Copyright Infringement in Content Sharing on Online Platforms

Abstract Copyright laws and enforcement procedures significantly impact peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms, where decentralized sharing and user-generated content challenge traditional intellectual property protections. This article explores the complexities of copyright enforcement in P2P networks, where rapid content exchange and user anonymity often undermine established legal mechanisms, complicating efforts to identify and penalize infringing activity. Legislative frameworks, such as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) in the United States, attempt to place liability on platform operators or implement notice-and-takedown processes. However, the global nature of P2P networks complicates enforcement due to variations in international copyright laws and jurisdictional constraints. Beyond legal challenges, P2P platforms face ethical and technical difficulties in balancing copyright protection with user autonomy, creativity, and privacy. Approaches like digital fingerprinting, content filtering, and takedown protocols may infringe on users’ rights to freely share and create content, potentially leading to censorship concerns and impeding the platform's open character. Through case studies and legal precedents, this article highlights the ongoing tension between copyright protection and users' rights, emphasizing the need for balanced, flexible, and internationally coordinated policies. The study advocates for adaptable copyright solutions that respect both copyright holders and users while preserving privacy and innovation in the digital age.
