Considering the role that digital products play in modern trading, business and life, it is of crucial importance to understand what digital products are, only after that is it possible to credibly talk about classification and ultimately about dealing with them. Given that the scope and reach of digital products is on a scale that was before unimaginable, as the most egregious examples of dealing with them on a wide scale, we will contemplate those of the EU and USA as well as certain other relevant and interesting examples. When it comes to specific dealing with digital products in the sense of this discourse, the decision regarding which legal framework will govern the trading thereof is crucial. Prior to this step, the digital product in question needs to be qualified, keeping this in mind, relevant provisions of GATT and GATS will be considered, which regulate trade in goods and services, that will further determine all the fundamentals and ultimately the profitability of the product itself. Many elements could be characterized as having a role in determining the legal framework that will be used, but the method of delivery as well as the very nature of the product are simply indispensable in any serious discussion about digital products. Finally, in order to complete this overview, digital content is considered, i.e. it's role in relation to digital products.
