Ryšávková, Veronika ; Wünschová Pujmanová, Alexandra (referee) ; Křesťanová, Veronika (referee)
This rigorous thesis deals with the copyright issues related to practice of TV companies emphasizing the specific area of TV news and journalism. It presents a basic survey of methods applied by TV stations to ensure the requirements of the copyright law for a copyright protection of the works which are supposed to be used. A difference is made between the use on the basis of a contract, above others through a standard license contract or a contract for work, and a non- contractual use on base of a free licence and quotations used most frequently in the sphere of reporting and journalism. Even the regime of collective management of copyrights is described, considering in particular audiovisual works and their individual components. In the context of the private law recodification with its foreseen effectivity from 1 January 2014 this thesis is also pursuing both direct and indirect impacts of the new civil code in the field of copyright. On a theoretical level, it deals with issues which should be resolved in connection with this significant legislative change.

Randárová, Jitka ; Wünschová Pujmanová, Alexandra (advisor) ; Žikovská, Petra (referee)
The purpose of the thesis is to analyse the collective administration of copyright and neighbouring and relating rights, as the very title suggests. Based on the yearlong Erasmus stay in Paris, I decided to compare the Czech legislation with the legal system of France. Following after the opening, the second chapter is meant to be informative and should provide an explanation of basic concepts which the reader encounters at work. Third chapter, by a relatively brief section, describes the legal anchoring of collective administration in both jurisdictions. The fourth chapter, which is structured thematically rather than chronologically, introduces readers to the historical development of the Institute of collective management. The concept of collective administrator and analysis of its origin and status of the legal system are to be found in the fifth chapter. Chapters six and seven have an identical theme - control. The main focus is on the different types of external and internal statutory control of collective administrators. First of all, it is an external control exercised by the Ministry of Culture. The same principle of control is also applied in the French legislation, but there is a possibility of a much wider control mechanisms. Chapter eight concentrates on the core object of collective...
