Čapek, Martin ; Holcová, Irena (advisor) ; Křesťanová, Veronika (referee)
Herein presented thesis focuses on a very complicated relationship between the Internet and selected law areas. Its aim is to emphasize the influence of information technologies on law; specifically it examines challenges which these technologies present to the copyright law and data protection. The thesis is divided into five chapters. The first and the second chapter with respect to the comprehensiveness of the topic, which they describe, do not have ambitions to analyse the issue in detail; they rather present it in broader and more general context. On the other hand chapter three and four discuss specific data protection and social network issue much deeper. The conclusion of the paper is considered as a certain summary and demonstration of author's thoughts and opinions towards analyzed issue. The first chapter aimed to describe specific environment of the Internet including its origin and development. This chapter also deals with law aspects of the Internet while it presents various considerations that characterise the relationship between law and the Internet, their mutual interaction and challenges they have to face in this environment. The second chapter analyses historical transformations of copyright law and put them in context with growing significance that copyright law undoubtedly has...

Copyright protection of software
Pech, Štěpán ; Holcová, Irena (advisor) ; Křesťanová, Veronika (referee)
The goal of this diploma thesis is to provide an overview of the increasingly more important world of copyright protection as it concerns computer programs. The focus of this overview being primarily that of the national law of the Czech Republic, however this diploma thesis takes into account international law where applicable as well. The thesis begins with an introduction into the very concept of copyright law, the definition of a copyrightable work and that of computer programs and terms related therein. What follows is a brief account of the history of computer programs and computer programing in general as a basis for the following legal perspective into the matter. An international overview of the subject matter follows, including a look at key moments from an international perspective at the field of copyright protection of computer programs, including a brief overview of the Berne Convention, the TRIPS Agreement as well as aspects of European Law. Computer programs as subjects of copyright protection, including additional classification, are the basis of the next chapter, while an account of the specifics of authorship, co-authorship, collective works and works created under employment follows thereafter.

The Internet and copyright-the scope of liability of individual parties involved (webhosting, connection providers...) and modes of protection against piracy (identification and punishment of a pirate...)
Kvasnička, Filip ; Holcová, Irena (advisor) ; Křesťanová, Veronika (referee)
The main goal of this thesis is to analyse to what extent piracy on today's Internet is spread; who is responsible for unlawfully shared files from the legal point of view; how it is fought against copyright infringement; how it is possible to identify a person being responsible for copyright infringement and with what kind of punishment the person is to be charged. Moreover, this thesis focuses on in what way the issues mentioned above could develop and presents an outline of legislation changes which would lead to more effective copyright enforcing. The main reason why I have chosen the topic "The Internet and copyright - the scope of responsibility of particular subjects (webhosting, the Internet provider…) and means of protection against piracy (the pirate identification and their punishment…)" is that I find this law field very dynamic and likely to develop further, which makes it appropriate for my future career. What is more, I am close and interested in IT myself. I also believe that the real "boom" of lawsuits has not come to the Czech Republic yet resulting in a good opportunity. This work is divided into nine chapters, each chapter being split into several subchapters following the logical order. In the first chapter the reader is informed that piracy and fighting against it is not a...

Copyright protection of databases
Kohutová, Radka ; Holcová, Irena (advisor) ; Křesťanová, Veronika (referee)
NÁZEV DIPLOMOVÉ PRÁCE A JEJÍ RESUMÉ V JAZYCE ANGLICKÉM (ENGLISH SUMMARY) The name of the thesis: The Legal Protection of databases. What is the value of information? This is the crucial question that arises in relation to the legal protection of databases. The rise of new media created a brand new world that we labeled the information society and whose most valuable asset has become totally interconnected with quality and speed. Hand in hand with this rapid transformation came the power of digitalization, which has permitted the dramatic speeding up of the transfer of data and information, while offering an almost indefinite amount of storage space, consequently making unauthorized and unlawful copying of data simple and efficient. As a result the form of a database has been transformed. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have constantly influenced industry and commerce at all stages and levels and thus the development of the database industry has become crucial for the information society. In other words, society has literally become dependent on the use of different kinds of databases. We encounter them everywhere-from public listings, libraries, telephone listings to free-time activities such are sports databases. Nevertheless, progress in new technologies also carries the new threat of...

Selected legal aspects of software interoperability
Sršeň, Vladimír ; Holcová, Irena (advisor) ; Křesťanová, Veronika (referee)
The thesis discusses legal aspects of software interoperability, which is one of the basic requirements for the functioning of ICT. The main aim of the thesis is to provide a critical analysis of selected legal issues regarding software interoperability from the perspective of Czech as well as European law. The thesis consists of introduction, four chapters and conclusion. The first chapter describes the technical as well as economic aspects of software interoperability and specifies the basic terms. The second chapter outlines copyright protection of software in general, including its rationale, emphasizing that software copyright is based on economic principles which distinguishes it from traditional copyright. The third chapter analyses copyright protection of software interfaces, which are the parts of the program that provide interoperability. With regards to the rationale of software copyright, the thesis analyses decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Union, mainly in cases C- 393/09 (Bezpečnostní softwarová asociace - Svaz softwarové ochrany v Ministerstvo kultury) and C-406/10 (SAS Institute Inc. v World Programming Ltd.). With regards to copyright protection of interfaces, the thesis emphasises the importance of distinguishing between interface specifications and...
