The aim of the paper is to discuss different options for qualification of computer games into appropriate category of copyright. The qualification is essential due to considerable differences between various protection regimes which emphasizes practical aspect of the issue. Difficulty in classification of computer games results from their specific structure which consists of software (computer programme) and audiovisual presentations. Some of the possible options include qualification of computer games as software or audiovisual work but other solutions are also taken into account such as: unnamed work, multimedia work or a completely new category of work. Due to the absence of Polish jurisdiction in this matter and insufficient research body it was necessary for the author to reach for foreign experiences and doctrine.

Nowadays, in the world of digitalization, a picture with a piece of information reaches to the recipient faster than any word and it is relatively simple to understand. Processing of the data by illustrations requires less time and ability from the viewer. That is why the meaning of the photography is still increasing and it is signifi cant to raise the question how image should be protected by the law. The act of copyright and related rights distinguish goods such as an industrial design or a photographic work. However, it is not true that every picture deserves to be called a creative work. An image can be defi ned as a “creative work”, when it complies with the characteristic elements of the work and specifi city of the photography. For example, pictures that simply record the reality and do not have any features of a nature of the photographer cannot be called creative. It should be noted that the object of the copyright law can also be an adaptation of another person’s work. It is hard to decide unambiguously, which picture should be protected by law exactly. It is important that every image must be treated individually, but the courts acknowledge all pictures as creative works. However, as already mentioned, the predominant factor would be to determine whether it is art or not.

The proposed paper offers a selection and an analysis of CJEU case law on copyright law. As regards the recent and most discussed judgments of CJEU, the author focuses on the evolution of the harmonized copyright law at the EU level: from a specific harmonisation centred on particular normative institutions to a functional interpretation of copyright law regulations. The paper is divided into three main parts: the first part focuses on the analysis of copyright subject matter; what then follows is the analysis of the scope of rights, in particular the right to make a work available online (second part), and, ultimately, there is a third part that deals with copyright limitations and exceptions. The analysis ends with the conclusions and topics for discussion with regard to the future interpretation of EU copyright law.

The premise for choice of the research problem is the impact of new technologies on directions in the discussion of copyright law. The goal is the integrated look at the regulation of the market of new technologies in the context of intellectual property rights. The method of research is the analysis of the law, case law and literature. It must be concluded that the economic analysis of intellectual property rights should take into account not only the interests of authors and publishers, but also the owners and users of online platforms. New technologies have an impact on the economic sense of copyright protection - it is appropriate to suggest a more flexible approach to systems of protection of these rights.

In the author’s opinion, a consent to distribute the image of a person is not required in several cases. Firstly, if it is only a detail of the whole image, e.g. of a public gathering or event. Secondly, if it is an image of a well-known person when the picturei refers to its public functions. It is also allowed to publish images of pedestrians or people assembled in a street demonstration. However, if the dominant feature of the frame is the image of a particular person, the dissemination of the picture requires the consent of such person, granted in any form.

The Copyright and Related Rights Act introduced the possibility of demanding double and triple of the license fee in case of copyright infringement. This solution has aroused many reservations in doctrine and case-law, because it raised doubts whether it is a punishment or just compensation for the violation. This article presents the views of the Constitutional Court and the Court of Justice of the European Union, in order to try to resolve the doubts as to the nature of the institution of lump-sum compensation in copyright law. On the basis of two fundamental judgments authors try to show that the current legal regulations are inappropriate and should be changed.

The article investigates the way Directive 2004/48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the enforcement of intellectual property rights was implemented to the Polish copyright law. It pays special attention to the provision of art. 79 sec. 1 of the Polish copyright law that provides for payment of double or, where the infringement is culpable, triple the amount of respective remuneration that would have been due as of the time of claiming it in exchange for the rightholder’s consent for the use of the work and analyzes whether it constitutes punitive damages that are prohibited by the above Directive. It explains the reasons rooted in economic analysis of law behind it and outlines some possible risks arising therefrom.

Freedom to link became an issue as early as 2014 when the European Court of Justice issued its first ruling in this regard. Due to the Directive 2001/29/EC doubts arose as to how linking could be understood as an act of public communication. However, the issue is still current and controversial, also due to the way it has been regulated and interpreted under European law. It should be noted that linking is an important activity not only in terms of copyright, but also falls within the scope of protection of freedom of expression. Therefore, it is crucial to discuss this issue from the perspective of these two aspects.

The subject of the opinion is the answer to the question whether the consent of the Presidium of the Sejm, the Chancellery of the Sejm or a committee of the Sejm is required to use the logo of the Sejm. It flows from the Rules and Regulations of Chancellery of the Sejm and a contract concerning the transfer of copyright, the right to use the logo depends on the nature of an event. In case the event is organised by an external body, a consent of the Chancellery of the Sejm is necessary. Such consent is not required when the logo is to be used in an undertaking organised by a committee of the Sejm. The consent is granted by the Chief of the Chancellery of the Sejm or a person authorised by him.

Fair use allows to certain limited uses of copyrighted work without permission from the author or right holder. As a limitation and exception to the exclusive right of the author of a creative work fair use is permitted for educational purposes in the Polish law and is covered by the Polish copyright law articles. In view of high importance of education fair use for educational purposes seems to be wholly justified. The paper presents the issue of possible use of copyrighted works in teaching process which comes from the Polish Act on Copyright and Related Rights. It analyses whether the provisions are adequate in the face of the development of digital and web-based information technology. Some amendments to the Polish copyright law are proposed. Another issue discussed in the paper is whether and to what extend so-called Open Educational Resources (OER – freely accessible, openly licensed documents and media that are useful for teaching, learning etc.) can present a real alternative to fair use.

Rozwój technologii cyfrowych i Internetu zmienił sposoby uczestniczenia w kulturze. Konsumenci ograniczający się dotąd do nabywania i biernego korzystania z dóbr kultury, stają się kreatywnymi prosumentami. Prawo autorskie nie nadąża za tymi zmianami. Próby zaostrzenia regulacji z zakresu własności intelektualnej nie prowadzą do zapewnienia skutecznej ochrony twórcom i nie wspierają kreatywności. Artykuł analizuje postawy polskich konsumentów dóbr kultury (mangi) w Internecie względem prawa autorskiego. W artykule dokonano przeglądu istnieją-cych źródeł, jak również przeprowadzono własne badania. W celu zidentyfikowania postaw fanów mangi wobec prawa autorskiego zastosowano podejście interpretatywne. Przeprowadzono dwa wywia-dy w postaci minigrup, łącznie przebadano dziewięć osób w wieku 13–16 lat (grupę wybrano ze wzglę-du na profil czytelników mangi w Polsce). Badania przeprowadzone przez autorki potwierdzają donie-sienia odnalezione w literaturze, że młodzi widzą przede wszystkim pozytywne strony udostępniania i korzystania z dóbr kultury w Internecie, jest to dla nich zupełnie naturalne. Nie zastanawiają się nad konsekwencjami prawnymi takiego korzystania, ponieważ uważają, że nie są nimi objęci. Obecne prawo jest nie tylko nieskuteczne, ale działa wręcz korupcyjnie na młode pokolenie, które żyjąc w ciągłym duchu łamania prawa, uodparnia się na nie.

The development of digital technology and the Internet changed the ways of participating in culture. Copyright law does not keep up with the creative revolution that develops in cyberspace and through its existence. Attempts to tighten regulation of intellectual property do not lead to ensure the effective protection of authors and do not support creativity. The paper analyses the attitudes of consumers of manga market in Poland towards copyright law. This paper reviews the existing sources, and presents results of research conducted by authors. To identify attitudes of manga fans towards copyright law, interpretive approach was applied. 2 interviews were conduct-ed in the form of minigrup, including 9 people aged 13–16 years (group chosen due to the profile of manga readers in Poland). This research confirms that the young appreciate the dissemination and use of cultural goods on the Internet. Young fans do not take into consideration legal cons-quences of their behavior, since they believe law will not be applied to them. The current law is not only ineffective, but it works even corruptive on the young generation which while living in constant violation of the spirit of the law, become resistant to them.

The paper presents the results of the analysis of issues concerning the distribution in Poland. Distribution, in the context of the copyright law, is the compensation for the reproduction of works used with permit by private individuals for the personal purpose. Depending on the form of the exploitation of work or the subject of right (authors, performers, publishers or producers of phonograms and video recording), the fee should be paid. Fees for the use of protected works are collected from users based on the license agreements. Collective societies involved in the collect and division of the fees for the use of works within the permitted personal use. Article 23 of copyright law established the principle for unpaid permitted private use. There is no claim for payment of remuneration to the collective society or to users, if the works are copied within its own personal use. Exploitation of the works on the statutory license for private use is permitted, therefore, in connection with eg. common interests. Moreover, the relationships established through the internet are not excluded. Specificity is the fact that nowadays the reprographic fee of media is borne by entities that are themselves do not use of the works and do not encroach on the symptoms of copyright as an exclusive right. Holders of reprographic equipment, who are already established in the field of reproduction of works for personal use by third parties are obliged to pay, through the organization of collective management of copyright and related rights, duties amounting to 3% of the proceeds of this account on behalf of authors and publishers, unless the reproduction is carried out under an agreement with an eligible (eg. the author or publisher). Reprographic fees, so-called copyright levies or fees, which are counted towards to the blank media and copying machines are paid by all customers. Fees are paid by producers and importers of copying devices and blank media. In the field of reprographic fees, copyright is obsolete and should be complemented with modern audiovisual equipment, including tablets, smartphones etc.

The study analyzed the problem common property of the spouses and copyright. The main issue is whether the income that the copyright law generates will be the joint property of the spouses. The starting point for reflection on this is interpretation of the term “copyright remuneration” which can take the form right effective inter partes or erga omnes. The purpose of this study was to answer the question: in what situation the income of copyright law will create the personal property and when the joint property of the spouses whether the situation changes when the copyright is transferred to the legal successor of the creator? The issues presented in the article are important for resolving court disputes regarding the abolition of the matrimonial property. The article also discusses the issue of copyright disposal in matrimonial property agreements.

W opracowaniu przeanalizowany został problem przynależności autorskich praw majątkowych oraz dochodów, które one generują do majątku wspólnego małżonków oraz majątków odrębnych małżonków. Punktem wyjścia do rozważań na ten temat stają się kwestie interpretacji pojęcia „wynagrodzenie autorskie”, które może być rozumiane na wiele sposobów, raz jako prawo o charakterze bezwzględnym innym razem jako uprawnienie względne wynikające z treści zawartej umowy. Celem niniejszego opracowania była odpowiedz na pytanie w jakiej sytuacji dochody, które generują autorskie prawa majątkowe zasilą majątek osobisty a w jakim majątek objęty małżeńską wspólnością ustawową twórcy, czy sytuacja ulega zmianie gdy dojdzie do zbycia autorskich praw majątkowych na rzecz następcy prawnego twórcy? Przedstawione w artykule zagadnienia mają istotne znaczenie dla rozstrzygania sporów sądowych dotyczących zniesienia wspólności majątkowej małżeńskiej oraz do rozstrzygania kwestii związanych z możliwością pobierania dochodów, które generują autorskie prawa majątkowe przez małżonka twórcy. W artykule poruszona została także kwestia dysponowania autorskimi prawami majątkowymi w małżeńskich umowach majątkowych

The aim of this paper is to analyse the main aspects of copyright protection of computer programs. First the authoress presents the legal and economic circumstances of this model of computer programs protection, which led to the adoption of Directive 91/250/EEC (now in its consolidated version contained in Directive 2009/24/EC). Next she analyses the provisions of the Polish copyright law, pointing out that the primary version of Polish copyright law of 1994 was based on the provisions of the above mentioned EEC Directive. Hence Polish copyright law regards a computer program as work defined in relevant provisions of copyright law. Consequently, special focus in the paper is put of the subject and the scope of copyright protection. Further in the paper, the economic rights to a computer program are characterised, followed by subsequent restrictions of these rights, and decompilation in particular. The overall analysis includes legal interpretation of the provisions of Directive 91/250/EEC (or Directive 2009/24/EC of the CJEU in the following judgments: C-393/09 – Bezpečnostni softwarová asociace, C-406/10 SAS – Institute Inc. and C-128/11 – UsedSoft GmbH.

Celem artykułu jest analiza najważniejszych aspektów ochrony programów komputerowych na podstawie prawa autorskiego. Na wstępie autorka przedstawia prawne i ekonomiczne uwarunkowania tego modelu ochrony programów komputerowych, które doprowadziły do przyjęcia w ówczesnej Europejskiej Wspólnocie Gospodarczej dyrektywy nr 91/250/EWG (obecnie jej wersji skonsolidowanej zawartej w dyrektywie nr 2009/24/WE). Następnie autorka poddaje analizie przepisy polskiego prawa autorskiego, w którym już w pierwotnej wersji z 1994 r. wprowadzono regulacje oparte na dyrektywie nr 91/250/EWG. Przedstawia program komputerowy jako utwór w rozumieniu prawa autorskiego, a szczególną uwagę zwraca na przedmiot i zakres ochrony. W kolejnej części artykułu charakteryzuje autorskie prawa majątkowe do programu komputerowego oraz ograniczenia tych praw, w tym głównie dekompilację. W toku analizy powyższych zagadnień autorka uwzględnia wykładnię przepisów dyrektywy nr 91/250/EWG (lub dyrektywy 2004/29/WE) dokonaną przez Trybunał Sprawiedliwości w następujących wyrokach: C-393/09 – Bezpečnostni softwarová asociace, C-406/10 – SAS Institute Inc. oraz C-128/11 – UsedSoft GmbH.

The aim of the article is to analyze the content of Article 115 Paragraph 3 of the Polish Copyright Act and to examine the constitutionality of the provision based on the nullum crimen sine lege certa principle expressed in Article 42 of the Constitution. The basis for the allegation of the unconstitutionality of the provision is the Article’s use of the phrase: “Who […] otherwise violates”, which is, in the opinion of the doctrine, imprecise and contrary to the principle of legal certainty in matters of criminal law. Basing on the quoted regulations and the practice the author tries to answer a question whether the content of Article 115 Paragraph 3 of the Polish Copyright Act is constitutional and subjects the issue of using such clauses to the polemics. The article presents arguments for the rightness of such regulation as well as opposing views and the final conclusion based on the judgment of February 17, 2015, in which the Constitutional Tribunal adjudicated on the conformity of the regulation with the Constitution. Despite the approving position of the Constitutional Tribunal the issue of the constitutionality of the provision is still controversial and causes problems in the classification of acts as prohibited under the Copyright Act. Nevertheless, the use of complementary clauses in particular containing the phrase: “Who […] otherwise violates” seems to be unavoidable due to the dynamic development of technology and law. The principle of legal certainty can be implemented using a pro-constitutional interpretation in order to maximize the alignment of legal norms with the objectives and values expressed in the Constitution. This paper will also examine the secondary issue of criminal law protection of intellectual property rights with an emphasis on copyright law.

Tendencje unifikacyjne w europejskim prawie autorskim zachodziły stopniowo. Początki tego procesu sięgają pierwszej połowy XIX wieku. Pierwszym krokiem były umowy bilateralne między poszczególnymi państwami. Następnie doszło do zawarcia umowy konwencyjnej w Bernie, którą wielokrotnie rewidowano (1896, 1908, 1914, 1928, 1948, 1967, 1971). Największe zasługi dla unifikacji europejskiego prawa autorskiego przypisać należy Francji oraz Belgii, które były w gronie siedmiu europejskich państw-sygnatariuszy Konwencji Berneńskiej. Z czasem do Konwencji, która obowiązuje do dziś, przystępowały kolejne państwa.

EN

Unification trends in European copyright law have progressed gradually. The beginnings of this process date back to the first half of the 19th century. The first step was bilateral agreements between individual countries. Then came the conclusion of the Convention in Bern, which was repeatedly amended (1896, 1908, 1914, 1928, 1948, 1967, 1971). The greatest contribution to the unification of European copyright law should be attributed to France and Belgium, which were among the seven European states signatory to the Bern Convention. Over time, more countries joined the Convention, which applies to this day.
