As copyright issues grow more complicated, this guide to US copyright law becomes ever more indispensable. The fifth edition has been updated to include recent judicial and legislative decisions concerning copyright and the debates surrounding publication on the Web and other new media. What continue to distinguish the book are the author's common sense and his ability to express complex issues and judicial decisions in language that the lay reader can understand and even enjoy.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"This excellent introduction to copyright law will be welcomed by people who use copyrighted works—teachers, librarians, performers, businesspeople—and the artists and authors who create them... The 11 chapters, all clearly subdivided for easy access, cover topics such as the subjects matter of copyright ownership, transfers of copyright, registering a copyright claim, subsidiary rights, compulsory licenses, and infringement and 'fair' use. A detailed subject index allows ready access to the text."
— American Reference Books Annual (review of the first edition)
"This summation and exegesis of the 1978 copyright law is a masterpiece of clarity in a field that sorely needs it. It should be a welcome guide to all who fish in these troubled waters."

The Unpractical Guide is more like it,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Copyright Book, Fifth Edition: A Practical Guide (Hardcover)
It is not easy to understand. It deals with much more international stuff than is practical. Its a reasonable book but not what is sounds like
