Problemy s ochranou autorskych prav by Sandra Stoklaskova

Ste hudobny fanusik? Zvyknete stahovat hudobne subory z Internetu, alebo ich zdielate s inymi uzivatelmi? Ak je odpovedou na tieto otazky ano, mali by ste byt opatrny, aby ste nemuseli celit ziadnym potiazam. V tychto dnoch sa mnoho dozvedame napriklad Amazon.com alebo Yahoo.com, ktori by chceli ponukat zadarmo hudbu bez ochrany autorskych prav. Ale je toto legalne? Vcera sa Europsky vrchny sud zaoberal problemom ochrany autorsych prav, kvoli tomu, ze Spanielski Intenetovi operatori odmietli identifikovat zakaznikov, ktori zdielali on-line hudbu a prezradit ich mena Spanielskym zastancom autorskych prav. Europsky sud Sparvodlivosti , zaoberajuci sa Luxemburskom, zareagoval takto: "Ochrana autorskych prav nemoze ovplyvnit ochranu osobnych udajov." Predtym bol tento pripad predlozeny Spanielskemu sudu neziskovou organizaciou hudobnych procedur a vydavatelov, menom Promusicae, kedze ich zisky prudko klesli, kvoli piratskym kopiam a zdielaniu suborov. Telekomunikacny operator Telefonica odmietol odovzdat osobne informacie. Promusicae od nich ziadala prezradenie identit a adries ludi, ktori vyuzivali ich sluzby pristupu na Internet. Telefonica povedala vo svojom odovodneni, ze prezradzanie osobnych informacii bolo v Spanielsku dovolene iba pocas kriminalneho vysetrovania alebo na ochranu verejnej bezpecnosti, ci narodnej ochrany. Zistilo sa, ze prava na ochranu majetku musia byt v prerobene, aby boli v sulade s osobnymi pravami. Tento fakt a taktiez schopnost europskych narodov odmietnut odovzdanie osobnych udajov bolo ocenene mnohymi priemyselnymi skupinami, ako aj jednotlivcami.
