Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a valuable account of a parliamentary select committee convened during 1898-99 at the behest of the UK Board of Trade and the copyright law reforms it recommended to address the contemporary challenges of its day, including technology-led changes in reproducing and distributing works across national borders. These reforms would later become law, and would have far-reaching impact on the way copyright was understood worldwide. Importantly, it exposes the practical concerns surrounding issues of copyright law as it then stood: a time when the influence of technological advances in reproduction and the growth in international travel and communication were putting pressure on the existing framework. The book explores the range of complex issues that were identified by the committee, proposing significant amendments to existing legislation to address them, transforming the approach to copyright law and its international application. The volume also includes the record of the committee's proceedings and the oral evidence provided by expert witnesses, making this an unparalleled resource for anyone interested in the history of copyright law.
