face the unstoppable advance of digital technology and social networks in particular the proliferation of Web 2.0 tools, we wonder whether it makes sense to handle the concept of intellectual property has been altered by new forms of information, communication and expression to the birth of the so-called blogosphere and citizen journalism, social web to transform the user-generated content.
The concept of intellectual property is defined in Real Decree 1 / 1996 of 12 April, approving the revised text of the Copyright Act, regularizing, clarifying and harmonizing the existing legislation on the matter and understood as a set of rights pertaining to authors and other holders (artists, producers, broadcasters ...) for works and fruits of his creation.
In this sense, the operator is not only the owner of the website, but users who provide their content to which it is necessary to provide protection. Much of the content we read online is generated by users. Today more than ever, in its version 2.0 internet is the tool most powerful collective intelligence. However, the creation and exploitation of intellectual property is now in the hands of every single citizen, either as authors or as users of protected works, facilitating communication, information sharing, interoperability and collaboration.
At this point, which is the difficulty and the need for intellectual property, the difficulty in distinguishing between lawful and unlawful acts and the need to find a system that meets the interests of creators and users, ensuring balance between private and collective interests.
digital technology and social networks allow greater freedom in the creation and exploitation of intellectual property content and obviously more freedom always requires a greater responsibility. In this sense, we understand that only through knowledge of law and respect for the rights of others will get through the IP system work for the benefit of all authors, rights holders and users, not necessary to create ad hoc rules for the new digital environment in general and for social networking in particular.
Therefore, it is desirable that the user of the website and author who hangs his work in establishing conditions of use internet in which case the work is subject to the same and that social web self-regulatory systems and establish guidelines to ensure the protection of the rights of people without impeding the development of new technologies.
