Download or read book Challenges of Copyright in the Digital Age written by Arpi Abovyan and published by Herbert Utz Verlag. This book was released on 2014-06-26 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The adaption of copyright law to the digital age is currently one of the EU’s main concerns regarding intellectual property. This thesis analyses whether European legislation in this field can be successfully implemented in the same way in countries with different levels of development. Taking the examples of Germany and Armenia will help to evaluate the problems of developed and transition countries concerning the challenges of copyright in the digital age. The comparison between these two countries shows that a one-size-fits-all-approach is not appropriate in the digital environment. The socio-economic situation and the legal environment of transition countries call for a different solution. In this respect the example of Armenia may be instructive for other transition countries as well, especially CIS countries. A recommendation for adopting a certain system for drafting European legislation in the future which will meet the needs of all countries, considering their social, economic and legal situation, has been developed in this thesis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multimedia products have experienced tremendous market success.

Irini Stamatoudi provides a comprehensive, comparative treatment of multimedia works and copyright protection in this clear and concise volume. A detailed introduction outlines the nature of the multimedia work, as well as the scope of existing legislation; separate chapters consider collections and compilations, databases, audiovisual works and computer programs (video games are here treated as a 'test case'). Stamatoudi then analyses issues of qualification, regime of protection, and offers a model for a European legislative solution. Copyright and Multimedia Products will interest academics and students, as well as practitioners and copyright policy makers.

Download or read book Copyright and Multimedia written by Julian Rodriguez Pardo and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology has affected a wide range of issues in our personal and professional lives. And in doing so it has opened the door for new legal questions, especially with regard to intellectual property and, more specifically, copyright. New legal questions have arisen with respect to the authorship of web pages, databases, computer programs, and, in general, multimedia work. Is this technology internationally protected? Can internet piracy be considered piracy? To whom does the copyright belong when more than one author exists? When is it necessary to resort to technical protection devices? By examining international laws, such as the WIPO treaties and EU law, this book offers a clear answer to these questions while focusing on how copyright does or does not protect new technology. It also examines alternative ways of protecting technologies that present the real possibility of appealing to patent and trademark law as well as an overview of the multimedia concept and the origins of copyright. This book's simple structure helps the reader to understand how to utilize current laws to protect one's work and offers an interesting and informative analysis of the subject.
Download or read book Electronic Document Delivery written by Gary Cleveland and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of information technologies such as public access catalogs and online databases has greatly enhanced access to information. The lack of automation in the area of document delivery, however, has created a large disparity between the speed with which citations are found and the provision of primary documents. This imbalance can potentially be overcome through electronic document delivery, the use of electronic documents, and the media needed to transmit them. The purpose of this study is to provide librarians with a basic resource for technologies and standards that have potential for use in electronic document delivery and to provide examples of how they may be used to perform that task. The study includes: (1) an examination of current document delivery systems and the problems that reduce speed and efficiency; (2) an overview of state-of-the-art and emerging technologies, including electronic document conversion and generation, optical storage, data communication, workstation, and printing technologies; (3) examples of how technologies described in the previous section can be integrated; (4) examples of projects that attempt to automate previously non-automated stages of document delivery and to link them in a single system; and (5) a discussion of issues involved in electronic document delivery, including intellectual property rights, scholarly communication, the outlook for developing nations, and other concerns.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Galileo corresponded with Kepler, the community of scientists has become increasingly international. A DNA sequence is as significant to a researcher in Novosibirsk as it is to one in Pasadena.

The committee makes recommendations about access to scientific data derived from public funding. The volume examines: Trends in the electronic transfer and management of scientific data. Pressure toward commercialization of scientific data, including the economic aspects of government dissemination of the data. The implications of proposed changes to intellectual property laws and the role of scientists in shaping legislative and legal solutions. Improving access to scientific data by and from the developing world.
