Abstract The Internet’s capability of information storing and presenting has made it a suitable medium and technique for the art world, giving rise to different forms of digital art, including both the “Net Art” and “Art on the Net”. The addition of digital and computational elements to the art has brought opportunities and disruptions not only to the evolution of art history, but also to the regulation and practice of intellectual property issues, among which copyright comes to be the most important. In the face of the new challenges, the cultural institution community is well-advised to take positive actions and be more careful when addressing complex conflicts concerning the rights of digital arts.
