9781331262961: The Question of Copyright: Comprising the Text of the Copyright Laws of the United States, a Summary of the Copyright Laws at Present in Force in the Chief Countries of the World (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

This book is the culmination of nearly half a century of effort by individuals and copyright committees to secure American copyright for foreign authors, bringing the US up to the standards of literary protection set by other countries as long ago as 1836. It presents a comprehensive summary of the copyright laws and international conventions in force at the time of its publication, as well as a brief abstract of measures then under consideration in England, some of which have since become law. The essays included in this book, written by experts in the field, explore the intricacies of copyright, especially as it applies to international law and the rights of authors and their readers. The book remains an essential resource for anyone interested in the history, evolution, and complexities of international copyright law.
