5.0 out of 5 stars If you own only one copyright practice aid . . ., September 15, 1999
By A Customer
I used this book to learn Copyright law while in school. I have since found that is the essential guide for practice as well. Not many of my law school text books have made it to my office shelves. . .this book is not only in my office, but it is on my desk whenever an IP issue arises. It is excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Title Works, April 8, 2007
This review is from: Understanding Copyright Law (Paperback)
Copyright law, despite the fact that everybody these days claims to understand it and its surrounding issues, is an enormously complex and convoluted subject. You would not be blamed for dreading the study of copyright law, nor any book that claimed to wrap up the topic in one handy volume. It's a rare law book that not only makes use of such an affirmative title, but then actually lives up to it, and Leaffer has provided. After a very well-written introduction, the bulk of this book covers most of the different legal categories included in copyright law, from procedures to remedies to defenses. Leaffer is not afraid to take as much space as necessary to explain some of the law's convoluted provisions, as can be seen in the 100+ page chapter on exclusive rights. Best of all, Leaffer moves beyond the strict letter-of-the-law reductionism of standard law textbooks, and ably introduces many of the social, political, and cultural issues surrounding the modern uses (and misuses) of copyright law. And all of the above is presented in an informative writing style that consciously strives to not be as dry and pedantic as typical law texts. [~doomsdayer520~]

5.0 out of 5 stars PROBABLY THE BEST COPYRIGHT HORNBOOK OUT THERE, December 15, 2004
THis is the best Copyright treatise out there for law students ( You cant haul NIMMER multiple volumes around with you )It is incredibly concise - has all the relevant cases that are the providence of lawschool casebooks. It lays everything out in a logical manner - Doictrine, Case, Policy & Rule ( elements). I highly recommend this. Aslo recommended is the PLI ( Practising Law Institute's ) Copyright Law: A Practioner Guide. ALSO Recommended is the Sum & Substance CD titled Intellectual Property - they absolutely ROCK! - Has a very thorough treatment of Copyright Law & Law School Exam problem solving / pitfalls
