Web 2.0 has gained enormous momentum in recent years, and has reached most areas in entertainment, research, business, science, and beyond. It is characterized by a move from a read-only Web to a read-write Web, where users contribute content in a variety of forms.

This paper tries to pinpoint core legal issues, the way they are so far treated, and what is needed for improving the situation.
