Through five editions since 1981, this book has offered the most comprehensive accessible guide available to all aspects of copyright law. Now, with the sixth edition, The Copyright Book has been thoroughly updated to cover copyright for the Internet age, discussing a range of developments in the law since 2000. The only book written for nonlawyers that covers the entire field of copyright law, it is essential reading for authors, artists, creative people in every medium, the companies that hire them, users of copyrighted material, and anyone with an interest in copyright law from a policy perspective. New material includes greatly expanded coverage of infringement and fair use, with detailed discussion of recent decisions, including the Grateful Dead, Google, and HathiTrust cases. The new edition considers such topics as open access, the defeat of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), file sharing, e-reserves, the status of "orphan works," and the latest developments under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). The sixth edition also brings up to date The Copyright Book's plain English explanation of such fundamental topics as authorship and ownership; transfers and licenses of copyright; copyright notice; registration of copyright (including the new online registration and "preregistration" systems); the scope of rights included in copyright, and exceptions to those rights; "moral rights"; compulsory licenses; tax treatment of copyright; and international aspects of copyright law. As copyright issues grow ever more complicated, The Copyright Book becomes ever more indispensable.

As copyright issues grow more complicated, this guide to US copyright law becomes ever more indispensable. The fifth edition has been updated to include recent judicial and legislative decisions concerning copyright and the debates surrounding publication on the Web and other new media. What continue to distinguish the book are the author's common sense and his ability to express complex issues and judicial decisions in language that the lay reader can understand and even enjoy.

This book by a lawyer who specializes in copyright gives practical advice in plain language on current copyright laws and practices. He defines the rights of both originators and users and describes the varieties of materials—literary, scientific, musical, filmic—that can be registered. Information on registration, protection, licensing, and transfer of copyright is included along with a chapter covering copyright of works created prior to the revised 1978 law. Most of the changes in this new edition are updates of legal issues. The section on the copyrighting of software has been expanded and updated, and the problems of copyright in computer music are also addressed. Other updated areas include: the amount of originality required for a derivative work to be eligible for copyright, copyrighting of confidential materials, artists' rights in their works after sale, the Betamax decision on home copying of televised material, and the status of foreign manufactured copies of literary modes. The forms and other supplementary data in the appendices have all been updated as well.
