Copyright protection for digital content on online platforms: A comparative study of Vietnamese and European Union law
Authors

Abstract
The rapid growth of the Internet and online
platforms has created major opportunities for the dissemination of digital
content, while at the same time posing serious challenges to copyright
protection. In recent years, Vietnam has gradually reformed its legal framework
by introducing platform liability mechanisms, notice-and-takedown procedures,
and conditional safe harbor provisions. By contrast, the European Union has
taken the lead with the 2019 Digital Single Market Directive and the 2022
Digital Services Act, establishing a comprehensive legal framework that
balances the protection of authors with users’ freedom of expression. A
comparison of the two systems shows that Vietnam has made significant progress
but still lags behind in terms of legal sophistication and the proactive
governance of platforms. In the future, Vietnam may draw on the EU’s experience
to further improve its copyright regime, ensuring a harmonious balance of
interests among authors, platforms, and the public.
