Abstract:The modernization of digital cultural works has ushered in novel paradigms. The production landscape has shifted from a singular focus on manufacturers to a proliferation of ordinary users becoming producers, fostering the growth of user-generated content (UGC) models. Content creation has evolved from being confined within individual industries to embracing cross-disciplinary integration. Similarly, the protection of cultural works has transitioned from closed, exclusive intellectual property rights to open-source cultures and shared licensing models. The market for these works has also migrated from physical exchanges to virtual trading ecosystems. The innovative application of these new models has sparked copyright dilemmas.The UGC model poses legal and ethical challenges regarding the rights of original authors, the freedom of user creativity, and the applicability of copyright laws. Cross-disciplinary integration, on the other hand, introduces complexities in balancing copyright interests across domains and facilitating creator collaboration. To address these challenges, we must embark on a structured approach: reinforcing the role of platforms to balance creators’ freedom with social responsibilities; optimizing copyright attribution for collaborative works to enhance remuneration fairness; redefining intellectual property boundaries to mitigate infringement; and improving verification methods, leveraging technology, and refining the legal framework for virtual works. In safeguarding creators’ rights, we must also vigorously encourage innovation, preserve cultural diversity, and foster a healthy, orderly, and sustainable development of the cultural ecosystem in the digital era.
