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...

With the rise of Internet, Web and new media technologies come increased opportunities for audience to recreate media content and influence its flow across different media platforms. The fan as a demanding yet enthusiastic consumer has become a centrepiece of media industries' marketing strategies. On the one hand, this qualitative change often described as participatory culture means a giant leap forward for fans, who can now serve new roles within the media industry. On the other, it represents a potential exploitation of media users, as unpaid volunteers do the labour professionals are paid for. This study investigates this tension in a case of videogame fans.
