Synopsis

Copyright Law is organized in a straightforward way that deals comprehensively with the technology and globalization of copyright law. It provides discussion of copyright and digital technologies throughout the book; offers integrated treatment of international materials from beginning to end; features a separate chapter on secondary liability; and provides renewed attention to aspects of the first Anglo-American copyright act. The Ninth Edition includes: Current treatment of legislative projects and recent enactments to copyright legislation, including The Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act of 2010 (STELA), The Copyright Cleanup, Clarification, and Corrections Act of 2010, and the failed attempt to enact the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in January 2012; and coverage of many new cases, including Golan v. Holder (restored copyrights), Viacom International, Inc. v. YouTube, Inc. (DMCA "safe harbors"), Salinger v. Colting (fair use), and Righthaven, LLC v. Wolf (standing to sue).

This book also is available in a three-hole punched, alternative loose-leaf version printed on 8.5 x 11 inch paper with wider margins and with the same pagination as the hardbound book.
