Rigorous and often thought-provoking in nature, this research Handbook clearly maps the current landscape, and will also undoubtedly stimulate further research in the field.
Analyzing the cutting edge of current copyright research, Copyright Law will be of great interest to researchers, students, practitioners and policymakers.
