Autorské právo v rozhlasovém vysílání - Soukromoprávní aspekty rozhlasového vysílání v českém, slovenském a evropském právu – Beneš Marek (2020)

The book is the first publication that clearly describes radio broadcasting from the perspective of private law, including Czech, Slovak, and European law. It provides a comprehensive overview of the specifics of radio broadcasting with an emphasis on copyright, related rights, trademarks, personality protection, and specific models for protecting radio programs. What should one be cautious about when settling rights for a radio program? How to manage contractual relationships with hosts? What legal status does a sound engineer or radio director have? Can a playlist or the format of a radio program be protected? What changes have occurred in copyright law in the European Union, in the Czech Republic, and in Slovakia in recent years, and how have they affected radio stations? For each topic discussed, the book offers a comparison of Czech and Slovak legal regulations with references to laws as well as European legal norms and numerous judgments. The author has many years of experience as a radio lawyer and host, with experience from private radio, public service radio, and the legal environment of the European Broadcasting Union, and in the book, he draws on his extensive focus on intellectual property rights with an emphasis on radio broadcasting.
