Cases on Copyright

The Tenth Edition continues its traditional emphasis on the fundamentals of copyright law while also offering an integrated treatment of current issues such as file-sharing, service provider liability, and anti-circumvention. This popular casebook remains distinctive in providing substantial coverage of related topics that affect the exploitation of works of authorship, including moral rights, unfair competition, and the right of publicity. It supplements traditional case and statutory analysis with a rich collection of background materials that provide a broad perspective on both established doctrine and emerging issues, especially the challenges created by the dissemination of works in digital form. Despite its breadth of coverage, the Tenth Edition remains manageable in size and is organized to accommodate either a two or three-credit course.
