%X At the beginning of the 18th century, the Institute of Copyright and Intellectual Property protection was established as a state regulation system of relations in the field of competition in the market and control of the distribution of legal, literary content in the form of physical media. After the spread of the IT products, including the popularization of the Internet, various online platforms appeared platforms through which authors and owners of intellectual property results can post their works to obtain material benefits and advertise the product. Internet "piracy" causes severe damage to the economic condition of the authors, for example, in the form of lost profits. The main document that regulates the issue of responsibility of online platforms is the Copyright Law Directive (EU) 2019/790 of the European Parliament and the Council of 17 April 2019 or, in other words, the Digital Single Market Directive. The European Union strives to protect its users as much as possible by developing recommendations and adopting legislative acts.
