Review

Annotation. The article analyzes the criminal law of foreign countries, which reflect the main types of forms of encroachments on objects of copyright and related rights. It has been established that the criminal responsibility for the above-mentioned acts was foreseen in the most countries of the world.

The purpose of the article is to investigate the issue of criminal responsibility for the most basic typical forms of compliance of copyright and associated rights over the foreign legislation.

Extremely widespread forms of socially dangerous encroachments on copyright objects are «appropriation of authorship», «plagiarism» and «coercion to co-authorship». Offenses that encroach on copyright objects are usually placed in the sections «Crimes against the constitutional rights and freedoms of man and citizen», «Crimes against property», and in some cases are placed in a separate section «Crimes against Intellectual Property». Analysis of the criminal legislation of foreign countries suggests that the typical forms of encroachments on objects of copyright and related rights include acts related to: a) the illegal entry into the circulation of objects of copyright and related rights contrary to the established legislation procedure. These types of encroachments are represented by the following wording of the criminal law of foreign law: the wording indicating the act of import or other movement of objects of copyright and related rights (for example, transportation, movement, import, export, etc.); wording indicating acts concerning the acquisition and storage of objects that could not be in circulation (in particular, acquisition, storage, conscious possession for the purpose of trade or inclusion in trade, illicitly created objects, goods, including if they were imported, receiving etc.); the wording indicating the acts related to the introduction of objects to commodity circulation or the commission of any actions for the purpose of further introduction into circulation, including acts concerning the putting into circulation of equipment for the illegal creation of copyright and related rights objects (for example, the use of objects without a check mark and in the absence of author’s contracts; introduction into business turnover; introduction into circulation; change, removal from copies of objects of symbols and signs of protection of rights etc.); b) illegal production (creation) and / or illegal use of such objects. The following wording of the criminal law provisions refers to these attacks: the wording which denotes actions related to the illegal creation of the object of intellectual property rights, the introduction of certain changes to the object or information about the object, as well as acts of unlawful gain rights to the object (for example, attribution or coercion, plagiarism, reproduction, copying, forgery or imitation etc.); wording that denotes acts of unlawful use and distribution of objects (in particular, illegal use, illegal distribution, sale or offer for sale, sales etc.); general wording indicating any of the above-mentioned encroachments, as well as other attacks on the objects of copyright and related rights (for example violation of the law, any other form of use of objects, other infringement of rights, violation of any which of the rights etc.).
