work gathers a critical thematic axis in its conceptualization and execution by the entities and agents related to Copyright. We make a journey through the beginnings of the activity. Man has created since his emergence and this is what has always distinguished him, however, the author and the artist for centuries unknown were not protected and their creations were not protected either until the last century when the concepts of individuality, property, natural or human rights were fully developed.
The author's right can be said to have always existed, but it was not legislated, but in ancient societies, what was created by authors was governed by the right of common property, that is to say, they could dispose of them as a thing, like any other material good. The protection of authors is relatively young, although from the most remote periods there was already a notion of literary property, the latter we cannot absolutely deny, if we take into account that in Rome there were real copyists' workshops that reproduced the works in manuscripts, ignoring the copyright in the current sense. The development of the digital environment and communications at the present time is vertiginous.
New forms of expression and creation, new modes, ways and means of reproduction and access are emerging. The The process of globalization of markets and economies in which the current "information society" is immersed makes the information society" makes it increasingly necessary to use information technology as an instrument for the processing of data and its data processing and transmission from one place to another.
