The article is an archaeological description of ideologies related to the authorship in modern Hungarian literature. It presents the results of a sociological analysis of the discussions around the proposals on the first copyright law. According to the author, the approach which considers copyright as a mere social response to the economic valorization of literature, or to a new chance to the authors to make a living through writing, or to the acceptance of authorship as a legitimate civic career reflects a narrow focus. Debates about copyright thematize other important issues as well, like the national protectionism in literature and art, the problem of the border between the authorship and intellectual property, dilemmas related to the value and authorship etc. These questions do not seem to have lost their actuality, indeed, in the era of digital authorship they show up again with great vehemence.

The basic idea of the study refers to a previous sociological observation that social relations contribute to increased self-confidence, sense of security and motivation (through bonding-type relations) and problem solving (through access to help through bridging-type relations) of the individuals. 

The author explores the possibilities through which in the online space, through culture, these relationships can be built and used more efficiently. He proposes an online news platform which is both event- and community-driven and is able to mobilize both the bonding and bridging relationships of users. By combining the operational network architecture of Facebook and Twitter, the author proposes a community portal optimized for tracking individual and group problems, which – through a technological background tuned to intersubjectivity and knowledge – motivates the user to go through the whole scale of possible relationships between bonding and bridging, thus providing a complete community experience.

The study is a description of cultural consumption styles of Romanian citizens based on the "Barometer of Cultural Consumption" survey conducted in 2005. Using principal component analysis method, the author defines nine types of cultural consumption which are presented in detail then the frequency of their occurrence is analyzed in several culturally segmented social categories. The main conclusion of the analysis is that social and cultural stratification, even if they interfere, do not overlap; however, the cultural stratification combines class criteria through differentiations along economic resources, place of residence, age or gender.
