Reviews / Votes
Covering all recent relevant legislative developments, notably in network communications in the digital age, this up-to-date and compact quick-reference guide should be considered a must-have purchase for any practitioner involved with any matter relating to copyright -- Elizabeth Robson Taylor, Richmond Green Chambers and Phillip Taylor MBE, Head of Chambers The headings, layout, diagrams and language make this very much a useful practitioner's book. It is easy to use which is tremendously helpful in practice. It lives up to its name-a User's Guide to Copyright. Although it may be practical and helpful, the book also has all the characteristics a reader needs to check thoroughly the relevant case law and statutes. There are full tables of cases and everything else to be expected in a thorough law book. -- Susan Singleton * European Intellectual Property Review *More details
