Abstract

The present article is motivated by the growing interest in the problem of copyright limitation and the comparatively low interest in the problem of legal system connections. Despite the fact that differences in regulation have been recognised for a long period of time, there is still no harmonization in the field. Although recent research works are numerous, it is still not agreed whether common law family or continental law family is better for international use. The issue at hand is influenced by the significant importance of the internet and electronic commerce. Moreover, it addresses the more fundamental question of the division of legal systems. This paper analyses both approaches; shows doctrinal differences in copyright limitation principles; reveals the connection between regulatory frames and existing legal systems; describes the current and potential pitfalls of framework clashes; and identifies modern global legal trends. The findings demonstrate the dependence of recent legal decisions and norms on the philosophical approach applied in a country. In addition, the paper suggests different steps and models of regulatory unification. The theoretical contribution of the work can help the development of new copyright limitation schemes and harmonize international law on this issue
