Tuláček, Jan ; Kříž, Jan (advisor) ; Srstka, Jiří (referee) ; Dobřichovský, Tomáš (referee)
132 The Concept of a Work in Copyright Law Abstract The theme of the work is the author's creation , it's concept in the legal definition and further in the meta-legal sense,ie as defined by the authors's work of art,on the one hand by artists ,on the other by artistic institutions . And, the related delimitation of this concept,it's limits or extensions.On the one hand ,the concept of an author's work seems to be expanding in practice,on the other hand, it narrows,as i will explain. This means that I must first take a closer look at the concept of a work in the sense of copyright law.It is a central concept of the entire copyright law,however ,and perhaps because of this,its definition under this law is very vague. After the introduction ,where I tried to think about the definition and practical possibilities of legal science ,in the 1 Chapter I deal with the legal definition of the concept of the work in general and then the concept of the author's work. I think its legal definition, to a certain extent,revolves around a circle,the author 's work is the result of the author's creative activity and the author is the person creating the author's work.

An Author's Right in the Information Society and Across the Internal European Union Market
Mikita, Peter ; Kříž, Jan (advisor) ; Srstka, Jiří (referee) ; Hendrychová, Michaela (referee)
Copyright law is a special category of civil law which, with the upswing of the Internet, has become important for different types of stakeholders in the global information society. The 'participative web' operates with content generated by users. This user-generated content has often disputable origins in terms of copyright clearance. The Internet has opened the possibility for developing new forms of communication between anonymous or individual users who are not easily identifiable. Especially peer-to-peer file sharing and recently the information services offered and operated by the so-called 'cyberlockers' are the reason of questioning the role of copyright protection online which needs a beneficial solution. Copyright infringement in the era of information society is a complex phenomenon with a multiplicity of contributing factors like the importance of information data with big business potential, personal attitudes shown by internet users towards the value and scarcity of intellectual property, or legal responsibility of internet service providers (ISP) who paradoxically act from the safety of the so-called safe harbours as intermediaries of information exchange, representing a new element in the communication chain between rights holders and users. Commercial and business models operating...

Legal Protecion of Artistic Performance
Leška, Rudolf ; Kříž, Jan (advisor) ; Dobřichovský, Tomáš (referee) ; Srstka, Jiří (referee)
The thesis outlines the law of performers' rights, including its historical and theoretical background, relation to other areas of law, explanation of moral and economic rights of performers, problems of contractual law and issues related to the enforcement of rights. The core of the thesis lies in analyses of the terminology of artistic performances (including the performances of variety and circus artists) and the notion of a performer, the borders between protected and unprotected performances and the relation to a work of art, as well as in practical issues related to the collectively delivered performances by the members of an ensemble and their representation by a so-called joint representative. The thesis focuses on those aspects which are specific to performers or which cause particular difficulties in practical application; in these cases, the author offers his own solutions.

Intellectual Property Rights in the Theatre Practice Context
Hájková, Martina ; SRSTKA, Jiří (advisor) ; JAKL, Ladislav (referee)
This master thesis is focused on the intellectual property rights in the context of theatre practice. Its aim is to analyse the area of intellectual property rights and to show that intellectual property rights do not end with copyright, but it is just a beginning.
The results are answers to following research questions: What are intellectual property rights and what does this term include? How are intellectual property rights applicable within the theatre practice? What are the basic types of protection when these rights are violated in the theatre / by theatre?
The diploma thesis is composed of three main chapters, in which I progressively try to find answers to the above mentioned research questions. The first chapter is focused on the intellectual property rights and on their definition, including their terminological distinction from similar definitions, and analysis of that area. The second chapter introduces selected areas of intellectual property rights that are relevant for the theatre practice, and these selected areas are illustrated by examples. The third and last chapter outlines some of the basic mechanisms in the protection of intellectual property rights.
The conclusion summarizes the findings and on their basis it tries to answer the research questions on their basis.
