Synopsis

The new and fully revised edition of this key book is designed to help both practitioners and non-legal professionals understand copyright and design law in the UK, and how it affects you. Split into two easy-to-use sections, with part one containing a detailed breakdown of all relevant UK legislation, and part two applying this legislation to the main industries in which copyright material is commonly exploited. Updated to reflect the emergence of brand-new means of digital exploitation, including peer-to-peer distribution, "A User's Guide to Copyright" clearly illustrates the scope and relevance of copyright law in the new information technology era.

About this title

Review

"This book is more than just a run-of-the-mill guide. It effectively combines practical guidance with a more academic analysis of the rationale behind the current laws and how that may change." MATTHEW BULLEY AND EWAN PARKER - IN-HOUSE LAWYER, NOVEMBER 2006 --MATTHEW BULLEY AND EWAN PARKER - IN-HOUSE LAWYER, NOVEMBER 2006
