International Copyright: Principles, Law, and Practice

This is an indispensable one-volume reference for practitioners and scholars of international copyright. It is a unique synthesis of copyright practice and law, taking into account the Bern Convention of 1989, the TRIPs Agreement concluded five years later, and the advent of the Internet. Major topics include the principles that underlie the common law and civil law of copyright and author's right and the international treaty arrangements that bind them together; the international and comparative law of copyright, author's right, and neighboring rights; and the governing rules of private international law that regulate litigation and transactional practice in the area.
