Summary/Abstract: The idea of copyright protection arose from the practical need to protect the first publishers of printed editions of copyrighted works from unfair competition. On the basis of the protection of publishers' interests, author's right was created, and publishers protected their interests primarily through contractual provisions. However, the wheel of history has once again brought publishers to the forefront, this time recognizing their protection in the form of related rights, i.e. rights related to copyright. The paper analyzes the forms of related rights protection enjoyed by publishers. These are several special forms of protection that exist in domestic and comparative law, and are subsumed under the rights of publishers. Special attention is paid to the position of publishers in the digital environment, i.e. on the Internet, especially taking into account the provisions of the recently adopted Directive on Copyright and Related Rights in the Digital Single Market, which provides a special form of related right for publishers of press publications.
