Defying the pessimistic vision heralding the end of the cinema, culture and art, the author points to the Internet as a new manner in which man communes with art, both as its vehicle and a medium of presentation. He writes about such multimedia projects as Peter Greenaway's giant Tulse Luper Suitcasses but first of all focuses on animation that has dominated film production on the Internet. The U.S. projects discussed by author are animated series for adults ('Mr. Wong' and 'Queer Duck') or political satires ('This Land' by Gregg and Evan Spiridellis, Jason Windsor's 'The End of the World'). Author points out that Russia is also an active centre of satire. Mariusz Wilczynski is one of Polish animated film artists.

The article introduces the joint project of Latvian art history on the Internet. Its motivation is derived from the fact that no comprehensive and properly illustrated information on Latvian art is available on the Internet, although it is the most effective means of transmitting information. Also information in English on the subject is very incomplete and narrow in printed sources as well. The concept of art history in this project is based on the art-historical canon. 'Canon' should not be conceived only in the axiological sense as a selection and presentation of the highest artistic values but also as the display of artefacts typical of a particular period. The issue of exposition is also important - balancing the information intended for specialists and that which is aimed at a wider public, as well as combining the textual part with a visually attractive presentation of images.

The birth of the Internet was a revolution not only in communications and information flow; the revolutionary technical capabilities of the Internet meant also the beginning of electronic trade open to entrepreneurs from all over the world. Via various Internet auction sites, the contemporary art sellers and buyers have almost unlimited access to auction quotations and economic analyses concerning trade in works of art. Through e-shops, e-galleries, e-antiquity shops and e-auction houses the web users can also buy, sell, pawn and lease works of art. Noticing the growing popularity of e-commerce, traditional auction houses, including such universal potentates as Christie's and Sotheby's, have established their own Internet auction sites and began to organise e-auctions of works of art. It turned out relatively soon, however, that the clientele of auction houses was none too willing to purchase their works of art online. On the other hand, interest grew in online trade in inexpensive artistic objects, mostly works of decorative art and graphic art. In the recent period the art market in Poland underwent significant transformations. As a result of changes in the economic system, by the late 1980's and early 1990's the state agency of art trade (DESA) lost its monopoly. Private antiquarian companies sprang up very fast; some of them began trading in entire Poland. Those companies, which are in fierce competition, keep searching for new ways of development and new methods of promoting their merchandise. The Internet is used increasingly frequently as important advertising space and source of commercial information; some Polish auction houses, galleries and antiquity shops also trade in works of art via the Internet. Among Polish traditional auction houses, Agra-Art S.A. is the pioneer of Internet auctions: in 2005 the web-based transactions constituted ca. 10% of its turnover. Nevertheless, the prices of objects sold in this manner rarely exceeded a few thousand Polish zlotys. The Internet and new information and communication technologies are today an important element of art market. Nevertheless, the assumption that in the future e-commerce would replace the traditional forms of trade in works of art seems to be unfounded. Despite the increasing quality of computer software, and consequently the improvement of image transmission, buying works of art (especially highly valuable works of antique art) entirely on-line still carries serious risk of becoming a victim of fraudulent practices or of a simple mistake. Also of import is the fact that connoisseurship and passion for collecting works of art to a large extent stem from fascination with the actual work of art and pleasure derived from the direct contact with it; this cannot be replaced by even the most expertly made image.

Internet has many names. Each of them emphasizes a different aspect of its nature. When you limit your attention to only two of them, you can think about Internet as a tool of research or as an object of it. As a tool, Internet is useful for the distribution of questionnaires, and as a space for experiments and observation (participant or not). As an object of research its structure, resources or users (the Internauts) can be analyzed. The study of Internet users may focus on their demographic, psychological or social features, though one can also research varied kinds of pathologies, cyber-identity, marginalization, or internauts' behavior in the net or in cyber-societies. All above-mentioned research areas are only examples. There is really huge number of ways in which you can research the Net using the Net. In the Networked Society there is never too much of Net.

Court of Conciliation for Internet Domains at Polish Chamber of Information Technology and Telecommunications is one of the three Conciliation Courts referred to in NASK (Polish domain name registrar) regulations. Legal acts quoted most often by the prosecutors are business property act, competition and consumer protection act and civil code regulations. Decisions of the Court provide interesting reflection on the scope of applicability of registered trademark, right to protect the reputation and brand. There are also disadvantages of the Court activity, e.g. large scope of anonymity or vague role of the arbiters acting as the party representative to the Court. Still, Court's output plays an important role in defining practical and doctrinal foundations of the IT law.

1. Purpose The purpose of the article is reviewing and assessing the role of the Internet as a medium for digital information exchange, also enabling individuals to publish their own content and to express private opinions in a public domain. 2. Methodology The research approach and methodology are based on the assumption that the popular tendency to assure universal access to the Internet should also be accompanied by diversified activities for propagating a practical utilization of the Internet (among others, for valuable ideas, innovation and knowledge dissemination). 3. Research limitations/implications Based on completed survey results and a comparative analysis of selected data one can conclude that contemporary communication media influence various aspects of public life more and more vividly, including the building process of a civil society. Despite the tiny respondent group, which should be considered as a research limitation, the survey results demonstrate that growing web accessibility and digital competencies can and should lead to the quality improvement of public debate (although the television seems to remain the main political and social medium in Poland so far). Moreover, a complete and conscious participation in the modern socio-cultural life will be more and more complicated without developed digital capabilities, so the prevention of technological exclusion is crucial for the society as a whole. 4. Originality/value The value of the article stems from emphasizing the importance of the development of digital capabilities and competencies in the building process of a civil society. It seems that this vital objective should be accomplished by large-scale educational activities initiated by diverse actors like family, different educational institutions and public sector organizations.

Modern technologies are more and more becoming an inherent part of everyday life of people and their communication. In an equal extent, they affect sociological research aimed at exploring social reality. New means of communication are now a natural part of sociological research. Today, practices such as the use or the Internet to collect on-line data, making audio and video recordings of various types of observations, recording individual or group interviews, production of visual data, and other processes supported by technology have become a commonplace; not to mention qualitative data processing and analysis. However, general accessibility of modern technologies and their relative ease of use entice to underestimate the examination of validity and reliability of these methods in the context of the realization of research projects. This paper highlights some of the areas in which the use of on-line technologies must be subject to more detailed examination, in order to ensure validity of results. The paper aims to trigger academic discussion.

The electronic net, connected with the hypertext (HTML), creates a new communication system, including a new form of artistic expression called 'Liternet', derived from belles-lettres. The peculiarity of 'Liternet' texts is associative narrative instead of linearity and permanent interactivity with the recipient. The most innovative original forms are: associative prose, web-blogs and literary e-discussions. One may also recognize computer games as quasi-literary forms. All of them may transform into variants impossible in writing. Thus, 'Liternet' might be a separate means of artistic expression, parallel to traditional kinds.

The author describes the abuse of domain names from the point of view of the law against unfair competition. In individual chapters, the author gradually analyses the legal responsibility for unfair abuse of domains and defines passively legitimate subjects. The author also provides the individual reasons why domain name disputes arise. Finally, the author made a legal analysis of the general clause of unfair competition from the point of view of application specificities in the Internet environment and detailed the possibilities of application of special cases of unfair competition. When examining the issue in question, the author relied, above all, on the decision-making practice of the courts and the conclusions of the existing, albeit not too numerous, legal doctrine.

The children in the face of Internet. The face of a virtual world has many aspects. The internet helps in many areas of life, it seems indispensable in the military, banking, economy, social information, education and even the contemporary Church cannot get rid of the evangelical and informative activity in a global network. But the internet is not only a place of accessible services, the most popular ones being WWW websites, electronic mail, Usenet, discussion lists or internet cafes. It is also an environment full of traps and dangers, a ‘legal’, in the face of law, school of ‘anti-education’ and spreading of ‘anti-values’, especially if we take into account the fact that children and youth constitute the most devout and the most defenseless society of the internet recipients. Unlimited access to pornography, vulgarity and violence linked with a lack of efficient tools of controlling the website content, makes the internet a source of many examples of juvenile pathological behavior. Some people claim that the formative influence of the media on education competes on a rising scale with the influence of school, the Church and even a family. Benedict XVI in his message for XLI Communications Day 2007 stresses that a relationship: children – media – education should be considered from two perspectives: the formation of children by the media and the formation of children to respond appropriately to the media. In this question the Pope points at a specific interdependence between a responsibility of the media and a need of active and critical attitude of media broadcast recipients. In this way a preparation for a responsible exploitation of the media seems to be an important task for a cultural, moral and spiritual development of children and youth. It is an extremely difficult task as it is clearly visible that the internet addiction will become a genuine plague in the 21 century.

Responsibility is the first and most important condition necessary for the media to be properly used. The statements pertains both to creators and recipients as well as to institutions that are standing by, being qualified to perform educational activities, such as the Church, the state, school, or family. The present paper is an attempt to look at the media from the responsibility perspective in the context of the teaching of John Paul II. The papal teaching reveals three aspects: first, it is about the responsibility of creators and editors for the media; second, it is about a responsible usage of the media; finally, it is about the social responsibility for the two above-mentioned aspects. Journalists are responsible for the shape and effects of their work; recipients are responsible for what they take advantage of and how; and yet, the state, the Church and family also take responsibility for everything that takes place in this respect in the closest community.

Internet is a great place for acquiring information. There are two essential points of effectively using the Internet. The first is to master the basic navigating tools. The second is to be able to evaluate the results of the search, to separate nuggets from sparkling junks. There are several reasons why incredible amount of junk can be found on the Internet. Comparison of printed information with information on the net explains the necessity of fitting existing criteria to the new format. Scope, content, graphic and multimedia design, workability are the main headings including several subheadings (e.g. accuracy, authority, currency, connectivity). The Kempelen Farkas Student Information and Resource Centre is a special institute of the Ministry of Education. The declared main profile of the Centre is providing information and electronic services. Its web site is called Hungarian higher education portal. Therefore, the critical evaluation of this web site as an example is an obvious choice. The result is at best controversial, listing several critical remarks.

The phenomenon of information overload is a natural consequence of growing amount of information. The cost of its distribution constantly decreases, however, the capabilities of information processing by human brain have not increased significantly in the course of past decades. Despite that, modern education institution are still organized in such ways as if people who were using them felt a deficiency of information and the role of those institution was fulfilling their demand for information. Reality requires from an education institution something else - namely, conveying diverse skills of information processing. One of such skills is the capability of being oriented in the environment in the condition of information overload.

The emergence of a social Web has become a great challenge to traditional search engines. They strive to meet the demand for high quality up-to-date information reflecting what has been happening in the world in the last hours, minutes or even seconds. The solution may be real-time search, which enables the user to browse through results from thousands of social services such as Twitter, Facebook or Flickr. Although the technology is not perfect yet, the number of real-time search engines is growing. The article describes how real-time search is performed in comparison to traditional search procedures. It also highlights the strengths and weaknesses as well as challenges that this type of search is facing.

In the communicative genres used on the web, the nature of written communication changes: this is where efforts at a multimedia quality that characterise texts in general are at their best. Written communication plays a decreasing role here: what are mainly produced are complex items of writing-image-sound communication; in addition, hypermedia tools make it possible to link such complex items to each other. As opposed to traditional written texts, the recorded written form of computer-mediated communication is less characterised by a high level of being regular, normative, and well-constructed. It is best observable in high-interactivity chat forums and electronic mail texts that the lack of prosodic and paralinguistic tools is made up for by piled-up letters, piled-up punctuation marks, as well as the use of peculiar symbols or characters. Computer-mediated dialogues offer the possibility of immediate response: this is a characteristic feature of direct human communication - except that it goes on in writing in this case. The structure of dialogues carried on via chat forums does not correspond to any known communicative genre: they are less organised than even spontaneous spoken dialogues are and they are rather elliptical in their content: often, all components of macroplanning are totally lacking. Disorganisation is compensated for by the written (static) nature of the texts that makes the course of the dialogue somewhat easier to follow. In sum, certain types of internet texts can be referred to as 'written spoken language'.
