'This brilliant amalgam of law, history, social analysis and some
Confucian philosophy argues for a distinctive Chinese approach to
copyright and the public interest, aligning not only the Western
commitment to individual creativity but also supporting public
access to and use of works without the consent of the copyright
holder. The argument involves fascinating analysis, not only of
evolving Chinese attitudes to education, libraries, archives and
censorship, but also of the profound significance of the Internet
in China today.' - Hector MacQueen, University of Edinburgh, UKGuan
Hong Tang expertly highlights how the multidimensional concept of
public interest has influenced the development and limitations of
Chinese copyright. Since 1990 China has awarded copyright -
individual rights - but also provides for public, non-criminal
enforcement. The author reveals that pressures of development,
globalization and participation in a world economy have hastened
the loss of public interest from copyright. However, for a
socialist country, placing the common ahead of the individual
interest, the public interest also constitutes a phenomenological
tool with which to limit copyright. The author also discusses how
the rise of the Internet, which has had a major social and economic
impact on China, raises problems for Chinese copyright law.
Comparing Chinese copyright law with the USA and the UK, topical
issues are presented in this unique book including those arising
within education, library and archives sectors. This insightful
book will strongly appeal to students and researchers in IP law,
comparative law, Chinese studies, international commerce and
information science. It will also prove invaluable for lawyers and
consultants with expertise in IP and China.
