Criminal Copyright

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'Haber has written the definitive examination of the increasing integration between copyright enforcement and criminal law. His exhaustive historical analysis, insightful commentary on current trends, and wise policy recommendations for future reforms are a must-read for anyone concerned with striking the balance between effective copyright protection and avoiding a chilling effect on lawful use of copyrighted works.' Michael Geist, Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-commerce Law, University of Ottawa 'In Criminal Copyright, Eldar Haber skillfully traces the political-legal process of the criminalization of copyright law. He uncovers and scrutinizes the justifications of this unusual enforcement measure, and offers a powerful argument against such criminalization. Criminal Copyright places an important warning and offers crucial guidance for policy-makers, authors and users.' Michael Birnhack, Tel-Aviv University 'With criminal enforcement of intellectual property on the rise, we need to better understand the implications of criminalizing the unauthorized use of creative works. Haber offers a rigorous overview of criminal copyright, which tackles some of the most challenging questions in copyright law nowadays. This book is not only a must-read for scholars of copyright law, but also offers a useful framework to policymakers in crafting the scope of public enforcement.' Niva Elkin-Koren, Director of the Haifa Center for Law and Technology, University of Haifa and Harvard University, Massachusetts
