This chapter explores the legal framework of copyright and streaming services in the Czech Republic, analyzing their classification under Czech copyright law. Streaming is considered a form of communication to the public, encompassing both linear and non-linear forms, such as webcasting, simulcasting, and on-demand streaming. However, Czech legal doctrine has yet to provide a comprehensive examination of streaming-related issues. The study reviews how Czech law aligns with the InfoSoc Directive, the WIPO Copyright Treaty, and the Berne Convention. A significant focus is placed on the legal qualification of streaming services under Czech copyright law, distinguishing between broadcasting and communication to the public. The chapter also also addresses copyright clearance mechanisms, including collective management, mandatory licensing, and multi-territorial licensing under Directive 2014/26/EU. Furthermore, authors examine the legal liability of streaming-related activities, differentiating between users, intermediaries, and consumers. Special attention is given to the liability regime under Czech law, particularly the principles of fault-based and strict liability, and how these rules apply to hosting providers and online platforms under the E-Commerce Directive and the Digital Single Market (CDSM) Directive.
