Motores de búsqueda y derechos de autor: infracción y responsabilidad

2015

Los motores de búsqueda se configuran como herramientas indispensables para localizar fácilmente cualquier tipo de información entre las más de tres billones de páginas web existentes en la red. Estos buscadores se presentan, de facto, como instrumentos básicos para que todo usuario pueda tener acceso a la información, cultura y educación, de manera que están convirtiéndose en unas herramientas indispensables para el libre desarrollo de las personas. Sin embargo, a pesar de estas ventajas, en ocasiones, los buscadores vuelcan contenidos protegidos en la página de resultados sin autorización de su titular, de forma que de no mediar algún límite o excepción tasado en la ley, pueden estar vuln…

Responsabilità degli intermediari di Internet e nuovi obblighi di conformazione: robo-takedown, policy of termination, notice and take steps

2017

Internet service provider liability and new duties: robo-takedown, policy of termination, notice and take steps The essay — after clarifying the outlines of the two main “safe harbor” provisions which limit the liability of online service providers as regards copyright infringement in the Western Legal Tradition, namely the U.S. section 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and articles 12 through 15 of the EU Directive on e-commerce — enquires the way in which the most recent case-law, respectively that of the U.S. Federal Courts and of the European Court of Justice, is enhancing the standard of protection and the enforcement of intellectual property rights. Indeed, both the Digital …

A robust blind 3-D mesh watermarking based on wavelet transform for copyright protection

2019

Nowadays, three-dimensional meshes have been extensively used in several applications such as, industrial, medical, computer-aided design (CAD) and entertainment due to the processing capability improvement of computers and the development of the network infrastructure. Unfortunately, like digital images and videos, 3-D meshes can be easily modified, duplicated and redistributed by unauthorized users. Digital watermarking came up while trying to solve this problem. In this paper, we propose a blind robust watermarking scheme for three-dimensional semiregular meshes for Copyright protection. The watermark is embedded by modifying the norm of the wavelet coefficient vectors associated with th…

Hybrid blind robust image watermarking technique based on DFT-DCT and Arnold transform

2018

In this paper, a robust blind image watermarking method is proposed for copyright protection of digital images. This hybrid method relies on combining two well-known transforms that are the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and the discrete cosine transform (DCT). The motivation behind this combination is to enhance the imperceptibility and the robustness. The imperceptibility requirement is achieved by using magnitudes of DFT coefficients while the robustness improvement is ensured by applying DCT to the DFT coefficients magnitude. The watermark is embedded by modifying the coefficients of the middle band of the DCT using a secret key. The security of the proposed method is enhanced by appl…

El plagio cinematográfico de Letty Lynton (1932) y su impacto en la industria fílmica estadounidense: análisis del proceso judicial y de su cobertura…

2016

Este artículo presenta un exhaustivo análisis del proceso judicial relativo al film Letty Lynton (1932), que, pese a ser un emblema del periodo clásico de Hollywood, fue prohibido en 1936, tras la denuncia de dos dramaturgos que acusaron a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer de haber plagiado una de sus obras. El pleito evidenció una complejidad en materia de infracción del copyright que la justicia estadounidense no había afrontado hasta el momento, entre otros motivos porque la cinta partía de unos hechos reales acontecidos durante el siglo XIX y la productora había adquirido los derechos de una novela que también los relataba. Los continuos recursos y resoluciones judiciales finalizaron, tras ochos años…

Is incidental re-creation likely to happen in pop music?

2009

In this study we try to address the question, if independent (re-)creations are likely to happen in pop music. The interest in this topic stems from the fact that the claim of an “independent creation” is a common defense strategy in copyright infringement law suits. We conducted a main experiment in which subjects were asked to invent short, “catchy” pop melodies to a given backing track over a very common chord sequence (I VI IV V). Additionally, we incorporated 5 melodies from hit songs over the same chords in a comparable tempo. The collected melodies were examined for similarities, between participants’ melodies and hit songs on the one hand and in between participants’ songs on the ot…

Col·laboració 2.0: El futur de la divulgació científica

2013

La divulgació científica ha d’afrontar un nou escenari on l’escassetat d’informació ha estat substituïda per l’abundància d’informació, que a més comença a ser generalment gratuïta i produïda per aficionats i, en alguns casos, amb la mateixa o superior qualitat que la professional. Sembla imposar-se, en conseqüència, una col·laboració entre l’àmbit professional i l’aficionat, àmbits separats per una línia divisòria que ja s’ha desdibuixat.

Measurement of W-pair production in $e^+ e^-$ collisions at 189 GeV

2000

The production of W-pairs is analysed in a data sample collected by ALEPH at a mean centre-of-mass energy of 188.6 GeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 174.2 pb^-1. Cross sections are given for different topologies of W decays into leptons or hadrons. Combining all final states and assuming Standard Model branching fractions, the total W-pair cross section is measured to be 15.71 +- 0.34 (stat) +- 0.18 (syst) pb. Using also the W-pair data samples collected by ALEPH at lower centre-of-mass energies, the decay branching fraction of the W boson into hadrons is measured to be BR (W > hadrons) = 66.97 +- 0.65 (stat) +- 0.32 (syst) %, allowing a determination of the CKM matrix el…
