Technical developments and the information society have put considerable strains on the copyright system and Copyright and the Public Interest is a thought-provoking contribution to the ongoing debate on public policy in relation to copyright reform and harmonisation internationally. The book is presented in four parts. Part I provides an introduction to the concept of the public interest in the copyright system and explores the underlying principles governing copyright legislation, as well as its origins in Western Europe. Part II reviews the concept of thepublic interest in the history of copyright in the UK, the USA, France and Germany, covering legislation, case law and literature to the summer of 2002. Part III deals with copyright and public policy, considering the moral and economic functions of copyright in relation to the alternatives and the limitations imposed on copyright in the public interest by national laws and the international Conventions. Part IV, which is new to the second edition, discusses the future of copyright. It examines the impact of digital technology on copyright and the legal frameworks required for protection in the world of the Internet. The extent to which recent international developments, such as the WIPO Internet Treaties of 1996 and the European Union Directive on Copyright and Related Rights in the Information Society 2001, have taken account of the public interest are analysed for the first time. A new chapter considers the international protection of copyright and the obstacles to and perspectives for further international harmonisation. In conclusion, the role of the State as arbiter of the copyright system is discussed.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49584566468881,"sku":"GOR006638163","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0421742909.jpg?v=1751134472"},{"product_id":"copyright-law-for-artists-photographers-and-designers-book-gillian-davies-9781408124741","title":"Copyright Law for Artists, Photographers and Designers","description":"This is an artists' guide to their rights under copyright law - whether  they have been commissioned to do some work, if the works are  transformed into different media, resale rights, 'substantial copying',  marketing and promo literature, multiple copyrights, dealing with  groups such as DACS and putting your work into art libraries and visual  search engines. Copyright law is a grey area for many artists and yet  it is vitally important that they understand what their rights are and  how to make money from these rights. In this book, the author dispels a  lot of the myths that have grown up about the subject and explains the  do's and don'ts and the pros and cons of how to make the most of  artists' copyright entitlements. This is a useful guide for anyone  working in the field of the arts.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49635398156561,"sku":"GOR005575926","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1408124742.jpg?v=1751448022"},{"product_id":"wine-of-dreams-book-brian-craig-9781841541235","title":"The Wine of Dreams","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50192977035537,"sku":"CIN1841541230G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50808905629969,"sku":"GOR002042418","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":51325731373329,"sku":"CIN1841541230A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51362254946577,"sku":"GOR001829511","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1841541230.jpg?v=1750930658"},{"product_id":"design-history-papers-book-gillian-davies-9781979051453","title":"Design History Papers","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52765515776273,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52765515874577,"sku":"NIN9781979051453","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781979051453.jpg?v=1763635795"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-gillian-davies.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
