Mute Swan
Swans throughout the Year
Swans are an ornament to our waters. The majestic birds with their snow-white plumage are considered the very epitome of beauty and purity. Not every swan, however, is white. It is the Mute Swan that has inspired people’s imagination for ages. Seemingly an old acquaintance, it has nevertheless a great many unknown features for us to discover. The Mute Swan is our most striking and best known species of the Anatidae family. The elegant birds can weigh up to 14 kilograms and therefore are among the biggest and heaviest waterfowl worldwide. Their large and navicular bodies make swans appear clumsy on land. They are the result of their adaptation to swimming, for neither wind nor waves can easily unbalance a swan’s body. Their relatively short feet with webs between the toes work as paddles and are thus ideal for locomotion in water.

Copyright
Copyright is subject to constant change to keep up with technological advances. This film enables the viewer to grasp the basic principles of this extremely intricate matter. By way of introduction, the film defines what an author is, what kinds of works there are and how long a work is protected on principle. Then the fundamental rights of an author are cited and it is shown how these are exploited in our times. In the third chapter, the respective rights are illustrated by way of practice-oriented examples of books, photos, music and films. Here, of course, an emphasis is laid on the field of education, taking into account the latest case law within the EU and Austria in particular. A further chapter highlights the problems arising with the Internet and goes into the citation law and pirate copies. All in all, in this way the viewer is made familiar with the most important basic terms and their meanings. Comprehensive worksheets and additional accompanying material invite us to deepen our knowledge of the subject.
