The regulation of digital content and internet copyright presents complex
challenges at national and global levels. This article examines Uzbekistan‟s legal
framework for digital content and copyright, comparing it with practices in the United
States, European Union, China, and Russia. The Results detail Uzbekistan‟s current
laws – rooted in international treaties and recent reforms – and contrast them with the
DMCA regime in the U.S., the EU‟s evolving directives, China‟s state-driven
enforcement, and Russia‟s site-blocking approach. We discuss regulatory measures
across content types (video, music, software, AI-generated content, etc.), highlighting
expert views and case studies. The common challenges such as online piracy, platform
liability, and the emerging issue of AI-generated works. This concludes with
observations on best practices and recommendations for strengthening Uzbekistan‟s
digital content regulation while safeguarding fundamental rights.
