Riassunto

International Copyright: Principles, Law, and Practice surveys and analyzes the legal doctrines affecting copyright practice around the world, in both transactional and litigation settings. It provides a step-by-step methodology for advising clients involved in exploiting creative works in or from foreign countries. Written by two of the most esteemed experts of copyright law in the United States and Europe, this volume is a unique synthesis of copyright law and practice, taking into account the Berne Convention, the TRIPs Agreement, the ongoing harmonization of copyright in the European Union, and the impact of the Internet. National copyright rules on protectible subject matter, ownership, term, and rights are covered in detail and compared from country to country, as are topics on moral rights and neighboring rights. Separate sections cover such important topics as territoriality, national treatment and choice of law, as well as the treaty and trade arrangements that underlie substantive copyright norms.

International Copyright is an indispensable reference work for professionals involved with international copyright transactions or litigation, and is essential reading for copyright scholars.

Recensione:

Authoritative, lucid and informative. The structure is excellent and enables the reader to easily follow the discussion. I would heartily recommend this book as an important addition to any copyright collection. (Charlotte Waelde, Journal of Media Law)

Whether you are an expert in current (and past) copyright issues, or you just commenced in piercing this multi-layered veil of substantive and procedural rules, you will find simple and neat answers to most of the topics debated in the arena of the protection of authors, producers, and even consumers in the so-called 'media world.' (Luciano Daffarra, les Nouvelles)
