Summary/Abstract: The developments in technology and even the gadgets are a constant challenge to the legislation on copyright. Whether we talkabout the Internet and peer-to-peer, be it upload or download, all revolve around the holder's right to authorize the use of the protected work. The article analyzed the situation of private copying in terms of collecting and distributing levies. Were reviewed the latest problems arose: cloud storage and the "crisis" of collective management. Some solutions are recommended: revitalization of the cultural role of collecting societies, redefining private copying, having in the view also P2P sharing, and the implementation of the recommendations from the Vitorino report.
