About this title

Synopsis

Stageright explains the law that governs who may present plays, music, and lectures in public—and how authors, composers, and presenters protect their work.

This concise reference surveys the common-law rights, statutory rules, and practical remedies that shape theatrical and musical performance. It also explains how registration, piracy, and infringement are treated in court, with guidance on remedies, evidence, and proceedings.

This edition frames the scope and value of the author’s and performer’s rights, including how assets, assignments, and bankruptcy affect ownership. It notes key distinctions between common-law protections and statutory copyright, and it explains what constitutes piracy, fair use, and legitimate adaptation on the English stage.

Clear explanations of common-law rights and statutory copyright as they apply to dramatic and musical works
Guidance on infringement, piracy, and the role of juries and courts
Practical discussion of registration, assignments, and remedies including injunctions and penalties
Notes on related matters in the Appendix, including international copyright considerations

Ideal for readers of historic copyright law and stage-rights, this edition serves as a practical reference for lawyers, managers, authors, and scholars.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
