This volume takes a look at the six most important current topics arising from copyright law in the information society, and for each topic provides an in-depth introduction that compares the approaches taken in Europe and the US. Each topic is introduced by an expert, and the issues are then analyzed in separate country reports representing nine Asian jurisdictions: China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines. The topics examined are: the expansion of copyright law and its social justification; internet trade, digital works, and parallel imports; the collective exercise of copyrights; the law on anti-circumvention and digital rights management; copyright contracts, public policy, and antitrust; and contributory and vicarious liability for copyright infringement.

Editorial Reviews
Review
it is an interesting and helpful format to have the practical effect of the implementation of various international laws and instruments at issue set down in reports from different jurisdictionsThe structure of the book overall is helpful because it follows a natural progression with complementary issues effectively placed side by sideDiscussion of these issues, backed up by evidence in the form of country reports from those Asian jurisdictions where they are most relevant, are the real draw-cards of this collection.Louise BuckinghamCopyright ReporterVol 25 No 1 Feb 2007essential reading for anyone practising copyright law with an eye on Asia. It is also indispensable for anyone desiring a succinct and forceful analysis of the latest technology issues in copyright law.Yee Fen LimJournal of Intellectual Property Law and PracticeVol. 3, No. 1, 2008consistently thought-provoking to say the leastAny advanced copyright researcher should have a copy.Alice LeeSingapore Journal of Legal StudiesDecember 2007
