‘Lawyers who are interested in looking beyond the law as it is, to see how economists are questioning copyright systems as they respond to technological change, are sure to find something of interest in this collection.’
– David Lewisohn, Entertainment Law Review
‘. . . this collection of essays is soundly written and impressively backed up by references to source materials. It provides some stimulating reading.’
– Kevin Garnett, Copyright World Magazine
A great deal has been written on the theoretical aspects of copyright and the cultural industries but much less on the applied side – how copyright law works in practice. How do lawyers, firms and artists manage and administer copyright and what economic and legal problems does this raise? In recent times in particular, technological inventions appear to have outpaced the development of copyright law. This illuminating book addresses these issues and looks at the serious implications for copyright policy in the future.
