Comprehensive and up-to-date, this collection of contributions on
EU copyright law signals the emergence of a truly European body of
legal commentary on copyright law. The authors, many of them very
distinguished, hail from 9 different Member States. As a result,
the book contains a wealth of references not only to EU authorities
but also to national laws and decisions. Moreover, in addition to
covering general principles of European copyright, and analyzing
each copyright Directive, the book examines future prospects for
copyright in the EU.' - Jane Ginsburg, Columbia Law School, USThis
authoritative reference work presents comprehensive
article-by-article commentary on each of the EU Directives in the
field of copyright, as well as analysis of the underlying basic
concepts and principles such as free movement and
non-discrimination. Published as part of the Elgar Commentaries
series, this unique book describes and analyses each EU directive
in turn, taking into account all recent legislative amendments and
pending initiatives in the context of the EU Digital Agenda, as
well as the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union.
With a clear structure allowing readers to navigate quickly to a
specific point, the book not only sets out the law, but boldly
discusses challenges for the future that will underpin copyright in
the years to come. It also presents ongoing discussions in WIPO and
assesses the role of copyright in society and economy both from an
EU and an international perspective. EU Copyright Law is a seminal
commentary work from a team of leading experts in the field
combining aspects of theory and practice and placing copyright in
perspective. It will be an indispensable reference tool for
academics, researchers, practitioners and policymakers in copyright
law and comparative law. Contributors: G. Davies, E. Derclaye, B.
