Standpoints submitted in public consultations on the proposal for amendment of the Act on Copyright and Related Rights have been made public, reaching as many as 66 in number!

The Ministry of Culture and National Heritage has published long-awaited opinions of institutions with a stake in the formulation of this law.

The New Technologies Law Association (SPNT) has also presented its standpoint. Attorney-at-law Agnieszka Wachowska, working with Mikolaj Sowinski, are coordinating the work of the IT working group.

While the amendment is mainly concerned with implementation of the DSM directive and SATCAB II, the amendment is interesting due to the proposed rewording of art. 77 of the Copyright Law, which makes certain provisions non-applicable to software. The list of the provisions non-applicable to software has been expanded to include art. 68 of the Copyright Law, which deals with license agreement validity periods and notice periods.

In recent years, there have been leaks with such large productions as Grand Theft Auto 6, Fallout 4 or The Last of Us 2. In the latter case, this forced Sony to change the marketing campaign and accelerate the launch of the game. Sony admitted that it suffered losses as a result.

We Are All Inventors! Here Is A Story Of A Cup, A Straw With A Weight, And Two Parents Who Changed The Parenting Industry.

Imagine a scene known to probably every parent. A child is in a car seat or a cot and tries to drink water from a cup. The cup is shut tight, the straw is in place, but in the lying position, the liquid suddenly escapes somewhere to the side, and all the toddler sucks is air. In such a situation, the parent usually either sighs and places the mug at a different angle, or, as history has shown many times, comes up with an idea how to solve this problem once and for all.
