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...

53 14. Název diplomové práce v angličtině - Diploma Thesis Title Peer to Peer Networks and Copyright Law 15. Resumé v anglickém jazyce - English Summary Peer to Peer Networks and Copyright Law Peer to peer networks are used to share various types of content within the environment of the Internet. The content shared via peer to peer networks comprises in a vast majority of copyrighted materials such as music, movies and computer programs. The aim of this thesis is to assess the behaviour of peer to peer network users and other subjects who are involved from the perspective of copyright law. In the Czech Republic, no special legal regulation exists on the use of copyrighted works on the Internet. Therefore, this assessment of the legal conformity of behaviour of all involved subjects shall be based on the general legal regulation of copyrights, particularly Act no. 121/2000 Coll., the Copyright Act, as amended.

Slípková, Nina ; Křesťanová, Veronika (advisor) ; Holcová, Irena (referee)
Coypright Law in Western Civilization. History, International and European Context, Coypright Systems. What are the main aspects of copyright law in Western civilization? This is the main question the thesis is concerned with. The diversity of social reality makes it difficult to answer the problem with looking at it from only legal perspective. Therefore the answers are provided through following means. First, the problem of copyright is regarded from a historical perspective, showing the origins of copyright, its development through the system of privileges and the establishment of a statutory protection. The differences between the civil law and common law are pointed out by explaining the natural rights theory and the concept of moral rights leading further to monist and dualist theories that were very influential within the European copyright system. Second, the international protection, the European Union protection and the main problems and trends of the copyright problematics are targeted as means to demonstrate the different approaches evolving from different principles of the two legal traditions. The development from national to international protection structures is described and so are the main treaties, organizations and provisions, illustrating the differences, similarities and changes in the...
