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.

Multimedia technology is a key component of the Digital Society. This book comprehensively examines the extent to which copyright and database right protect multimedia works. It does so from the perspective of UK law, but with due attention being paid to EU law, international treaties and comparative developments in other jurisdictions, such as Australia and the U.S. The central argument of the book is that the copyright and database right regimes are, for the most part, flexible enough to meet the challenges presented by multimedia. As a result, it is neither necessary nor desirable to introduce separate copyright protection or sui generis protection for multimedia works. This important and original new work will be essential reading for any lawyer engaged in advising on IP matters relating to the new media industries, and scholars and students working in intellectual property and computer law.

Sollen die journalistischen Medien ihre demokratiewesentlichen Aufgaben der öffentlichen Meinungsbildung und der Kontrolle staatlicher Macht wirksam wahrnehmen können, müssen sie vom Staat unabhängig sein. Gleichzeitig hat ebendieser Staat ein vielfältiges Medienangebot zu gewährleisten und die Öffentlichkeit über seine Tätigkeiten zu informieren. Dieses Spannungsverhältnis verschärft sich im Internetzeitalter, in welchem die teure journalistische Inhaltsproduktion immer weniger als gesichert gilt. So aktualisiert sich dadurch die staatliche Pflicht, den Medienpluralismus etwa durch die Organisation eines Service Public-Systems oder anderweitiger Fördermassnahmen zu sichern und eine aktive Öffentlichkeitsarbeit wahrzunehmen. Dies erhöht wiederum die Gefahr, dass der Staat die Medientätigkeit beeinflusst oder selber zum Medienanbieter wird. Welche Grenzen der Staat in diesem Kontext zu beachten hat, wird in diesem Buch anhand einer mediengattungsübergreifenden verfassungs- und völkerrechtlichen Analyse des Prinzips der Staatsunabhängigkeit der Medien herausgearbeitet.
