Digital Copyright
The Internet
The Internet has been hailed as the most revolutionary social development since the printing press. Explosion of new possibilities for connections--among people, among different formerly discrete packages of information, among ideas. The most democratic of media, promoting free expression and access to information.
Drawbacks
Anyone with a computer can make and distribute countless copies of anything digital. The digital version can be sent to friend or even posted in a bulletin board system for downloading by anyone.

CONCLUSION
Digital copyright is growing to be the most significant part of intellectual property right with the advent of internet and other technologies which enables the flow of digital information from various sources. The gains by electronic media are well perceived by leading publishers, but they are at the risk of misusing or manipulating their works as appropriate protections are not in place to permit them to set and enforce the terms and conditions under which their works are made available online. Current efforts in digital copyright protection by implementing the new technologies prevents the infringement upto an extent.
