If you're an attorney looking for advanced case law on copyright this book may be a little on the basic side for you, but coming at it like I did with very little prior knowledge I found this book to be very useful and did change the way I think about copyright and the fair use of materials. It is a useful book and reads quickly, it also suggests additional resources which you can jump to when you're finished with it and has a presentation associated with it that you can give to others. This will be a useful book in impacting how you approach copyright questions and the steps you take in thinking about fair use decisions, particularly if you're a teacher. However, don't come at it thinking it will give you all the answers, apparently every situation is different. The book does provide basic tools for evaluating those situations and determining if it is fair use of copyrighted material, however.
