The Evolution and the Limits of the Copyright Protection in the Global Information Society
Andruško, Alena
Copyright law is one of the branches of law that has become, with the development of the Internet, the center of interest for different types of stakeholders in the global information society. With the evolution of "Web 2.0", sometimes called the "Participative Web", represented by user-generated content (UGC), and also with the evolution of peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing and recently cyberlockers, the effectiveness of copyright protection online has become a problem where solutions can be found only with difficulty. Online copyright infringement is a complex phenomenon with a multiplicity of contributing factors. To see and understand these factors one must not only know and understand the territorial and international legal rules governing copyright, but also know and understand the online ecosystem in which copyright infringement takes place, which is impossible without knowing the history, evolution and technical background of the Internet. Only a complex knowledge and understanding of the whole issue enables one to see the full picture and ultimately reveals why the current copyright system sorely needs global review and reform.

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...

The Internet and the protection of intellectual property-the scope of liability of individual persons within the law of the European Comunities and the USA.
Kaspřík, Tomáš ; Císařová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Žikovská, Petra (referee)
THE INTERNET AND THE PROTECTION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY-THE SCOPE OF LIABILITY OF INDIVIDUAL PERSONS WITHIN THE LAW OF THE EUROPEAN COMUNITIES AND THE USA Internet service providers' (or online service providers') liability for the copyright infringement incurred by an individual user of the Internet is not an absolutely new issue anymore. Not later than in 1998, the U.S. legislators enact the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This amendment to the US copyright law introduces the concept of ,,safe harbor" that limits the online service providers' liability when they act only as a passive conduit and at the same time they do not have actual knowledge of the copyright infringement incurred through their systems. In the absence of such actual knowledge, they may not be aware of facts or circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent. Furthermore, an Online service provider is obliged upon obtaining such knowledge or awareness (e.g. by obtaining a notice), to act expeditiously to remove, or disable access to, the material. This requirement is well known as a ,,take down notice procedure". As a response to the U.S. regulation, in 2000, the European Commission and the European parliament pass the ,,so called" E-commerce directive regulating the liability of above mentioned subjects in...
