Critical Acclaim
‘This is an exceptional collection of scholarly contemporary thoughts on the future directions of copyright law. . . The contributors to this volume come from many jurisdictions and bring with them their respective rich backgrounds and experiences in copyright law. The result is an enlightening collection of papers.’
– Yee Fen Lim, Journal of Intellectual Property Law and Practice
‘Every one of the first five volumes in Edward Elgar’s New Directions in Copyright Law series has been warmly welcomed by the IPKat and this, the sixth edition, is no exception. . . this series has turned regular thinking on copyright inside-out and upside-down.’
– IPKat.com
Acclaim for volume 5:
‘A richly diverse and interdisciplinary collection of studies of modern copyright, drawing not only on law but also on insights drawn from history, economics, philosophy and political theory. The importance of human rights for copyright and IPRs generally emerges clearly from the first group of papers, while the easy assumption that copyright develops in response to new technologies is significantly challenged in the second group. An international cast of authors ensures that the coverage is global, while never losing sight of the different ways in which particular issues play out in local contexts.’
– Hector MacQueen, University of Edinburgh, UK
Acclaim for volume 4:
‘The fourth volume of this excellent series does not disappoint. Spanning topics within and intersecting copyright as diverse as market power, paternity rights and cultural property, the book provides an interesting range of frameworks with which to consider various aspects of copyright law.’
– Louise Buckingham, Copyright Reporter
