THE ROLE OF CIVIL LIABILITY IN PROTECTING DIGITAL RIGHTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Modern technology has facilitated the execution of many tasks that were once impossible, as the transfer of information now occurs with ease and convenience, Among the fields that have leveraged this development is intellectual property, particularly the digital rights of authors. However, this advancement has led to numerous issues, including the infringement of digital authors' rights, which has prompted the Algerian legislator to establish mechanisms for their protection, one of which is civil liability.
Civil liability is considered one of the important mechanisms that provide protection for digital authors' rights, through the filing of a lawsuit by the injured party against the party responsible for the damage, provided that the necessary elements are met. One of the consequences of this is the court ruling in favor of the injured party for compensation for the damage incurred, considering that the digital rights of the author contribute to the economic development of countries.
