Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Global Copyright: Three Hundred Years Since the
Book SynopsisThis innovative book celebrates the tri-centenary of modern copyright, which began with the enactment of the Statute of Anne by the British Parliament in 1709, and was soon followed by other copyright legislation abroad. The Statute of Anne is traditionally claimed to be the world’s first copyright statute, and is thus viewed as the origin of a system of national laws that today exists in virtually all countries of the world. However, this book illustrates that while there is some truth in this claim, it is also important to treat it with Written by leading experts from across the globe, this comprehensive (historical) analysis breaks new ground on modern copyright issues such as digital libraries, illegal downloading and distribution, international exhaustion and ‘new formalities’. The expert contributors consider what lessons can be learnt from the achievements made during the last 300 years, and whether they can be used to overcome the new challenges facing copyright.This in-depth scientific analysis of the legacy of the Statute of Anne 300 years on from its origins will provide copyright practitioners, academics, policy makers and postgraduate students with a unique and fascinating read.Trade Review‘Written by leading experts from across the globe, this comprehensive (historical) analysis breaks new ground on modern copyright issues. . .

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Copyright, Communication and Culture: Towards a
Book SynopsisIn this provocative book, Carys Craig challenges the assumptions of possessive individualism embedded in modern day copyright law, arguing that the dominant conception of copyright as private property fails to adequately reflect the realities of cultural creativity.Employing both theoretical argument and doctrinal analysis, including the novel use of feminist theory, the author explores how the assumptions of modern copyright result in law that frequently restricts the kinds of expressive activities it ought to encourage. In contrast, Carys Craig proposes a relational theory of copyright based on a dialogic account of authorship, and guided by the public interest in a vibrant, participatory culture. Through a critical examination of the doctrines of originality and fair dealing, as well as the relationship between copyright and freedom of expression, she explores how this relational theory of copyright law could further the public purposes of the copyright system and the social values it embodies. This unique and insightful study will be of great interest to students and scholars of intellectual property, communications, cultural studies, feminist theory and the arts and humanities.Contents: 1.

Final Conclusions IndexTrade Review‘The book is elegantly written throughout and, despite my reservations, I find that it builds a persuasive argument. . . Throughout her book, Craig works tirelessly to persuade us of the veracity of her argument. . . her careful construction of the argument, showing us through judicious use of case law how small shifts in interpretation and attitude can start to make a significant difference, is noteworthy. My anxiety at the reliance of feminist scholarship was unfounded. While its influence is there, Craig’s thoughtful use of its authority means that it melds well into the broader focus of her thesis. I finished the book feeling energised and hopeful that there is perhaps a way that we can move from the current rather polarised and polemical approach and expansionary tendencies in copyright law to one that is more principled and balanced. I highly commend this book to you and hope that when you have read it, you will feel as refreshed as I did.’ -- Charlotte Waelde, Journal of Media LawTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Copyright and Cultural Heritage: Preservation and
Book SynopsisThanks to digitisation and the Internet, preservation of and access to our cultural heritage - which consists of works protected by copyright and works in the public domain - have never been easier. This essential book examines the twin issues of the preservation of, and access to, cultural heritage and the problems copyright law creates and the solutions it can at the same time provide. The expert contributors explore the extent to which current copyright laws from Europe and beyond prevent or help the constitution of a centralized online repository of our cultural heritage. Provided legal reform is achieved and the additional financial and organisational hurdles are overcome, this work argues that it should be possible to fulfill the dream of an online Alexandrian library.Copyright and Cultural Heritage will appeal strongly to both academics and practitioners of intellectual property as well as to policymakers - as it proposes modifications to copyright law in the UK and beyond. This book will also provoke thought amongst associated and interested parties from industry and those using, managing or distributing content.Trade Review‘This book, an edited collection of 2009 conference papers, provides a broad and thought-provoking account. . . I believe the collection will be a valuable addition to academic and law libraries.’ -- Susan Corbett, Prometheus‘. . . this work edited by Dr Derclaye offers a timely contribution, as it addresses the issue of orphan works by means of reference to legal deposit schemes. . . it is apparent that Copyright and Cultural Heritage is a valuable work, in that it approaches the issue of global preservation and access to works from many angles and employs both a multi-territorial and multidisciplinary approach.’ -- Eleonora Rosati, Journal of Intellectual Property Law and Practice‘Copyright and Cultural Heritage offers a fine pick discussing the preservation of cultural heritage and the Internet’s affects upon these efforts. . . Legal reforms, social issues such as access, and more makes this a fine college-level academic pick for legal and social issues collections concerned with intellectual property rights.’- The Midwest Book ReviewTable of ContentsContents: Introduction Estelle Derclaye PART I: THE EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVE 1.

Taylor & Francis Access and Control in Digital Humanities
Book SynopsisAccess and Control in Digital Humanities explores a range of important questions about who controls data, who is permitted to reproduce or manipulate data, and what sorts of challenges digital humanists face in making their work accessible and useful. Contributors to this volume present case studies and theoretical approaches from their experience with applications for digital technology in classrooms, museums, archives, in the field and with the general public. Offering potential answers to the issues of access and control from a variety of perspectives, the volume acknowledges that access is subject to competing interests of a variety of stakeholders. Museums, universities, archives, and some communities all place claims on how data can or cannot be shared through digital initiatives and, given the collaborative nature of most digital humanities projects, those in the field need to be cognizant of the various and often competing interests and rights that shape the Table of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis EU Trade Mark Law and Product Protection
Book SynopsisThis book employs scholarly analysis to ground practical tools for applying the EU Trade Mark law (EUTM) functionality refusal grounds to address business needs when registering trade marks consisting of product characteristics. The study comprehensively examines the absolute grounds for a refusal of registration of functional signs under EUTM. It interprets the functionality refusal grounds through objective tests, focusing on the pro-competition rationale of denying trade mark exclusivity on product features that are technically or aesthetically important for competitorsâ ability to trade in alternative products. The work takes a comparative approach looking at the US trade dress functionality doctrine, and a law and economics perspective on the role of trade marks and brands in the marketplace. It explores how competition rules related to market definition and the substitutability of products, as well as marketing and design findings related to branding and aesthetics, could be integrated into the legal assessment of EUTM functionality. The volume will be of interest to academics and researchers working in the areas of Intellectual Property Law, Trade Mark and Design Law, EU Law, Comparative Law, and Branding.

WW Norton & Co Kafkas Last Trial The Case of a Literary Legacy
Book SynopsisWinner of the 2020 Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature "Dramatic and illuminating…[R]aises momentous questions about nationality, religion, literature, and even the Holocaust." —Adam Kirsch, The AtlanticTrade Review"Fascinating and forensically scrupulous." -- John Banville - The Guardian"A tale pitting two Goliaths against one octogenarian David, untangled in exacting, riveting detail.… [A] must-read." -- Rebecca Schuman - Slate"Thoughtful and provocative." -- Ruth Franklin - The Wall Street Journal"A gifted cultural historian with a scholarly sensibility." -- Lev Mendes - The New York Times Book Review"Absorbing.… Balint elegantly intercuts courtroom scenes with episodes from Kafka’s biography and cultural afterlife. He brings out every paradox of a judicial process that tried to tie down this most ambivalent of authors, the ultimate ‘disaffiliated pariah,’ to a fixed identity.… Balint’s scrupulous and sardonic prose makes you love Kafka, and dread the law." -- The Economist"Though Benjamin Balint’s masterful hunt for Kafka’s rightful ownership begins as a local dispute in an Israeli family court, it soon thickens into modernity’s most bitterly contentious cultural conundrum. Who should inherit Franz Kafka? The woman into whose hands his manuscripts fortuitously fell? Germany, the nation that murdered his sisters but claims his spirit? Israel, asserting a sovereign yet intimate ancestral right? Searing questions of language, of personal bequest, of friendship, of biographical evidence, of national pride, of justice, of deceit and betrayal, even of metaphysical allegiance, burn through Balint’s scrupulous trackings of Kafka’s final standing before the law." -- Cynthia Ozick, author of Foreign Bodies"Thrilling and profound, Kafka’s Last Trial shines new light not only on the greatest writer of the twentieth century and the fate of his work, but also on the larger question of who owns art or has a right to claim guardianship of it. Benjamin Balint combines the sharp eye of the courtroom journalist with the keen meditations of a literary and cultural thinker, and his research and lively intelligence deliver insights on every page." -- Nicole Krauss, author of Forest Dark"Kafka’s Last Trial is a fascinating inquiry into—and meditation on—the nature of artistic genius and the proprietary claims any one individual or country has on the legacy of that genius. Benjamin Balint is both a superb investigative journalist and a gifted cultural critic. This is that rarest of books: a scholarly work that is also compulsively readable." -- Daphne Merkin, author of This Close to Happy: A Reckoning with Depression"Superb.… Beautifully crafted, with just the right ratios of empirical-legal information, intellectual history, critical awareness of Kafka and his work, and wise reflection. It is obviously the product of admirably patient research and rare dedication to quality control." -- Stanley A. Corngold, professor emeritus of German and Comparative Literature, Princeton University"A highly entertaining story of literary friendship, epic legal battles and cultural politics centered on one of the most enigmatic writers of the 20th century.… [A]n exquisitely human drama peopled with an eccentric cast of characters that beautifully evokes the early days of Israel, the sadness of the exiles, and the long shadow cast by the Holocaust." -- Guy Chazan - Financial Times

Victoria-Sophie Stracke deals with the question as to which options certain social media make available to their users and whether, due to said options, the right of communication to the public goes in compliance with Section 15 (2) of the German Act on Copyright and Related Rights (UrhG). In studying users'' actions, she carefully considers case law of the European Court of Justice on the author''s right of communication to the public under Article 3 (1) of the Information Society Directive. In addition, the author also examines the limits governing users whilst investigating what responsibility social media operators hold for infringements by their users.
