The development of digital technology by the end of last and the beginning of this century accelerated the flow of information, but mostly due to the global computer network – the Internet. In cultural terms, this trend has contributed to the spread of ideas, education, information and many other facet of life of modern man, since the content through the Internet, have become available globally. Certainly in this, the digital environment, the exchange of information for science has a special significance. Science, in the broadest sense, is a systematic process by which creates and organizes knowledge in the form of theoretical explanation and prediction of certain social or natural phenomena. From the standpoint of copyright, which this paper devotes special attention, scientific results leave the relatively closed world of institutions and individuals who are engaged in science and entering the world of users interconnected via the computer network, but principally interested in the results achieved in various fields of scientific research. Therefore, the uniqueness of contemporary researches is precisely the fact that the scientific results, thanks to the global computer network, are easily available, or could be. Accordingly, communication between researchers, but also with businesses, is aimed at creating conditions for unobstructed access to science and scientific results. Therefore, in juridical circles reopened debate on the need to adapt modern copyright framework of exchange of information via the Internet and the need to preserve the balance of interests of title and society, which further progress requires freedom in use of relevant scientific results. This paper aims to show the direction in which they move attempts to modernize copyright in certain segments and what are the practical implications of proposed solutions.
