The application of copyright in film production
David, Ivan ; Křesťanová, Veronika (advisor) ; Holcová, Irena (referee)
The Application of Copyright in the Film Production (Abstract) This diploma thesis on a general basis describes and analyses the application of copyright in the film production. Because the copyright regulating the relationships coming from the process of production and exploitation of audiovisual work is the part of a broader group of norms comprised within the transbranchial "film law", this paper also indicates what other legal enactments - of civil law as well as of public law origin - have to be respected in the film production. The first part of the paper specify the basic terms and concepts which could be found in the film law as well as in the practical film production itself governed by this law. First of all, the paper defines the main areas of the film law, meaning copyright and its neighbouring rights, unfair competition law, media law, advertising law and protection of personality rights. Further on, it is specified what could be understood in legal theory by terms film, film work, audiovisual work, cinematographic work and underlying work. Next, the paper briefly explains the process of film production, its function, stages and forms, as well as the following process of the film distribution. Finally, this part of the paper defines and explains the main professions which are to be found within...

Film Law: A copyright perspective
David, Ivan ; Křesťanová, Veronika (advisor) ; Holcová, Irena (referee)
Film Law: A Copyright Perspective (Abstract) The rigorous work describes and analyses the film law, understood as a set of norms of public and private law, bound by common denominator in the form of direct or indirect regulation of production and exploitation of film, with a special focus on film copyright. The work focuses on contemporary and historical treatment of the film copyright in the Czech Republic, while in some parts performs its comparison with the film copyright in other countries, particularly in the United States of America. The first section defines the general mutual relations between film and law, especially in terms of copyright and the right to freedom of expression. Inter alia, it also deals with the question of film as "art", and how this issue plays a role in its legal regulation. The second part of the paper specify the basic terms and concepts which could be found in the film law as well as in the practical film production and distribution itself governed by this law. First of all, the paper defines the main areas of the film law in general, meaning copyright and its neighbouring rights, unfair competition law, media law, advertising law and protection of personality rights. Further on, it is specified what could be understood in legal theory by terms film, film work, audiovisual...
