Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Owning the Masters
Book SynopsisOwning the Masters provides the first in-depth history of sound recording copyright. It is this form of intellectual property that underpins the workings of the recording industry. Rather than being focused on the manufacture of goods, this industry is centred on the creation, exploitation and protection of rights. The development and control of these rights has not been straightforward. This book explores the lobbying activities of record companies: the principal creators, owners and defenders of sound recording copyright. It addresses the counter-activity of recording artists, in particular those who have fought against the legislative and contractual practices of record companies to claim these master rights for themselves. In addition, this book looks at the activities of the listening public, large numbers of whom have been labelled pirates' for trespassing on these rights. The public has played its own part in shaping copyright legislation. This is an essential subject forTrade ReviewCopyright is a tool used by record labels to extract value from recording artists, but it is also the mechanism that allows artists to profit from their music. In Owning the Masters, Richard Osborne deftly threads a historical narrative between these two positions. This book is indispensable reading for anyone trying to understand the role of copyright in the world today. * David Arditi, Associate Professor of Sociology and Anthropology, The University of Texas at Arlington, USA, and author of Getting Signed: Record Contracts, Musicians and Power in Society *Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Introduction 1.

Stanford University Press Copy This Book!: What Data Tells Us about
Book SynopsisIn Copy This Book!, Paul J. Heald draws on a vast knowledge of copyright scholarship and a deep sense of irony to explain what's gone wrong with copyright in the twenty-first century. Distilling extensive empirical data to clearly show the implications of copyright laws and doctrine for public welfare, he illustrates his findings with lighthearted references to familiar (and obscure) works and their creators (and sometimes their creators' oddball relations). Among the questions he tackles: How does copyright deter composers from writing new songs? Why are so many famous photographs unprotected orphans, and how does Getty Images get away with licensing them? What can the use of music in movies tell us about the proper length of the copyright term? How do publishers get away with claiming rights in public domain works and extracting unmerited royalties from the public? Heald translates piles of data, complex laws, and mysterious economics, equipping readers with the tools for judging past and future copyright law.Trade Review"Heald has pioneered the use of cleverly gathered evidence to demonstrate copyright law's sometimes perverse effects on important outcomes, such as whether long ago–published books are actually available to consumers today. Both entertaining and authoritative, this wonderful book provides a leading expert's guided tour of copyright." -- Joel Waldfogel * University of Minnesota *"This should be the most important book on copyright policy in America today. Wrapped in a beautifully compelling narrative, the book will quickly become a classic, and hopefully trigger a more classical view of the role of government-backed monopoly in the creation and spread of culture and knowledge." -- Lawrence Lessig * Harvard University *"This book is so engaging and sensible. This will sound ridiculous, but I can't put it down." -- Saul Levmore * University of Chicago *

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Right of Communication to the Public in EU
Book SynopsisThis monograph conducts a comprehensive analysis of the EU right of communication to the public, one of the exclusive rights under EU copyright law, and provides an alternative framework for its interpretation and application. The present state of the law is unsatisfactory; there is uncertainty in the acquis communautaire and courts at the EU and domestic levels have struggled to apply the right. Therefore, the book identifies the problems with the existing right of communication to the public and proposes recommendations for reform. In addition to reforming the scope of the right of communication to the public, the jurisdiction and applicable law in relation to the right are analysed and changes are recommended. Thus, the book covers both the scope and practicalities of a coherent and effective reform of the right. In light of the continuing development and accompanying tribulations with this right at the EU level, this book provides a topical and timely analysis that will be of interest to academics and practitioners working on EU copyright law.

The book would therefore appeal to anyone with an interest in communication to the public, and an open mind to how this messy area of law might be tidied up!

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Performing Copyright: Law, Theatre and Authorship
Book SynopsisBased on empirical research, this innovative book explores issues of performativity and authorship in the theatre world under copyright law and addresses several inter-connected questions: who is the author and first owner of a dramatic work? Who gets the credit and the licensing rights? What rights do the performers of the work have? Given the nature of theatre as a medium reliant on the re-use of prior existing works, tropes, themes and plots, what happens if an allegation of copyright infringement is made against a playwright? Furthermore, who possesses moral rights over the work? To evaluate these questions in the context of theatre, the first part of the book examines the history of the dramatic work both as text and as performative work. The second part explores the notions of authorship and joint authorship under copyright law as they apply to the actual process of creating plays, referring to legal and theatrical literature, as well as empirical research. The third part looks at the notion of copyright infringement in the context of theatre, noting that cases of alleged theatrical infringement reach the courts comparatively rarely in comparison with music cases, and assessing the reasons for this with respect to empirical research. The fourth part examines the way moral rights of attribution and integrity work in the context of theatre. The book concludes with a prescriptive comment on how law should respond to the challenges provided by the theatrical context, and how theatre should respond to law. Very original and innovative, this book proposes a ground-breaking empirical approach to study the implications of copyright law in society and makes a wonderful case for the need to consider the reciprocal influence between law and practice.Trade ReviewThis is a well-researched book, providing arguments from both theoretical and empirical perspectives … the book’s approach to copyright and authorship generally, would appeal to all copyright professionals and particularly to theatre practitioners and scholars. The book is unreservedly recommended. -- Karnika Bansal, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia * European Intellectual Property Review *This book will appeal to readers interested in copyright and theatre specifically, but also those with interests in copyright, creativity and joint-authorship. -- Hayleigh Bosher * The IPKat *This book has the potential to do something: to provoke change. Perhaps its greatest strength is in putting lawyers, practitioners, and scholars in conversation with each other. -- Jane Wessel * The New Rambler *Performing Copyright fills a gap in academic scholarship pertaining to theatre and the law … [the book] does an insightful job of exploring the evolution of normative theatre practices in tandem with the substantive law governing the protection and exclusivity of dramatic performances as works … I recommend this book for academic, courthouse, and public law libraries, as well as law firm libraries that serve entertainment law practice groups. It will resonate with intellectual property lawyers, academics, and librarians interested in nuanced applications of intellectual property rights in both conventional and non-conventional contexts. -- Dominique Garingan, Library Manager, Calgary Parlee McLaws LLP * Canadian Law Library Review *Table of Contents1.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Copyright and Patent Laws for the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Book SynopsisThis book responds to the need to distinguish human creations from those produced by AI.It does so by tracing the human attributes of authorship and inventorship in the requirements for protection and ownership in European copyright and patent laws. Its main contribution lies in exposing shortcomings in how the laws are applied in the UK, Germany, and France. It shows that the human origin of creations is traditionally inferred from their expressive form or technical character. Given the advancements in AI, such inferences are no longer legitimate. What is more, these shortcomings may eventually lead to granting copyright or patent protection where none is lawfully permitted or sufficiently justified.To remedy the situation, this book offers doctrinal solutions such as refining the concepts of authorship and inventorship to better reflect the human creativity underpinnings of copyright and patent laws. It also proposes law reforms addressing the disruptive role of AI, eg making disclosure duties more robust.This book guides authorities, practitioners, and students to better understand the problem of copyright and patents for objects entirely or partly generated by AI. It also advances the ongoing academic and policy debates on AI and intellectual property law.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Copyright & the Orphan Works Issue
Book SynopsisOrphan works are perceived to be inaccessible because of the risk of infringement liability that a user might incur if and when a copyright owner subsequently appears. Consequently, many works that are, in fact, abandoned by owners are withheld from public view and circulation because of uncertainty about the owner and the risk of liability. This book defines the problems it identifies, and concludes that the problem is indeed real and should be addressed legislatively. It analyses stakeholders'' views on the issue and constraints on solutions imposed by the structure of U.S. copyright law and international copyright obligations. The book sets forth a proposal to amend the Copyright Act by adding a provision that would limit liability for infringing use of orphan works when, prior to use, a user performs a reasonably diligent search for the copyright owner and provides attribution to the author and copyright owner, if possible. This book consists of public documents which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to provide easy access.

This book examines the important issues that were raised by the outcome of the Google Library Project, and analyse possible future cases which may raise similar questions about infringing reproduction and fair use. The authors also discuss hyperlinking, in-line linking, caching, framing and thumbnails and how they relate to a copyright holder''s traditional rights to control reproduction, display, and distribution of protected works. This book consists of public documents which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to provide easy access.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Pre-1972 Sound Recordings: Copyright Protection,
Book SynopsisThe body of pre-1972 sound recordings is vast. Commercially released "popular" recordings come most readily to mind -- from Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald to the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. But pre-1972 commercial recordings encompass a wide range of genres: ragtime and jazz, rhythm and blues, gospel, country and folk music, classical recordings, spoken word recordings and many others. Some remain popular; others have long since faded from memory and are of interest only to scholars. There are, in addition, many unpublished recordings such as journalists'' tape, oral histories, and ethnographic and folklore recordings. There are also recordings of old radio broadcasts, which were publicly disseminated by virtue of the broadcast, but in many cases are technically unpublished under the standards of the U.S. Copyright Act. These recordings are a rich aspect of this country''s cultural heritage, and it is important to ensure that they will be preserved and accessible for researchers and scholars, as well as to future generations. This book provides an overview of the Copyright Office''s research and public outreach concerning the legal treatment of pre-1972 sound recordings. It explains the process by which the Office undertook its research; describes the comments received as well as the views expressed at the public meetings; and explains the Office''s recommendations and the reasons for them.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Copyright & the Music Marketplace: Analysis,
Book SynopsisThe United States has the most innovative and influential music culture in the world, but much of the legal framework for licensing of music dates back to the early part of the twentieth century, long before the digital revolution in music. Our licensing system is founded on a view that the music marketplace requires a unique level of government regulation, much of it reflected in statutory licensing provisions of the Copyright Act. The Copyright Office believes that the time is ripe to question the existing paradigm for the licensing of musical works and sound recordings and consider meaningful change. This book provides an analysis, discusses challenges and recommendations for improvement of the copyright laws in the music marketplace

Fairleigh Dickinson University Press Enter the Undead Author: Intellectual Property,
Book SynopsisMany narratives of theater history suggest that the 1960s marked the start of a turning away from traditional, script-based, playwright-centric production practices. Literary studies in this period began exploring the concept of the “death of the author” along similar lines. But the author refused to die quietly, and authorship reasserts itself in even revolutionary and avant-garde theaters throughout the latter half of the twentieth century. The model of authorship—valorizing individuality, ownership, and originality—serves to maintain traditional modes of production that reproduce and uphold dominant ideologies even when the products created by those modes of production claim to buck tradition or run counter to cultural currents. This ideology of authorship plays a part in playwrights shutting down productions of their own plays, in the privileging of individual authorship over joint authorship even in collaborative genres, and in the insistence on originality even in performance traditions rooted in a shared repertoire. This tension between the theoretical death of the author and the growth of actual authors’ abilities to control access to and even in some cases interpretations of their work exposes the deftness with which dominant ideologies and their attendant modes of production can repurpose the aesthetics of even countercultural or revolutionary movements in theater.Table of ContentsPreface Introduction Chapter 1. 1984: The Author as Owner Chapter 2. “A Necessary Myth”: The Author as Individual Chapter 3.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd A Shifting Empire: 100 Years of the Copyright Act
Book SynopsisThe 1911 Copyright Act, often termed the 'Imperial Copyright Act', changed the jurisprudential landscape in respect of copyright law, not only in the United Kingdom but also within the then Empire. This book offers a bird's eye perspective of why and how the first global copyright law launched a new order, often termed the 'common law copyright system'.This carefully researched and reflective work draws upon some of the best scholarship from Australia, Canada, India, Israel, Jamaica, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa and United Kingdom. The authors - academics and practitioners alike - situate the Imperial Copyright Act 1911 within their national laws, both historically and legally. In doing so, the book queries the extent to which the ethos and legacy of the 1911 Copyright Act remains within indigenous laws.A Shifting Empire offers a unique global, historical view of copyright development and will be a valuable resource for policymakers, academic scholars and members of international copyright associations.Contributors include: T.G.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Harmonising Copyright Law and Dealing with
Book SynopsisThe book reads so easily you hardly notice the erudition that has gone into it. Whether the authors are right in thinking harmonisation would be easier than is supposed is an open question - one they make you think about seriously.'- Rt Hon Sir Robin Jacob, University College London, UKThis insightful study explores the constitutional, institutional, and cultural barriers to harmonisation of the copyright laws of the United States and the European Union. It considers these matters in the real world transnational environment in which copyright law operates and suggests that the reality transcends the differences, offering a framework for meaningful harmonisation.The authors examine in detail and offer a critique of the sporadic and historic attempts at one or another form of harmonisation, via treaty and otherwise, from the creation of a minimal standards regime to the proliferation of substantive treaties. They similarly examine the respective competencies of the US and the EU to adopt a transnational regime, and propose a workable framework consistent with these competencies.Offering a critical analysis of treaties and other prior attempts at forms of harmonization, this book will have special appeal to governmental and nongovernmental individuals involved in the ongoing efforts of WIPO and the WTO, as well as copyright and intellectual property practitioners with internationally oriented practices.Contents: 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Originality in EU Copyright: Full Harmonization
Book Synopsis'This book guides us expertly through the controversial area of originality, a concept which lies at the very foundation of copyright law, but which has never before been analysed in any depth as a topic in its own right. Originality has however now become a hot topic, given the controversial recent case law of the EU Court of Justice on it, and the manner in which some national courts in the EU are seeking to apply it, which makes this book especially timely.'- Trevor Cook, Bird & Bird LLP, UK'This text has been well drafted and documented, the legal analysis is sound and competent and the author manages to provide useful insights into UK and US law. She also manages to put her subject in perspective, taking into account the inevitable policy issues, which, however, could be extended to what the actual role of the court is in the much-debated EU copyright harmonisation. I strongly recommend reading this book.'- Irini Stamatoudi, European Intellectual Property ReviewFull harmonization of the copyright laws of EU Member States has long been a holy grail for copyright lawyers, but with the reality thus far being only limited harmonization resulting from ad-hoc legislative interventions, there are serious questions over the feasibility and indeed desirability of this goal. Notwithstanding, as this book makes eloquently clear, whilst legislative initiatives have been limited, the CJEU has been acting proactively, establishing through its decisional practice the de facto harmonization of an important principle of copyright: the originality requirement.Through an assessment of the originality requirement, this work guides the reader in interpreting judicial decisions which are of fundamental importance to current and future understanding of EU copyright. The book's holistic approach and methodology takes in analysis of; recent decisions of the CJEU in light of broader EU copyright reform debate; the implications of CJEU case law in Member States which have traditionally adopted different approaches to copyright (eg the UK); the originality requirement in EU, UK and continental Member States; recent UK decisions from an EU perspective; and academic copyright reform projects, both in Europe and the US.Originality in EU Copyright will appeal to academics, policymakers and EU officers, students, practitioners and in-house counsels.Contents: Foreword Table of Cases (in Chronological Order) Table of EU/EC/EEC Legislation (in Chronological Order) Table of EU/EC Policy Documents (in Chronological Order) Introduction 1.

Facet Publishing Information Law: Compliance for librarians,
Book SynopsisLibrary, information and knowledge professionals are often at the front line of managing and monitoring their organisation’s legal compliance and have roles and responsibilities in both complying with the law and taking advantage of its provisions. To do their jobs effectively, they need not only to understand the law, but also to develop the skills, confidence and organisational policy frameworks to apply the law’s principles to their context of use. They need the knowledge and skills to help them decide what is acceptable and to develop appropriate risk aware approaches when things are not clear-cut. Information Law: Compliance for librarians, information professionals and knowledge managers provides an overview of important information law issues along with tools and guidance to help readers establish a framework so that their organisation can both comply with its legal responsibilities and support a suitably risk aware environment which optimises access and use. Based on the authors’ many years in professional practice and on their proven ‘Compliance Methodology’, it will help readers understand the legal issues that are central to the information they hold or that they wish to access.

A "must have" for law school libraries and serious students of international copyright regulations, as well as professionals in the field.’ -- Midwest Book Review‘This book will definitely become a vital source for courses on international intellectual property. It is not only well organised, but is excellently presented. I think the book should become a source for basic copyright courses in which academics mainly deal with local laws. This book contributes to existing literature. True, it is a primer, but a primer that does not only make international copyright law accessible to students and practitioners. I think it also shows the great success of the international intellectual property system and why we need to remain attentive to the international community and appraise its achievements.’ -- Lior Zemer, European Intellectual Property Review'International copyright and related rights take on an ever more important role.
