# Online Copyright Enforcement

## Discovering and Enforcing Copyright Online

Discovering an author’s rights online splits into two questions: how to prove authorship in a digital environment, and how to stop an infringement. The Georgian law answers both: the presumption of authorship (Article 10) and the deposit of the work at Sakpatenti (Article 9-1) prove provenance, while the forms of infringement (Article 58) and the public information of the collective-management organization (Article 66-10) give the instruments of enforcement. This page explains the whole chain of online protection.

### What does deposit give in an online dispute?

A dated piece of evidence: the certificate reinforces the presumption of authorship and fixes the chronology.

### Who protects an anonymous work?

The publisher whose name is indicated on the work — as the author’s representative until identity is revealed.

### What liability does a platform bear?

On failing to perform its statutory obligations it becomes an infringer — facing civil, administrative and criminal liability.

### Can the tariffs be verified?

Yes — the organization’s website makes ten categories of information public.

### What fee applies to deposit?

The fee is determined by a decree of the Government of Georgia.
