Unlawful use of a copyrighted work, author's fee

For the entire existence of authorship, as the relationship between creator and his work, author crafts were sometimes also used wrongly, that is, without the knowledge and permissions of the author. However only by establishing of the Copyright law began the fight against this phenomenon, which is undesirable for both individuals (the authors) as well as for society as a whole. The society is lacking part of its progress as a result of this phenomenon, which is nothing more than theft - in terms of intellectual property - using author's craft without providing adequate reward, and thus are authors discouraged in their next work. Copyright law has almost perfectly described this problem and also laid down rules, which can help each author, but also the State as a defender of social interests, effectively intervene against unauthorized use of copyright crafts. This project provides a general overview of the issue of unauthorized use of author crafts and royalties, in particular by the legislation of the Czech Republic, effective on 31st August 2008
