It shows that one of the purposes, the one that is mostly the subject of the lawsuits, is the entertainment industry's effort to restrict copying and sharing of digital works to the public. The last part of the thesis offers a solution. The first part analyzes the very concept of copyright, what are the grounds of its protection, and what has changed with the start of the digital age. In the next section there is description and summary of the world's two most important legal acts in the area of copyright protection -- DMCA, representing an act that is in force and ACTA, representing a proposed act. Next section shows the impact of those acts using recent lawsuits divided according to their substance. This section is also showing unjustifiability of some purposes of the copyright protection, especially protection of the right to copy and share. The last part of this thesis introduces a model, which is using the Creative Commons and crowdfunding, and an application that would allow the public to share and copy digital works without limitations while ensuring remuneration to authors.
