    Now in its fourth edition, this highly effective text continues to provide students the necessary background and current doctrine with which to properly analyze copyright problems. The primary focus of this comprehensive text is on the Copyright Act of 1976 and the developing case law in our digital age and networked environment. Copyright law is presented in its institutional, economic and historical contexts. Its relationship with other areas of intellectual property law is explored.

    The Fourth Edition of Understanding Copyright Law reflects the case law and statutory developments that have taken place since the third edition was completed in 1999. It incorporates discussions of the “new millennium” case law including the Supreme Court cases New York Times Company, Inc. v. Tasini, Eldred v. Ashcroft, Dastar v. Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation, and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd. Additionally, it covers important post-1999 legislative developments such as the TEACH Act, The Copyright Royalty and Distribution Reform Act (revising the CARP system), and the Family Entertainment and Copyright Act. Further, this new edition reflects the author's reassessment of basic concepts, including: the originality doctrine, the idea/expression dichotomy, the meaning of authorship, and the nature of copyright infringement.
