Book Description

June 4, 2008 0314169288 978-0314169280 1
Coverage ranges from the fundamental concepts of originality, authorship, and infringement, to the highly technical rules governing digital phonorecord deliveries and digital public performance rights in sound recordings, the safe harbor provisions that limit the liability of internet service providers, and the anti-circumvention and copyright management information provisions of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act. The ever-evolving doctrines of fair use and contributory liability are given thorough attention.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Helpful., December 8, 2010

This review is from: Copyright Law in a Nutshell (In a Nutshell (West Publishing)) (Paperback)
I used this book as a supplement to study for my copyright law final. The author did a really good job of combining the statutes, policy, and relevant cases. She covered almost everything we covered in class and gave me a good understanding of the relevant tests. It included the most recent dramatic changes in case law. It's a dry book, but it's a dry subject. If you need help understanding copyright law or how the statutes work together, get this!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not good as a study aid, February 2, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Copyright Law in a Nutshell (In a Nutshell (West Publishing)) (Paperback)
The organization is confusing and the book is far too brief an overview to be of any assistance. Moreover, the book spends a lot of time on fairly obscure statutory exceptions to general copyright law rather than providing a good overview of the basics - which is far more important on tests. The coverage of fair use is woefully inadequate. Examples & Explanations is much better.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Copyright Law in a Nutshell (In a Nutshell (West Publishing)) (Paperback)
This is a much better little textbook on copyright law. It is compact and you still have to do some wading through wordiness.
