Cambridge University Press Copyright and Collective Authorship
Book SynopsisAs technology makes it easier for people to work together, large-scale collaboration is becoming increasingly prevalent. In this context, the question of how to determine authorship and hence ownership - of copyright in collaborative works is an important question to which current copyright law fails to provide a coherent or consistent answer. In Copyright and Collective Authorship, Daniela Simone engages with the problem of how to determine the authorship of highly collaborative works. Employing insights from the ways in which collaborators understand and regulate issues of authorship, the book argues that a recalibration of copyright law is necessary, proposing an inclusive and contextual approach to joint authorship that is true to the legal concept of authorship but is also more aligned with creative reality.Trade Review'Cited by the Court of Appeal of England and Wales in Kogan v Martin [2019] EWCA 1645.''Dr Daniela Simone identifies root causes of the deficiencies in the law's treatment of (joint) authorship, and provides an admirable roadmap and analytical framework to orient the judiciary and all others concerned about ascertaining who should be the authors of collective works … A must-read for anyone interested in the interaction between law and the creative process. This book made me think differently about copyright law and what it promotes and values when it comes to (not) recognizing those who contribute to the creation of works.' Pascale Chapdelaine, Intellectual Property Journal'By and large, the book makes a compelling case for taking collaborative creativity seriously in the long-lasting process of the modernisation of copyright law … also a valuable input for further evidence-based research on the effectiveness of co-authorship rules at national, supranational and international level.' Giulia Priora, European Intellectual Property ReviewTable of Contents1. Copyright law and collective authorship; 2. Authorship and joint authorship; 3. Wikipedia; 4. Australian Indigenous art; 5. Scientific collaborations; 6. Film; 7. Characteristics of collective authorship and the role of copyright law; 8. An inclusive, contextual approach to the joint authorship test.

MO - University of Illinois Press Speech Rights in America
Book SynopsisHow and why the First Amendment fails to protect speech rightsTrade Review"This is a thoughtful analysis ranging over history and recent cases."--Communication Booknotes Quarterly"An important work, offering sophisticated yet engaging analyses of First Amendment law and the media landscape in which we find ourselves in the United States."--Matthew Bunker, Reese Phifer Professor of Journalism, University of Alabama"A forceful and intellectually comprehensive argument that the First Amendment should be a positive, not simply a negative, guarantee that empowers and perhaps obliges government to protect the public ends of free expression. . . . Stein brings a breadth of perspectives and material to the subject that few, if any, have managed to do. Her book is an original and important contribution to our understanding of free expression in America."--Randall P. Bezanson, author of How Free Can the Press Be?

Steerforth Press Blood in the Water: A True Story of Small-Town
Book Synopsis“Fascinating! [A] must-read for all concerned about how humans manage to live together. Or not.” —Margaret Atwood“Superb... an instant true crime classic.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) A masterfully told true story, perfect for fans of Say Nothing and Furious Hours: a brutal murder in a small Nova Scotia fishing community raises urgent questions of right and wrong, and even the very nature of good and evil.In his riveting and meticulously reported final book, Silver Donald Cameron offers a stunning, intricate narrative about a notorious killing and its devastating repercussions. Cameron’s searing, utterly gripping story about one small community raises a disturbing question: Are there times when taking the law into your own hands is not only understandable but the responsible thing to do? In June 2013, three upstanding citizens of a small town on Cape Breton Island murdered their neighbor, Phillip Boudreau, at sea. While out checking their lobster traps, two Landry cousins and skipper Dwayne Samson saw Boudreau in his boat, the Midnight Slider, about to vandalize their lobster traps. Like so many times before, the small-time criminal was about to cost them thousands of dollars out of their seasonal livelihood. Boudreau seemed invincible, a miscreant who would plague the village forever. Meanwhile the police and local officials were frustrated, cowed, and hobbled by shrinking budgets. One of the men took out a rifle and fired four shots at Boudreau and his boat. Was the Boudreau killing cold blooded murder, a direct reaction to credible threats, or the tragic result of local officials failing to protect the community? As many local people have said, if those fellows hadn't killed him, someone else would have...

Book SynopsisCopyrighted works in the form of images, texts, videos and musical works, among others, are being uploaded by social media users and shared amongst one another. 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.
