The substance of creativity, resulting from intellectual effort and sensory reflection, is considered one of the noble practices. It is among the most honorable cultural practices that strengthen the pillars of civilizational development in society, forming the basis for building an advanced state in the present and future. The measure of a nation's progress has become what it presents and produces in terms of intellectual creations. The creator of an idea has the right to enjoy the fruits of their thought, both materially and morally. Therefore, nations have long sought to protect ideas and grant the creator the exclusive right to exploit them economically. However, in the current era, scientific development has produced numerous intellectual works and creations worthy of legal protection, given the existence of the conditions for such protection. Among these works is creative content in multimedia, a digital work that is circulated among individuals with utmost ease and speed, not only within a country but across the globe. It is self-evident that every rights holder of an intellectual work, including multimedia, has moral and material rights, and they alone have the right to monopolize these rights, which are vulnerable to risks, especially in light of the ongoing digital development.

The definition of this work has sparked significant jurisprudential debate in the legal field, which has been reflected in its legal classification. Furthermore, the creation and production of this work cost its owner a great deal of time, effort, and considerable financial resources, making it of great material value and in need of civil protection from the violations it may face when circulated and published on the international information network. Despite this development in the field of digital works, especially multimedia, legislative development has not kept pace to protect it from infringements. In addition to the requirement of innovation and the expression of creativity in multimedia, the sheer size of the investment in it may be sufficient for its civil protection. This civil protection does not follow a single pattern but goes through several stages. Some of it is preventative (precautionary protection), such as the rights holder of a multimedia work avoiding civil liability issues from the outset. This protection is represented by certain administrative procedures to establish the rights holder's rights, such as depositing the work with the competent authorities for legal deposit. There is also remedial civil protection, which comes after the damage has occurred and addresses it by removing the harm from the affected party, taking several necessary forms to eliminate the damage. This is done in accordance with the general rules of civil law, which is considered a reference for special laws that do not have a specific provision to address certain cases.
