Copyright
Law in an Age of Limitations and Exceptions brings together leading
copyright scholars and the field's foremost authorities to consider the
critical role of copyright law in shaping the complex social, economic,
and political interaction critical for cultural productivity and human
flourishing. The book addresses defining issues facing copyright law
today, including justifications for copyright law's limitations and
exceptions (L&Es), the role of authors in copyright, users' rights,
fair use politics and reform, the three-step test in European copyright
law, the idea/expression principle with respect to functional works,
limits on the use of L&Es in scientific innovation, and L&Es as a
tool for economic development in international copyright law. The book
also presents case studies on the historical development of the concept
of 'neighboring rights' and on Harvard Law School's pioneering model of
global copyright education, made possible by the exercise of L&Es
across national borders.
