Review
"This excellent introduction to copyright law will be welcomed by people who use copyrighted works--teachers, librarians, performers, businesspeople--and the artists and authors who create them... The 11 chapters, all clearly subdivided for easy access, cover topics such as the subjects matter of copyright ownership, transfers of copyright, registering a copyright claim, subsidiary rights, compulsory licenses, and infringement and 'fair' use. A detailed subject index allows ready access to the text."-- "American Reference Books Annual" (review of the first edition)" "This summation and exegesis of the 1978 copyright law is a masterpiece of clarity in a field that sorely needs it. It should be a welcome guide to all who fish in these troubled waters."--Louis Auchincloss
