Description
This unique new information source compares moral rights in more established civil law jurisdictions with those in less developed common law countries. The situation in the UK is contrasted with that in the major jurisdictions of France, Germany, Canada, Australia and the USA, along with several secondary jurisdictions.
Including areas such as copyright, the paternity right, the right to privacy and transmission of moral rights, this book provides a practical and comparative approach to a topic about which little has been written.
* A unique work explaining the full implications of moral rights
* Deals with the gap in knowledge in the UK of moral rights elsewhere
* Includes some of the significant amount of case law in civil law jurisdictions
