The Impact of Internet on IPR – a Case Study of Music Industry in Croatia
The Impact of Internet on IPR – A Case Study of Music Industry in Croatia Marta Bozina; Kosjenka Dumancic; Blazenka Knezevic University of Zagreb, Croatia Faculty of Economics and Business [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) there is a trend of rapid growth of Internet users in EU-candidate countries (Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey), according to ITU reports, the number of Internet users has tripled since the year 2000. Nowadays, Internet is affecting and changing almost every industry in transitional countries. The impact is most obvious in industries which deal with goods that can be easily digitalized and distributed online. Due to a large number of Internet users, network effects and accessibility of different easy-to-use software tools both for digitalization and distribution, music seems to be most exposed to Internet theft and piracy. In this paper the case of Croatian music industry will be discussed together with the legal framework regarding the issue of digital music. Keywords: IPR, Internet, digital music, Croatia, legal framework, copyright Introduction Since the early eighties, digital revolution has been taking place and has affected every aspect of human life. It has changed existing industries, brought new ones, and developed new types of human behaviour. The possibility of music digitalization and its digital distribution has placed several legal issues in the focus. This paper will discuss the interference between technological changes and the legal framework that regulates IPR in music industry. The Croatian music industry and changes in the Croatian legal system regarding issues of music trade and sharing will be placed in the centre of interest. -
Contribution to the Internet in Tourism and in the Research of Service Of
JANUARY / JUNE 2010 35 Contribution to the Research of the Internet in the Service of Tourism Situation in Croatia and in the World Damir Demonja, Renata Cupic, Daniela Angelina Jelincic * Original scientific paper UDC 004.738.5:379.8(497.5) Received in May 2009 Presence of tourist destinations on the Internet today is a prerequisite for business sus- tainability. Recession period undoubtedly has an impact on better exploitation of the Internet potential as a comprehensive communication tool which will provide for more demanding customer a choice of desired services at any time, from anywhere. Internet is not only communication and marketing tool, but offers direct access to the client, and also has a global reach. The business which, even before the arrival of tourists in the destination, enables the choice of destinations, is the advantage compared to the other, "traditional" ways of tourist business. Still under-utilization of Internet capabilities in Croatia indicates the needfor business change. Joint action of all participants in the tourist sector, backed by the knowledge and skills of experts for Internet and communi- cation technology could gradually contribute to the achievement of the desired tourism progress.

The Ethnographic Research of the Digital Divide
DIGITAL DIVIDE IN ISTRIA A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Igor Matic August 2006 The dissertation entitled DIGITAL DIVIDE IN ISTRIA by IGOR MATIC has been approved for the School of Telecommunications and the College of Communication by Karen E. Riggs Professor, School of Telecommunications Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, College of Communication ABSTRACT MATIC, IGOR, Ph. D., August 2006, Mass Communication DIGITAL DIVIDE IN ISTRIA (209 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Karen E. Riggs This dissertation covers the Digital Divide phenomena in the Istrian region. Istria is a Northern Adriatic peninsula that is administratively divided between three European countries: Croatia (which covers approximately 90% of the peninsula), Slovenia (app. 7%), and Italy (app. 3%). In this dissertation my goal was to articulate the most influential theoretical frameworks that are used to explain the Digital Divide today and I try to give an explanation of the issue through ethnographic procedures. The goals of this research include the examination of the current Digital Divide debate, extension of the theory toward the local understanding and perception of this global phenomenon. Additionally, I wanted to identify different interpretations of the Digital Divide in three countries within one region and compare the differences and similarities in new technology usage and perceptions. Also, I was interested to see how age - which is described as one of the major Digital Divide factors - influences the relationships between older and younger generations, specifically relationships between parents and children, instructors, students and co-workers. -

Nation-Wide ICT Infrastructure Introduction 585 Nation-Wide ICT Infrastructure Introduction and its Leverage for Overall Development Predrag Pale University of Zagreb, Croatia Jasenka Gojšic CARNet, Croatia EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This paper describes ten years of efforts in introducing the state-of-the-art information and communication technologies (ICT) and development of ICT infrastructure on the national level. The aim of the project was to build Internet in Croatia and to foster its leverage in the broad range of activities of public interest in the society as a whole. The prime target group was academic and research community, as a vehicle for the overall development in the society. Croatian Academic and Research Network (CARNet) had been started as a project in 1991, and, after five years, it was transformed into a government agency. A broad range of activities had been started, from building and maintaining private nation-wide communica- tion and computer network to information services, user support, education, pilot projects and promotion. The academic community has been treated not only as the main customer, but also as an active partner in developing and providing services. CARNet has been fully funded by the state budget for ten years, without any participation of the commercial sector, domestic donations or international financial support.

Copying or distributing in print or electronic forms without written permission of Idea Group Inc. is prohibited. 586 Pale & Gojsic Although CARNet is treated as Croatian success story, recognized inside and outside of the country, the question is whether the initial goals have been realistic and achievements sufficient, considering the low penetration of ICT into the Croatian society. -

BTV challenged the sports viewing industry not only by spoiling their own TV rights but also by including on their target people who support others teams beyond Benfica. In spite of this strategy has been considered at an initial stage as risky, BTV only in the first year accounted 30 Million Euros of revenues. The current study aims to study the impact that all the different sports contents powered by BTV have on BTV subscription, the influence of different club affiliation on BTV subscription and, the influence of price on BTV subscription. On the first part of the study a literature review was performed in order to understand different insights that were revealed as important to justify the results achieved. This was followed by an analyze of the current situation of televised sports industry in Portugal and BTV in particular. Regarding the contents, English Premier League and Benfica games played at home are by far, the contents that arouse more interest. The results reveal that there is a huge influence of different club affiliation on BTV subscription, particularly by Sporting and Porto supporters. -

Network Spirits
“COMPUTER NETWORKS HISTORIES” LUGANO, 14–15 DECEMBER 2017 ILLUSTRATED CONFERENCE REVIEW NETWORK SPIRITS Conference organized at the Università del- la Svizzera italiana by Professor of Media Studies Gabriele Balbi and his collaborators Gianliugi Negro and Paolo Bory, as part of a series of unfolding activities within the Institute of Media and Journalism centered on the history of science, technology, and computing. The China Media Observatory host- ed by the University, under the direction and care of Balbi and Negro, provided the rationale for a substantive focus during the conference on Chinese computer networks. Sponsored by the Swiss Association for History and Computing, presided by Chris- tiane Sibille; by infoclio.ch, the por- tal of professional historical research in Switzerland, directed by Enrico Natale; and the Swiss Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences. Review by Vlad Atanasiu, Department of In- formatics, University of Fribourg, Switzer- land. EMBEDDING TOPOLOGIES The picture on the left shows Europe’s fast- est supercomputer in 2017, “Piz Daint” of the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS), situated in the city of Lugano, on the southern slopes of the Alps. The rumbling emanating from the machine is not much different from that of an ancestral mill, only that it is not wheat or corn, but digital data that is crunched at the rate of 25 Petaflops. The data arrives and de- parts through 100 Gbit/s optic fiber cables set over the mountain passes of St Gothard, Simplon, and St Bernardino, serving academic institutions spread throughout the country, the CERN – cradle of the World Wide Web – at the French border, and various customers in the wider world. -
