Postwar North America saw a fundamental change in the function, layout, and location of the parents' bedroom and bathroom in the typical middle-class home. This thesis argues that the representations of bedrooms and bathrooms in house plans published by the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), in bathroom advertisements which appeared in women's magazines, trade periodicals, and architectural journals, and, in the 1959 film Pillow Talk, point to women's increased power in the immediate postwar years and constitute a foreshadowing of the Women's Liberation Movement of the 1960s. By revisiting the domestic landscape of postwar North America, this thesis provides an account of women's changing role in postwar society and suggests that architecture played a part in this transformation.

The intellectual property concept of 'communication to the public of the broadcast works by radio or television receivers' in Article 23 of the Czech copyright act is a current issue especially in a relation to the exception to this right in favour of health establishments that has been called in a question in front of both Czech courts and CJEU. The most important criteria of communication to the public -- laid down by CJEU -- suggest that the concept should be interpreted broadly, covering all transmissions, regardless of the means used and the nature of the place for the communication. A public refers to an indeterminate but fairly high number of people who constitute so called new public. In order to fall within the scope of a lawful exception the criteria of the so called 'three-step test' must be met as well as the formal criteria stated in the abovementioned Article. The most recent cases discussed in this work dealt with the transmission of the protected works by means of television sets located in the bedrooms of the guests of spa establishments. Although it was held by CJEU that this exception does not comply with EU law, it is still part of the Czech law and Czech courts must cope with it.
