Abstract
The protection of consumer as a weaker contractual party can be considered an evergreen issue of modern law. As the population, economy, and technological level of European states grows, the consumers are offered more and more types of goods and sevices. The diversity of these products also means diversity in contracts, more contractual issues unanswered by law, and more ways to eventually rob the consumer of their law-given rights. This phenomenon is more apparent in digital market than anywhere else, since it is still mostly unregulated by laws specifically tailored to the field. European Union currently has an initiative in both consumer rights and digital market legislature. Besides that, there has been an ongoing discussion in the Czech Republic and other countries of the EU about unification of all consumer law into one Consumer code. The puropose of this article is to describe what digital content is and how the consumer is protected in its supply, with focus on the new regulations in the scope of the upcoming Directive on supply of digital content. The possibility of an unified Consumer code will also be examined withing the context of upcoming new regulation.
