Sažetak
Fast development of ICT and Internet affects the work of cultural sector. The paper analyses how the new context that was brought about by extensive application of digital technologies and networks affects the work of cultural sector and implications this has on distribution and consumption of cultural goods. New situation is defined by different elements that shape concrete services - not only at the level of software applications whose possibilities define them, but also the changed characteristics of digital information (new media), as well as the legislation on copyright that has to resolve new issues that digital context creates. The digital environment enables users to simultaneously access same information resource and information providers have established new practice of licensing instead of selling. This has effect on legal principles such as fair use and first sale that protect our public domain. The author warns that networks and digital technologies have posed new challenges - they can enable easier exchange of information and cooperation or enforce tighter control systems over access to information and cultural goods. Commodification of culture changes the way creators work, but it could also affect the civic liberties like right to information, free speech and creative freedom. The choices we make through legislation and policies will affect how culture and e-culture is produced and consumed and consequently in what kind of information society shall we live.
