Copyright law

Tracking the Copyright Act of 1976 as amended through the close of the 20th century, this casebook facilities teaching of copyright law at the dawn of the third millennium. It examines traditional doctrines and the evolution of such doctrines in response to new and emerging technologies and theories. Concepts of digitization and globalization are intergrated throughout the book, rather than covered in separate chapters, reflecting their impact on all areas of copyright law. The final chapter examines the likely challenges in copyright law in the next century. The text includes: pertinent legislative history; thorough notes and questions; fully intergrated international mateials; accessble treatment of new considerations; and up-to-date selection of important decisions and legislation.
