Digital copyright is not a legal term but is often used to describe those circumstances in which authorial works and neighbouring rights are created, used and disseminated within digital environments. Encompassed within this term are the specific legal frameworks that have developed to address both the making available of works in digital environments (many of which stem from the World Intellectual Property Organisation Copyright Treaty 1996) and the challenges of enforcing rights within the digital environment.
