The Development of Copyright Law In Photography Since 1948
Adamovský, Michal ; Srstka, Jiří (advisor) ; Žikovská, Petra (referee)
This work is concerned with the historical development of copyright issues in the field of photography since 1948. Its goal is to search for concrete connections in the development of photographic copyrights worldwide, and in the local Czech context. Currently, photography touches all aspects of human activity, and because of the this, a historical analysis of this development of protection is necessary to completely understand photography?s current, contemporary position and direction. For this reason, several historical court cases have been included, which have been key in the fight to legitimize photography as an art, and crucial in giving legal recognition to the photographer as an author of a work, protected by law.
