Review
"This wonderful, funny, and clever comic makes a very complex issue simple... I keep a copy in my desk." Davis Guggenheim, Oscar-winning director of the documentary An Inconvenient Truth "An indispensable guide for the perplexed (ain't we all!) in this postmodern information age." Art Spiegelman, Pulitzer Prize-winning comic book artist "A knockout comic book about fair use and filmmaking. Bound by Law? riffs expertly on classic comic styles, from the Crypt Keeper to Mad Magazine, superheroes to Understanding Comics, and lays out a sparkling, witty, moving and informative story about how the eroded public domain has made documentary filmmaking into a minefield." Cory Doctorow, co-editor of the blog BoingBoing.net "Bound by Law? stars Akiko, a curvaceous, muscular filmmaker (think Tomb Raider's Lara Croft with spiky hair) planning to shoot a documentary about a day in the life of New York City... [It] translates law into plain English and abstract ideas into 'visual metaphors.' So the comic's heroine, Akiko, brandishes a laser gun as she fends off a cyclopean 'Rights Monster' --all the while learning copyright law basics, including the line between fair use and copyright infringement."Brandt Goldstein, The Wall Street Journal online

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book undertakes a comprehensive exploration of copyright law in the United States, paying close attention to its historical development, the intent behind its creation, and the ways that it has been implemented and applied over time. The author provides a detailed examination of the ways that copyright law has adapted over time to accommodate new technologies and media, while still maintaining a delicate balance between the realm of public ownership and the realm of private ownership of creative works. Along the way, the author provides a fascinating look at several historical court cases that have tested the limits of fair use and copyright law, offering valuable insights into the complexities of this legal landscape. Ultimately, this book sheds light on the ways copyright law has been distorted over time, and highlights the need for reform to ensure that it continues to promote the creation and distribution of knowledge and culture.
