| Abstract: | Creative Commons (CC) organization released in 2003 six licenses, which take part of the copyright protection and let other parts fall in the public domain. Consequently, they lower the price of works for future works (inputs) and as an outcome increase creativity and number of works created. On the other hand, CC licenses can serve also as a substitutes to the pure copyright. This thesis examine the impact by analysing United States copyright registration and CC linkback data. The results show insignificance of CC licenses impact on pure copyright licenses. Based on the results I found weak evidence for complementary relationship between the two. Finally, I show that there is no difference between the types of CC licenses as an determinants of number of pure copyright licenses. |

| Abstract: | Organizácia Creative Commons (CC) vytvorila v roku 2003 šesť licencií, ktoré používajú iba časť copyright ochrany, kým zvyšné časti ponechávajú voľné. Následkom toho sa znižuje cena diel slúžiacich ako vstupy pre budúce diela a výsledkom je zvýšená kreativita a počet vytvorených diel. Na druhej strane, CC slúžia aj ako substitút k plnej copyright ochrane. Práca skúma tento vplyv analyzovaním počtu registrácií z United States Copyright Office a CC linkback dát. Výsledky ukazujú nesignifikantnosť vplyvu. Napriek tomu, konzistentne pozitívne koeficienty naznačujú komplementárny vzťah. Posledným zistením je nerozdielnosť vplyvu medzi jednotlivými typmi CC licencií ako determinantov počtu copyright licencií. |
