3.0 out of 5 stars
too much policy, too little editing,
By Oakland Gal (Oakland, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Copyright in a Global Information Economy (Casebook) (Hardcover)
This is the kind of casebook that includes a million hypo's and asks itself questions. Extremely frustrating.
The book also tends to include full cases where it should include squibs. On the plus side, it includes pictures where relevant.

How is this case book different from this hypothetical?,
By
This review is from: Copyright in a Global Information Economy (Casebook) (Hardcover)
Consider the following:
I, the snarky reviewer, have read this casebook, whereas you have not, creating an asymmetry of knowledge that would seem to suggest aggregate knowledge of this casebook could be most efficiently increased by my explaining it to you. You, the reader, have sought out this review for the purpose of uncovering knowledge about this casebook that others may possess by virtue of their experience with said book. Could the foregoing be analogized to the aforementioned casebook? In what ways is it more or less helpful in promoting your goal of increased knowledge in the area of this casebook? Has this review fully complied with the Japan's minority interpretation of the Berne Convention? What is a copyright? (exam tomorrow so please expedite the last one)

Make sure they are not pawning off their stock of old editions on you!!!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Copyright in a Global Information Economy (Casebook) (Hardcover)
Wrong edition -- not sure why the outdated edition is still being advertised, especially when you have the new one in stock. By the time I realized it was the wrong one it was too late for me to try & return it. I understand that you probably need to get rid of your stock of old editions & maybe I should have made sure that it was the correct edition I was ordering, but it still seems slightly shady that amazon would do that. You got my one hundred & something dollars this time, & you would have have likely gotten a lot more in the future, but now I will likely never order another book from amazon again, my guess is I am not the only one that feels this way, as I have a number of classmates that have expressed similar sentiments -- especially when law school text books are just so expensive anyways.
