Although a bit dated now (2001, author added an epilogue to the paperback edition that came out in 2003), you get a great handle on all the basic concepts of American copyright law. Prof. Vaidhyanathan makes the history of copyright -- especially the early days of American publishing -- come alive. Mark Twain, the Marx Brothers et al as well as their copyright exploits are explored with appropriate parallels drawn to today's issues. Vaidhyanathan makes a persuasive case for "weak" copyright that encourages innovation and creativity -- with appropriate protections for rights holders. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Copyright reflects far more than economic interests. Embedded within conflicts over royalties and infringement are cultural values-about race, class, access, ownership, free speech, and democracy-which influence how rights are determined and enforced. Questions of legitimacy-of what constitutes "intellectual property" or "fair use," and of how to locate a precise moment of cultural creation-have become enormously complicated in recent years, as advances in technology have exponentially increased the speed of cultural reproduction and dissemination.
