Fan art in official promotion of video games
Veselá, Veronika ; Švelch, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Nečas, Vlastimil (referee)
With the rise of Internet, Web and new media technologies come increased opportunities for audience to recreate media content and influence its flow across different media platforms. The fan as a demanding yet enthusiastic consumer has become a centrepiece of media industries' marketing strategies. On the one hand, this qualitative change often described as participatory culture means a giant leap forward for fans, who can now serve new roles within the media industry. On the other, it represents a potential exploitation of media users, as unpaid volunteers do the labour professionals are paid for. This study investigates this tension in a case of videogame fans. On their official websites, videogame developers encourage fans to contribute with their fan art harnessing fan creativity for their advertising purposes. Convergence culture raises conflicts and compromises between creators of fan art (fan artists), and the owners of the copyrighted works they appropriate (game companies). This study addresses three main issues: (1) the way and circumstances under which game companies are displaying fan art on their official websites, (2) how fans understand the tensions between empowerment and exploitation, how do they address the issue of free labour, (3) how fans view issues concerning intellectual property...
An outline of special regimes of protection with respect to individual types of copyrighted works including the comparison with the general protection regime
Lukenda, Milan ; Wünschová Pujmanová, Alexandra (advisor) ; Císařová, Zuzana (referee)
Overview of special protection regimes of copyright works including the comparison with the general protection regime Object and purpose of this work is to explore the special protection regimes of copyright works. But before I start to deal with these regimes, I find necessary to, at least in brief, outline the historical development and basic concepts of copyright law. In my opinion special protection regimes can not be examined without knowledge of these basics. In the next chapter, I will discuss the general protection regime of copyright works. I think it is a sort of bridge between first general chapters on one side and specialities of special protection regimes of copyright works on the other. Copyright law has traditionally belong to private law, so I will explore different interventions to author rights and the means of protection, typically aimed at compensating injured. However, certain aspects of copyright law are so important to society that it is protected by criminal and administraticve means, and those belong to public law. For this area is typical preventive repressive method of solving infringements. Thus compensating injured is on the second place, the primary is to protect society from such undesirable phenomena. In the last part of this work, I'll get to the very core of this work,...
Rights of producers of audio and audiovisual recordings
Hašek, Ivan ; Křesťanová, Veronika (advisor) ; Holcová, Irena (referee)
The subject of my thesis is The Rights of Producers of Phonograms (Sound Recordings) and Films. I have chosen this topic because of my fondness for music and for media that carry such recordings. The Rights of Producers are denominated as rights related (to Copyright) because of the absence of creativity and individuality. The term neighbouring rights is exactly equivalent. In the first chapter I provide reader with basic terms and a concept of continental copyright law as well as a comparison with common law copyright system. These two law systems are essentially important to comprehend the rights of producers in general and to have basic overview on their role in global society and economy. Both authors' rights and related rights are copyrights in the sense of common law. The second chapter analyses international law on this subject. I describe the relationship between czech national law and international law. Although the majority of international agreements is phrased generally, mentioned agreements have impact on legislations of contracting parties. They form a part of czech law since their ratification and publication in Collection of Laws. The important agreements on the subject are Rome Convention, Geneva Convention, TRIPS Agreement and WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty. In addition, I...

Bednář, Leoš ; Křesťanová, Veronika (advisor) ; Holcová, Irena (referee)
Audiovisual Works with Reference to Film Co-productions - Summary: The audiovisual works are the main theme of this thesis. I have chosen this theme, because these works are very important for our society and we can not ignore them. We have to consider this segment of our society from various and different perspectives. I mean the various branches of law, film theory, history, financing (economics). It is multidisciplinary area and it contains cultural, social, economical, educational and also international points, which help us to improve and simplify international and multicultural structures and relationships. The thesis is divided into six chapters. Chapter One is introductory and provides basic identification with the topic of the thesis. Chapter Two focuses on general definition of the words "audiovisual work". We have to define this type of work in legal terms and also in the other "interdisciplinary" terms. Chapter Three recalls the fact that this issue must be seen from the historical point of view. We have to study historical copyright law, publications from 30s and 40s of the twentieth century dealing with film law and also law journals from this time period (e.g. "Soutěž a tvorba"). These publications and journals significantly contributed to this theme in the discussion about various aspects of...

Frič, Antonín ; Holcová, Irena (advisor) ; Křesťanová, Veronika (referee)
The Internet and copyright - modes of the use and scope of protection of the work (traditional usage, peer-to-peer networks, email...) The purpose of my thesis is to analyse the relation between the internet and copyright. The aim of the thesis is to analyse modes of the use (traditional usage, peer-to- peer networks, inking, e-mail...) and scope of protection of the work on the internet from the legal point of view and also to explore new ways, alternatives and potential changes of this conception. The reason for my research is the fact, that the internet is new, dynamic, and one of the most important phenomena of the current interconnected world and copyright hardly keeps up with it. The thesis consists of five chapters, each of them dealing with different aspects of copyright on the internet. Chapter One is introductory and defines basic terminology used in the thesis. Firstly, it describes the internet as a legal term and provides a short view of its history. The second term I am dealing with in this chapter is copyright - its principles, historical background and basic sources of copyright law including international, European and Czech law. Chapter Two examines relevant Czech legislation on copyright. The chapter is subdivided into two parts. Part One focuses on the work and its types and...

It is primarily an analysis of how individual subjects may be responsible for violations of copyright rules. The aim of this thesis was not complete processing of all relevant aspects of piracy and the resulting responsibilities, but in particular to highlight the most topical issues discussed. I chose the topic because of personal interest to study the dynamically developing field of information technology law and intellectual property law. The work is divided into eight chapters, each dealing with a problem with this topic. The first two chapters talk about Internet in general and the ability this the Internet law to push through the Internet. Mentioned are mainly questions the legitimacy of law on the Internet, the reasons for the existence of the Internet law and especially the importance of copyright protection.
