A ineficácia da lei de direitos autorais na era do streaming de música e as novas propostas legislativas

Abstract

This paper aims to present the challenges offered by digital platforms in relation to the protection of music copyright, focusing on the ineffectiveness of the current copyright law and the new legislative proposals that address the issue. Developed based on bibliographic analysis and documentary research of legislation, this research seeks to answer the following questions: how is the copyright law ineffective in the face of the digital revolution and the era of music streaming? And, in a complementary way, how do the new legislative proposals intend to regulate streaming services in the Brazilian context? Thus, the research will first start from the historical evolution of copyright and its general aspects. Subsequently, it will address the legislation pertinent to general and music copyright, analyzing its effectiveness and ineffectiveness in regulating streaming services. Finally, it will identify the points in which PL 2370/2019 intends to regulate copyright in the context of music streaming services. It was concluded that the copyright law, last updated in 2013, is ineffective in the face of the growth of streaming in Brazil, and that new regulations are essential to better meet the demands of authors and artists.
