A study is done on the protection of sound recordings in the decentralized peer-to-peer (DP2P) file sharing in the United States, the United Kingdom and South Africa. This study reveals that because sound recordings have unique features different from other copyright works, the illegal sharing of sound recordings can ordinarily be filtered, identified, and detected by the Internet service providers (ISPs) before granting access to users and without infringing the users‟ right to privacy. However, the ISPs have failed in this regard, hence, they are strictly held liable under the contributory, vicarious and inducing infringements notwithstanding the statutory law which prohibits ISPs from monitoring, and intercepting their networks. In fact and law, the terms filtering, identifying and detecting on the one hand and monitoring and intercepting on the other hand are different in relation to sound recordings and as such ISPs are not prohibited from filtering, identifying and detecting illegal sound recordings on their networks, thus, ISPs are not protected under the limitation law as it is generally believed. However, several recommendations are made for reform, inter alia: a review of the limitation law to include the terms filtering, identifying and detecting in pursuance of the terms monitoring, and intercepting, if the intention of the legislators was meant to include the latter terms; protection of access right in digital sound recordings, protection of the neighbouring rights of ISPs in the digital world, imposing levies on all recording equipment, the insurability of sound recordings and ISPs‟ signals, and bandwidth. / Mercentile Law / LL.

針對行動網際網路服務，本研究先根據文獻建構出一評估可用性之初步架構，認為影響可用性的因素包含了「使用者個人特質」、「通訊基礎建設」、「服務廠商因素」及「行動裝置易用性認知」，接下來透過問卷調查以及統計分析的方式，進一步驗證此架構的正確性，建構出適於描述台灣地區行動網際網路服務可用性之評估架構。 本研究發現，使用者對於行動網際網路服務的觀感皆透過行動裝置而來，亦即「通訊基礎建設」與「服務廠商因素」之效果皆須透過中介變數「行動裝置易用性認知」才能發揮作用，而「行動裝置易用性認知」再影響到可用性，亦即「行動應用服務可用性認知」因素，而此結果代表使用者對於「通訊基礎建設」與「服務廠商因素」兩者的觀感必須透過行動裝置才感受得到，也就是說，如果沒有行動裝置存在，使用者對於後端之人文因素（服務廠商）與技術因素（通訊系統）一無所知，而這樣的結論反映在整個架構的意義，是「行動裝置易用性認知」對於可用性來說具有舉足輕重的地位；本研究進一步發現，可用性本身對於滿意度有著正面的直接效果，代表可用性愈高也會有較高的滿意度，而在同時，「使用者個人特質」代表著不同的使用者特性，如使用經驗、服務相關知識與人口統計變數，而就不同特性而言，對於「行動裝置易用性認知」與「行動應用服務可用性認知」亦有顯著差異。 就「通訊基礎建設」而言，良好的網路訊號與服務後端系統是提升可用性的主要效果來源之一，而「服務廠商因素」則需以產品策略與服務提供品質作為策略主軸；在「行動裝置易用性認知」中，軟硬體操作與使用者支援程度對「行動應用服務可用性認知」有著最大的效果來源，顯見行動裝置是否容易操作，使用者是否能得到適當支援乃為提升可用性的主要直接原因；最後，本研究發現使用者的知識多寡在「行動裝置易用性認知」與「行動應用服務可用性認知」上皆有顯著差異，並顯示知識愈豐富的使用者往往認為行動裝置愈好用、行動網際網路服務的可用性愈高；因此，維護良好網路品質、擬定正確產品策略、改善行動裝置軟硬體操作、適時提供使用者支援與教育使用者皆可大幅提升整體服務的可用性水準。 / This study aims at building a framework to evaluate the usability of Taiwan’s mobile Internet services. An initial conceptual model is first constructed by a thorough literature review. It includes four influencing constructs: User Characteristics, Backend Infrastructure, Service Provider Aspects, and Ease of Use of Mobile Appliances. With the concepts of each construct defined, a survey is then conducted to verify the relationships among the variables. The analysis results show that User Characteristics and Ease of Use are directly related to the perceived usability, whereas Backend Infrastructure and Service Provider Aspects are indirectly related to the perceived usability. This implies that users perceive the usability through the mobile appliances’ ease of use. It is also concluded that fast and stable network connection, effective products strategy, superior service level, user-friendly mobile appliances, sufficient customer support and education for users are the keys to a successful mobile Internet service.

Kuriant sistemą, kuri turės sąsają internete, reikia turėti metodiką, kuria būtų galima vadovautis projektuojant šią sąsają. Objektinio projektavimo metoduose ir unifikuotame kūrimo procese RUP (angl. Rational Unified Process) nėra aprašytų specialių procesų interneto sąsajai kurti. Nors šia tema rašė nemažai autorių, tačiau sunku rasti vientisą metodiką, kuria galėtų vadovautis interneto sąsajos ir ja paremtos sistemos kūrėjas. Šiame darbe tiriami esami interneto sistemų sąsajos projektavimo metodai, šablonai bei įvairios kūrimo technologijos, siekiant juos sukonkretizuoti, apibendrinti ir sukurti metodinę medžiagą, kurią būtų galima taikyti interneto sistemas projektuojančioje organizacijoje, mokymo procese ar pateikti kaip gidą, bet kuriam interneto sąsajos projektuotojui. Šiais laikais kompiuteriai dalyvauja daugelyje sričių, ir bendravimas tarp žmogaus ir kompiuterio neišvengiamas. Kad vartotojas galėtų valdyti sistemą, šis bendravimas vyktų sklandžiai, reikalinga sąsaja. Esamos sistemos turi sąsają, tačiau susistemintos metodikos, kaip reikėtų kurti tą sąsają, nėra daug, ji išsklaidyta atskiruose literatūros šaltiniuose ar interneto puslapiuose. Dažnai ši metodika slypi projektuotojų mintyse, bet ji taip ir lieka neaprašyta ir pats sąsajos projektavimas būna intuityvus. / Nowadays, information system creation process consists of several different actions, one of those actions – web interface design. Web interface design process requires a good methodology, to make web interface process better, quicker, flexible and satisfy other web interface design criterions. RUP (Rational Unified Process) don’t present any special creation process of internet web interface. Frequently web interface design process lies in the head of it’s designers. There are no full methodology of web interface design process in one place, only some web interface advices or articles about one or other web interface process steps could be found. The goal of this work is to make a methodology of web interface design and implement it for internet service provider system. Methodology also would be useful for companies which participate in web interface design process, also in school or university study process, or like a guide for any web interface designer. The developed methodology for web interface design was used for implementing internet service provider system web interface, system design process and redesign above-mentioned system web interface for measuring process times. Methodology of web interface design, reduce web interface design process time, help to make web interface design process easier, more flexible and understandable for web interface designer, also certain better web interface appearance independence from system functional part, with possibility to...

Digitaliseringen har påverkat samhället i sin helhet, men det saknas aktuell forskning om digitaliseringen av socialt arbete. Därför har vi valt att kartlägga och diskutera området - empiriskt och teoretiskt. Studien ämnar kartlägga och jämföra socialtjänstens kommunala webbsidor kring den information som berör ekonomiskt bistånd, med koppling till rådande lagstiftning, mediateori och språkets betydelse. Studien studerar kommunernas användning av e-tjänster kopplade till ekonomiskt bistånd, sett till jämlikhet och tillgänglighet. Empirin, vilken inhämtats från tio svenska kommunala webbsidor med inriktning ekonomiskt bistånd, analyseras genom kvalitativ innehållsanalys som kompletteras med kvantifiering, genom frekvensanalys. Analysen tydliggjorde en domän; tillgänglighet, och två teman; information och kommunikation. Studien utgår från teorin om den andra mediaåldern, McDonaldisering, semiotik och isomorfism. Semiotisk teori har bidragit till att granska det latenta och manifesta, isomorfism för att förklara skillnader och likheter, samt McDonaldisation för att upptäcka effektivisering. Studiens resultat påvisar både likheter och skillnader mellan kommunerna. Skillnader återfinns i förhållning till tillgänglighet, begriplighet, samt hantering av lagstiftning. Vad gäller likheter tenderar informationen på webbsidorna att baseras på Socialtjänstlagen, kommunerna beskriver ansökningsprocessen på liknande sätt, samt att informationen är begränsad till svenska. Studiens resultat diskuterar tillgänglighet sett till kommunikation och information. Resultatet relateras till jämlikhet genom tillgång till e-tjänster inom socialtjänstens ekonomiska bistånd samt möjligheter till empowerment. Studiens resultat anger att fortsatt forskning behövs kring digitalisering och e-tjänster i socialt arbete, bland annat utifrån brukar- och personalperspektiv. / The digitalizing has affected the community as a whole, but current research about social work and its digitalization is lacking. Because of which, we have chosen to study and discuss this area - empirical and theoretical. This study aims to analyze and compare social services municipal websites regarding information about financial aid related to the current legislation, media theory and the importance of language. This study scrutinizes, through equality and availability, the usage of e-services regarding financial aid in municipals. The empirical data, which is gathered from ten Swedish municipal websites regarding financial aid, is analyzed by qualitative content analysis complemented by quantification, through frequency analysis. From the analysis a domain emerged; availability, and two themes; information and communication. This study has its base in The second media age, McDonaldization, semiotics and isomorfism. The theory of semiotics has contributed to a review regarding latent and manifest information, isomorfism to explain differences and similarities, and McDonaldization to explore efficiency. The result of the study indicates both similarities and differences among the websites. Differences were found concerning availability, intelligibility, and the usage of legislation. Similarities tend to exist in which the information on the websites were based on Social Services act, the municipals described the application process similar, and the information was limited to Swedish language. The result of the study discuss availability regarding communication and information. The result relates to equality through access to e-services within social services financial aid and opportunities to empowerment. The result of this study specify the need of proceeded research concerning digitalizing and e-services within social services, among other things on user and personnel perspective.

This paper discusses the history and recent developments pertaining to ISPs' liability for copyright infringement in the European Union. Section I. explains ISPs' basic roles on the Internet, discusses practical grounds justifying a special liability regime for ISPs and outlines the EU legal framework providing safe harbor provisions for ISPs' liability and transposition of these rules into the legal system of the Czech Republic. Section II. describes how judicial decisions in the EU Member States eroded safe harbor rules and how these decisions were subsequently overturned by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJ). The section continues with an examination of the latest judgment of the CJ in UPC Telekabel Wien concerning new rules (or lack thereof) for website-blocking injunctions. Section III. discusses notable examples of EU Member states' legislation or legislative proposals which aimed to put a stop to "online piracy" and copyright infringement. Considerable part of this section analyzes the recent controversial system set up by the Italian communications regulator AGCOM. Section IV. describes examples of increasing voluntary collaboration between ISPs and content owners, which has the potential to effectively combat online piracy and benefit all parties involved. Section V. explores...

This research proposes a new dynamic energy management framework for a backbone Internet Protocol over Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (IP over DWDM) network. Maintaining the logical IP-layer topology is a key constraint of our architecture whilst saving energy by infrastructure sleeping and virtual router migration. The traffic demand in a Tier 2/3 network typically has a regular diurnal pattern based on people‟s activities, which is high in working hours and much lighter during hours associated with sleep. When the traffic demand is light, virtual router instances can be consolidated to a smaller set of physical platforms and the unneeded physical platforms can be put to sleep to save energy. As the traffic demand increases the sleeping physical platforms can be re-awoken in order to host virtual router instances and so maintain quality of service. Since the IP-layer topology remains unchanged throughout virtual router migration in our framework, there is no network disruption or discontinuities when the physical platforms enter or leave hibernation. However, this migration places extra demands on the optical layer as additional connections are needed to preserve the logical IP-layer topology whilst forwarding traffic to the new virtual router location. Consequently, dynamic optical connection management is needed for the new framework. Two important issues are considered in the framework, i.e. when to trigger the virtual router migration and where to move virtual router instances to? For the first issue, a reactive mechanism is used to trigger the virtual router migration by monitoring the network state. Then, a new evolutionary-based algorithm called VRM_MOEA is proposed for solving the destination physical platform selection problem, which chooses the appropriate location of virtual router instances as traffic demand varies. A novel hybrid simulation platform is developed to measure the performance of new framework, which is able to capture the functionality of the optical layer, the IP layer data-path and the IP/optical control plane. Simulation results show that the performance of network energy saving depends on many factors, such as network topology, quiet and busy thresholds, and traffic load; however, savings of around 30% are possible with typical medium-sized network topologies.

With the enactment of Law 12,965 of April 23, 2014, known as Civil Marco of the Internet, doctrinal definitions were modified and new concepts were integrated into the legal system. And so it was with the liability of internet service providers. This tune and upon the a sandy soil of so young a subject, we will seek to form a logical system of the liability of internet service providers, having as main objective the fair and systematic application of the law, resulting in the effective protection of the user, without improperly burdening the providers / Neste estudo iremos enfrentar a problemática da responsabilidade do provedor de internet pelo conteúdo gerado por terceiro. Com a edição da Lei 12.965, de 23 de abril de 2014, conhecida como Marco Civil da Internet, definições doutrinárias foram alteradas e novos conceitos foram inseridos no sistema jurídico. E assim o foi com a responsabilidade civil dos provedores de internet. Nessa toada e sobre o terreno ainda arenoso de um assunto tão moço, buscaremos formar sistema lógico da responsabilidade dos provedores de internet, tendo como objetivo precípuo a aplicação justa e sistemática do Direito, que resulte na eficaz proteção do usuário, sem onerar indevidamente os provedores
