Kiberangelčki umazanega obraza
The impetus for this article was the campaign conducted on the Internet last year and the year before by anonymous individuals trying to discredit Izum’s management. Some of the legal and technological aspects of cyberstalking are pointed out, and ways of dealing with the problem of cybercrime, based on US and EU legislation, are also presented. The objective of the article is to have cyberstalking recognised as a serious social problem which merits, as a special type of criminal offense, the attention of the Slovenian legislature. The biggest problem is actually drawing a boundary line between cyberstalking which is a unique continuity of speech activities, and freedom of speech which is one of the greatest values of a democratic society in Western civilisation and protected by law.

Systemization of work as a process
Modern systemization of work must become a process just as other organizational processes monitored by it. The purpose of our research was to create an SWP model (systemization of work as a process model) for knowledge-based business functions, which will be useful in practice and will make it possible to organise work on the basis of employee competencies and to form salaries on the basis of effective work time, and complexity and quality of work. During research we designed an SWP model and presented how to determine the complexity of tasks based on the required competencies, the criteria for determining the quality of work and the method of recording effective work.
Structural crisis of copyright, part 2
Avtorska pravica je vrsta intelektualne lastnine. Beseda "avtorska pravica" ni najbolj posrečen prevod izraza "copyright" (pravica do kopiranja izvoda), hkrati pa je tudi zavajajoča, kot da bi bil osrednja oseba avtor, ne pa imetnik pravice do kopiranja. Avtor je vsekakor imetnik moralne avtorske pravice, vendar je zelo redko tudi imetnik materialnih pravic. Moralne avtorske pravice nimajo tržne vrednosti in so s stališča družbenega sistema, v katerem šteje le denar, nepomembne. Stališče do avtorske pravice je odvisno tudi od poslovnega modela, kot sta npr. model "dolgega repa" ali model "zastonj".
Information resources in the academic environment
Learning and knowledge acquisition with new forms of learning in the education process is based on one"s construction and deconstruction of meaning and the learner"s interaction with the world in a certain social and cultural environment. Each person is responsible for their own learning and how to manage it. As active learning is based on independent and active engagement in the teaching and learning process, finding and gathering information from various sources is an important part of any form of learning and teaching, particularly in the academic environment.
Structural crisis of copyright, part 1
Copyright is a type of intellectual property. Not only is the Slovene term "avtorska pravica" (author's right) not the best translation of the term copyright (i.e. the right to copy an item), it is also misleading, as if the central person is the author and not the holder of the right to copy something. While the author is undoubtedly the holder of the moral copyright, he is rarely also the holder of the material rights. Moral copyright has no market value and is insignificant from the perspective of a social system where only money counts. The attitude towards copyright also depends on the business model, e.g. "long-tail" or "freechange".
