The modernization of exclusive copyright regulation in the European Union revealed not only the problem of practical implementation, but also the demand for formulating a theoretical approach to the reconceptualization of exclusive copyright regulation in the European Union according to the operating principles of the European Union's creative industry. This article analyses problematic aspects of the modernization of exclusive copyright regulation in the European Union, and the relationship between these aspects and theoretical approaches to the modernization of exclusive copyright regulation in the European Union. This research aims to reveal peculiarities of the deconstruction theory of lawmaking and evaluate the applicability of this approach regarding the effective modernization of exclusive copyright regulation in the European Union. Together with the tendency of European Union lawmaking institutions to follow the doctrinal approach in the field of modernization of exclusive copyright regulation, the prevailing empirical and doctrinal provisions of the lawmaking doctrine on the modernization of exclusive copyright are deficient in their accommodation of the regulation of exclusive copyright in accordance with the European Union's digital creative industry. Deconstruction theory provides these premises by concentrating doctrinal and empirical perspectives on changes in the regulation of exclusive copyright in the European Union, for compliance with the concept of a modern European Union digital creative industry. ; Europos Sąjungoje atliktas teisinio reglamentavimo modernizavimas išimtinių autorių teisių srityje ne tik atskleidė praktinius šio reglamentavimo įgyvendinimo iššūkius, bet ir poreikį suformuoti teorinį požiūrį į išimtinių autorių teisių reglamentavimo konceptualizavimą pagal Europos Sąjungos skaitmeninės kūrybinės industrijos veikimo principus. Straipsnyje nagrinėjami išimtinių autorių teisių reglamentavimo modernizavimo Europos Sąjungoje probleminiai aspektai ir jų santykis su teoriniais požiūriais į išimtinių autorių teisių reglamentavimo Europos Sąjungoje modernizavimą. Tyrimu siekiama atskleisti rekonstrukcijose teorijos apie teisės modernizavimą ypatumus ir įvertinti šio požiūrio pritaikomumą efektyviam išimtinių autorių teisių Europos Sąjungoje reglamentavimo naujinimo procesui. Teisėkūros doktrinoje vyraujančio empirinio ir doktrininio požiūrių į išimtinių autorių teisių reglamentavimo modernizavimą nuostatos, kartu su Europos Sąjungos teisėkūros institucijų tendencija laikytis doktrininio požiūrio šių teisių modernizavimo srityje, stokoja prielaidų akomoduoti išimtinių autorių teisių reglamentavimą Europos Sąjungos skaitmeninei kūrybinei industrijai. Šias prielaidas pateikia dekonstrukcijos teorija, leidžianti sutelkti doktrinines ir empirines įžvalgas į išimtinių autorių teisių reglamentavimo Europos Sąjungoje pokyčius, pritaikytinus modernios Europos Sąjungos skaitmeninės kūrybinės industrijos koncepcijos atitikčiai.
