Product Piracy
Original or Imitation
Counterfeiting takes place in almost all economic sectors – textiles, watches, car parts, machine parts, tools, accessories, software and medicines. Some counterfeits are easy to recognise, others are so well-executed that even experts have difficulty distinguishing between original and imitation. This DVD covers the development of a product from idea to manufacture. Once a product has become a trademark, product pirates appear on the scene. Is product piracy a harmless offence? How damaging and dangerous is it truly? What legal principles are violated? How are counterfeits produced and what dangers result from that? The damage to the industry is significant. Apart from the economic losses, the damage to the image is severe. The deceived consumer may become a victim to quality defects in the case of material fatigue, safety defects or the wrong materials or ingredients. Legally, the industry can protect itself with patents and designs to take action against counterfeits. The film also shows protection concepts to allow a distinction between original products and counterfeit goods.

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.
