Abstract
The article considers a variety of legal issues concerning effective means of sharing audiovisual programmes which constitute archival goods held (in a proverbial ‘safe’) by the Polish public broadcaster TVP. The paper also addresses the issue of the so-called ‘copyrights revival’ concerning old programmes in the context of its extension to the Internet. The article discusses the use of the ‘Creative Commons’ license type, as a way of taking into account the needs of recipients to access audiovisual culture, as well as ensuring the conditions of the ‘Open Development Code’. Media convergence justifies also the thesis on the disappearance of differences between technical transmission modes and communication to the public over the Internet, and the creation of a single market for audiovisual media services. The article aims to present the legal path to opening the audiovisual ‘safe’ (audiovisual archives of the TVP) to facilitate future creativity, as well as to outline the public debate concerning the sphere of culture on respecting property rights. Key words: transformation, the public media service, archives, collection of programs, material media, intangible goods, intellectual property, TVP, complementary contribution, copyrights revival, digitization, Creative Commons, Creative Archive License, Open Development Code, TVP-COL, convergence.
