Jansa, Petr ; Holcová, Irena (referee) ; Křesťanová, Veronika (referee)
103 Resumé / English summary Title of the thesis: Legal aspects of implementing Creative Commons project in the Czech Republic Summary: The main topics of this master thesis are Creative Commons public licenses and legal questions arising in connection with their porting to the Czech legal system, i.e. creating Czech versions of these licenses that mirror the spirit of the original licenses while reflecting the particularities of Czech copyright and Czech law in general. Since public licenses are not yet an established concept in the Czech Republic, the first part of this paper (Chapter 2) introduces several public licenses (presented license) to create a sufficient background. Beside the main goals and features of the Creative Commons (CC) license system, GNU General Public License (GPL), GNU Free Documentation License (FDL) and Creative Archive License (CA) are presented in a similar way and a comparison of these licenses follows on the level of license elements, i.e. the main characteristics that determine the scope of the individual licenses. The aim of Chapter 3 is to produce a legal definition of public licenses. Based on the joint features of the discussed licenses (inductive approach), the following definition emerged: a license that is (i) non-exclusive, (ii) royalty-free, (iii) which the copyright...

Software piracy
Metelec, Karel ; Dobřichovský, Tomáš (advisor) ; Císařová, Zuzana (referee)
69 Software Piracy As this thesis suggests, it is possible to only speculate about further development in the sphere of software piracy. While in the past households were proud of Internet access whose connectivity hardly exceeded 56kbps, information technology now develops at an incredible pace and organisations such as BSA can hardly measure up with it. Nowadays, downloading files via the Internet is quite an easy job for any average user and in my opinion it is beyond the capacity of any organisation to call on all these Internet users and frighten them, or to conduct with them expensive legal proceedings with uncertain and vague results. In my thesis I try to explain that the result of efforts in this respect should be, above all, co-operation amongst the relevant organisations, the government, software piracy specialists and software producers and that all these stakeholders should in particular focus on public education, trying to explain the basics of this problem, and on psychological prevention. As the use of the Internet expands, so does software piracy. It is better to change this situation by precise legislative provisions, on which the authors will be able to rely firmly, rather than by repression. This thesis is not intended to bring any fundamentally new view of copyright or a new view of the...

Rožánek, Petr ; Plíva, Stanislav (advisor) ; Liška, Petr (referee)
Extend of liability for damage in the Commercial Code The general private legal regulation of liability for damage is stipulated in the Civil Code (hereinafter referred to as "ObčZ"). The Commercial Code (hereinafter referred to as "ObchZ") also contains some provisions regulating damages, mainly those for breach of contractual obligations and obligations prescribed by the Commercial Code. This regulation of damages shall be used in relations governed by it as a matter of priority. In order to claim damages according to the Commercial Code, all the following basic preconditions shall be met: - occurrence of damage - breach of legal obligation - causal relation between occurrence of damage and breach of legal obligation And at the same time - there are no circumstances excluding liability for breach of obligations The Commercial Code stipulates the liability for damage as no-fault liability. It means that the liability relation is not conditioned by fault and occurrence of the above presumptions is enough. Pursuant to s. 379 of ObchZ, "damage" means actual damage and loss profit. Both judicial practice and legal theory consider actual damage as damage to property in the form of reduction of property of an injured party as a result of an event causing damage. "Lost profit" means in judicial practice damage,...

Trusts are specific common law legal concepts which have no equivalent in legislation of countries with continental legal system.
