5.0 out of 5 stars
A great primer for both practitioners and neophytes,
By Blue Meanie (Glen Ridge, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Copyright Law (Paperback)
Stim has a knack for delivering content that is valuable for both the lawyer and the layperson. If you are a business person in need of a quick overview of copyright law, this book will give you a clearly-written explanation of what can be copyrighted, how to register your copyright, and the basic defenses to a copyright infringement action. Attorneys will appreciate the ample legal cites. This writer used the book as an overview to prep for a copyright course in law school... and it has made all the difference.

This review is from: Copyright Law (Paperback)
This book is a wonderful review of copyright law. Its short, easy to read and very complete. If you are a student or simply curious as to current copyright law I highly recommend this book. If you are more advanced in IP law, I recommend this book only to complete your collection.
