A Copyright Exception for Monetizing File-Sharing: A proposal for Balancing User Freedom and Author Remuneration in the Brazilian Copyright Law Reform (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

This work proposes a reform of Brazilian copyright law to create a copyright exception that allows for the monetization of file-sharing. With the rapid evolution of digital media, traditional copyright frameworks are increasingly inadequate in balancing user freedoms with authors' rights to remuneration. The paper outlines the need for a new social contract that safeguards creators’ rights while adapting to the modern digital landscape, thereby ensuring equitable access to cultural goods and fostering innovation.
