'Copyright law has always somehow managed to adapt to new
technological and social developments as well as to new artistic
and creative practices. However, every time such a development
occurs, the legitimate question arises if the system is adaptable
or if the breakthrough is so gigantic that a new system needs to be
elaborated. In any case, new scholarly reflections are needed in
regular intervals and that is exactly the purpose of this
fascinating edited collection by Enrico Bonadio and Nicola Lucchi
on non-conventional copyright, exploring from various angles the
copyright issues of all sorts of creations ranging from
unconventional art forms, new music and atypical cultural practices
to new advances in technology, not forgetting to investigate the
delicate issues around copyright on illegal and immoral works.' -
Christophe Geiger, University of Strasbourg, France Copyright law
constantly evolves to keep up with societal changes and
technological advances. Contemporary forms of creativity can
threaten the comfortable conceptions of copyright law as creative
people continually find new ways of expressing themselves. In this
context, Non-Conventional Copyright identifies possible new spaces
for copyright protection. With current copyright law in mind, the
contributions explore if the law should be more flexible as to
whether new or unconventional forms of expression - including
graffiti, tattoos, land art, conceptual art and bio art, engineered
DNA, sport movements, jokes, magic tricks, DJ sets, perfume making,
typefaces, or illegal and immoral works - deserve protection.
Vitally, the contributors suggest that it may be time to challenge
some of the basic tenets of copyright laws by embracing more
flexible ways to identify protectable works and interpret the
current requirements for protection. Additionally, some
contributors cast doubts about whether copyright is the right
instrument to address and regulate these forms of expression.
Contemporary in topic, this thought-provoking book will be
essential reading for intellectual property law scholars,
practitioners and policymakers. Creative people and those involved
in the creative industries will also find this book an engaging
read. Contributors include: E. Bonadio, S. Burke, C. Cronin, T.
