Power of Open: Licence Creative Commons ve světě a v České republice
Iuridicum Remedium
V prosinci roku 2012 slavily licence Creative Commons celosvětově 10 let. U nás byl jejich český překlad představen na jaře roku 2009. Od té doby se staly dostupnější, srozumitelnější a byla posílena právní jistota autorů. Pracovní skupina se postupně proměnila a nyní, ve složení Iuridicum Remedium a Národní knihovna v roli propagátorů licencí a Masarykova univerzita v Brně v roli právního garanta, pracují na rozšiřování povědomí o licencích a také na adaptaci nových verzí do češtiny a českého právního prostředí. Zatím poslední je verze 4.0.

Free Licenses & Creative Commons: A Powerful Tool for Open Access Publishing in Grey Literature
Pejšová, Petra ; Vaska, Marcus
In today’s increasingly technologically savvy information society, “using remote access and free content to open doors for science students”, a statement made by NANSLO Lab director Daniel Branan (http://www.scoop.it/t/ava-openeducation), is yet another example of ongoing efforts to make information more openly and freely available and accessible. Although Branan focused his remarks on the scientific community, this applies to more than one specific subject field. Rather, scientists, teachers, artists, sociologists, programmers, as well as professionals from the arts industry and economics are increasingly becoming involved in sharing and reusing their work. Open content provides an opportunity to shorten the time for research to become available, not repeat research already conducted, have data to compare, collect backround information for a project, and numerous other possibilities. Despite the well-intentioned mandate of a Creative Commons license, the free distribution of an author’s work is still “governed by applicable copyright law.” (Wikipedia, n.d.) Jack Andraka, an advocate for the Open Access Movement, laments the disappointment that can occur due to publication and distribution restrictions: “I’ve seen so many great ideas get killed in the lab when my peers are stopped by closed access [to research articles]” (http://teamopen.cc/jack/). Open licencing is a strong instrument ensuring open access to research data.

This master dissertation "Czech Electronic Book Market -- Obstacles and Opportunities" analyzes Czech market with e-books. The aim is to provide a comprehensive overview of the current situation on the market in terms of technologies, distribution models and legal issues. It describes commercial, free and illegal sources in the market, including a description of digitisation projects in Czech libraries. The thesis also includes a theoretical introduction to e-books and their development in the past. Details are discussed, focusing on technology, modern electronic readers with electronic ink. For comparison, the thesis also analyzes the U.S. market with e-books. In analytical part the individual portals with e-books on the market, their supply and user interfaces are compared. The real example analyzes the costs of an e-book and its comparison to costs of a printed book. At the end of the thesis, alternative models of distribution requirements for establishment of a new portal with e-books are characterised, the Creative Commons licenses are described and the current trend of e-journals is mentioned. Finally, I suggest recommendations especially for sellers on the Czech market describe the advantages and disadvantages of e-books in terms of individual roles in the distribution model and estimate the future market development. More detailed information related to the comparison of different types of electronic ink, a list of electronic readers that are available on the Czech e-book market at this time and specific examples of various users' interfaces that are being used on Czech e-books portals can be found in Appendix.

Contemporary trends of internet services
Fišer, Jan ; Donát, Jiří (advisor) ; Gála, Libor (referee)
Internet has been a common part of our private and work-related lives for a rather long time, yet it doesn't seem this is going to change. On the contrary - the importance of Internet is steadily growing as well as number of it's users and only few technologies have similar impact on individuals or even whole businesses and industries. But Internet evolves as well and it is not the same that it was 10 years ago. Today, Internet is more than just email or static (business) presentation on the web; it's more an interactive medium and is often associated with so called "Web 2.0". Yet even this concept isn't likely to last forever. That's why I find important to focus on contemporary Internet trends and try to describe some of the most influential ones regarding the future, i.e. social networking, wiki systems and blogs, APIs and mashups, but also Creative Commons licences and possible solution to multiple online identity issue, the OpenID project. Although I'm going to use particular examples of services in order to describe some of the trends, I would like to avoid unnecessary details. I'm going to focus on features the services have in common, not just considering particular service categories, but across the Internet as a whole as well. The aim is to create a survey, evaluation of contemporary Internet services and describe some approaches to solving specific issues related to this environment. Information resources will be mostly technologically oriented servers, blogs and other contemporary trends or particular product related websites. Obviously I'm going to embed my personal experience as well.

Zadejte název práce
Selep, Ján ; Bartoň, Petr (advisor) ; Bolcha, Peter (referee)
Creative Commons (CC) organization released in 2003 six licenses, which take part of the copyright protection and let other parts fall in the public domain. Consequently, they lower the price of works for future works (inputs) and as an outcome increase creativity and number of works created. On the other hand, CC licenses can serve also as a substitutes to the pure copyright. This thesis examine the impact by analysing United States copyright registration and CC linkback data. The results show insignificance of CC licenses impact on pure copyright licenses. Based on the results I found weak evidence for complementary relationship between the two. Finally, I show that there is no difference between the types of CC licenses as an determinants of number of pure copyright licenses.
