Ondřej Elterlein Liability of the information society service provider diplomová práce, 2010/2011 Abstract The creation and the development of the Internet is without doubts one of the key moments not only of the technological, but also of the social and informational development of the mankind. The Internet had developed from the technological tool into the socio- technical phenomenon. For many people, including me, the Internet has become the ultimately prevailing means of the communication, which in the recent years has exponentially raised the number of its users and thus has gained the position of the most important mass medium of today's world. We do not speak only of communication when talking about the Internet, but we must also mention the informational role of it as well as that the Internet means also the centre of entertainment, business place and the place of social interaction. Nevertheless the Internet had changed since the very beginning of it. This development is known as the evolution and turn from the site called Web 1.0 to the site called Web 2.0.

A comparison of copyright protection of authors and performing artists
Martinka, Marek ; Křesťanová, Veronika (advisor) ; Holcová, Irena (referee)
A comparison of copyright protection of authors and performing artists The aim of this thesis is to compare the legal regulation of the authors' rights in their works and the performing artists' rights in their performances as it arises from the Czech Copyright Act. I have chosen this topic because it requires profound study of the Copyright Act, good understanding of most of its provisions and their analysis. In my opinion, this kind of research could be very useful in my upcoming profession. Besides it seems to be quiet an actual theme, as for example the term of protection of these rights is largely discussed of late. The structure of this paper is following. The first three chapters are introducing the main characteristics of the authors' and performing artists' rights, their development and the main sources. Other chapters are dealing with the comparison of the protection itself. I examine the aspects I consider to be crucial. It is the subject of the rights, the object, moral and economic rights, the criterions of the protection, the contractual and non-contractual obligations and the term of protection. Two final chapters are focused on the collective management and the infringement of copyright. It can be concluded that the protection of the performing artists' rights is a bit weaker. It is...
