Labour Movement in Germany
1848 to 1914
In 1815, after the end of the Napoleonic wars, Europe reinvented itself. The Congress of Vienna created new states and changed a great number of borders. After the devastating war years, now a deceptive peace was reigning and people could focus on normal life again. The era of advancing industrialisation had been heralded and changed the economy in all of Europe and thereby the workers’ role. In the large enterprises they had become stooges for the new machines, had to adapt to their rhythm. Oppression and exploitation led to the pauperisation and impoverishment of the newly created working class. Discontent and unrest were foreseeable. Severe social conflict accompanied the time of early industrialisation in Europe. The workers realised that the time had come to discuss working hours, wages and the right to lead more civilised lives.

Copyright
Copyright is subject to constant change to keep up with technological advances. This film enables the viewer to grasp the basic principles of this extremely intricate matter. By way of introduction, the film defines what an author is, what kinds of works there are and how long a work is protected on principle. Then the fundamental rights of an author are cited and it is shown how these are exploited in our times. In the third chapter, the respective rights are illustrated by way of practice-oriented examples of books, photos, music and films. Here, of course, an emphasis is laid on the field of education, taking into account the latest case law within the EU and Austria in particular. A further chapter highlights the problems arising with the Internet and goes into the citation law and pirate copies. All in all, in this way the viewer is made familiar with the most important basic terms and their meanings. Comprehensive worksheets and additional accompanying material invite us to deepen our knowledge of the subject.
