International Copyright. Principles, Law, and Practice, Second Edition

Abstract

This book divides into two parts. Part One (Chapters 1 through 5) describes the general principles of international copyright and the structure of the main conventions. Following Chapter 2, which sets out the historic traditions of copyright, Chapter 3 describes the substance and structure of the principal international, regional, and bilateral conventions in the field of copyright and neighboring rights. Chapter 4 discusses the principles of territoriality and national treatment that underlie these conventions and examines the often highly complex issues of private international law: jurisdiction (choice of forum) and conflict of laws (choice of law). Chapter 5 concludes Part One with a discussion of so-called "scope" rules in the international conventions and in national law, which determine the points of attachment that allow foreign authors to enjoy local copyright protection.
Part Two offers a comparative overview of the substantive norms of copyright. Guided by the substantive minima of the main international conventions, this part describes and compares the rules on copyright and neigboring rights found in national laws. Chapter 6 depicts the rules on the subject matter of copyright and neighboring rights, Chapter 7 the rules on authorship and ownership. The terms of protection for copyright and neigboring rights are examined in Chapter 8. Chapter 9 describes the main economic rights protected under copyright and neighboring rights laws, while Chapter 10 focuses on moral rights. Chapter 11 considers limitations and exemptions, and Chapter 12 analyses copyright enforcement remedies and sanctions.
