Top Customer Reviews

By D. Taylor on January 27, 2015
Format: Hardcover
Unlike most non-legal text on copyright, this one is long on facts and historic context while leaving the fist pounding and pontification to others. I checked this book out of the library after seeing it on the "new arrivals" shelf. Having read it, wishing I could hi-light and annotate its pages with notes, I am now committed to buying it. The author is truly immersed in his subject historically, and the topical nuances of the present legal debates are given their place in history. The evolution of copyright is far more complex in England, European and America than it would appear from the bloggy diatribes dancing across the web today. In European, the question of the honor of the author and his/her ability to defend it was a major factor in determining the laws -- something that has never been an issue in America with its crass love of business for business sake. Likewise the crown-based publishers guild is a player in Europe. This book should be read by far more than professionals in IP, it should be read by everyone interested in civilization post-Renaissance. From Dickens to Disney, the last three centuries in particular could not have unfolded as they have without the struggles documented in the book. The latter parts of the book covers the struggle of computer software and digital rights as well. The internet-age seems to foster shallow, self-righteous, cherry-picked glossings from history, this book, on the other hand, is for those who would like a little more cake with their sprinkles and frosting.
