Abstract
The article discusses the situation of copyright infringement in the Internet space in Vietnam. According to the researchers, the problem of piracy in the digital environment in Vietnam is acute and difficult to resolve. The authors disclosed the causes that provoked the current situation. Firstly, the copyright holder cannot prove that he is the owner of the work under copyright, or his actual damage; secondly, he cannot detect the violation of his rights; thirdly, illegal content remains too in demand. In order to resolve these obstacles, according to the authors, it is advisable to introduce such legal measures as the Three strikes policy and the provisions of Directive 2001/29/EC.
