Digital copyright

Lawyers advising companies on copyright in the digital environment have long had few dependable guides to work from. This reference addresses that gap by examining the area of e-commerce law closely, grounding its discussion in leading case law and in the Digital Copyright Directive that the Council of Ministers of the European Union adopted on 9 April 2001.

The book gathers the relevant material in one place. It combines legal analysis with practical guidance on best practice, along with precedent checklists that practitioners can adapt. It also reproduces the text of the relevant Acts and EU Directives, so readers can consult the primary sources alongside the commentary.

It is intended as a working reference for lawyers and other professionals who advise on digital copyright matters.
