This book critically evaluates the current copyright law system in
a digital environment from a comparative perspective. Since many
developing countries modelled their copyright laws on more advanced
jurisdictions, they have not benefitted from such a law as much as
intended due to their inherently embedded social economic
conditions. Moreover, the copyright law system has been under
constant challenges from rapidly developing digital technology and
the Internet. All in all, there is a pressing need for developing
countries to reevaluate their copyright law in light of their
national needs, the developmental stage of their economy, their
culture and tradition, and their legal system. The book poses the
question of whether copyright law should be reformed to fulfill its
fundamental purpose of serving education and research that are in
the public interest in the digital era? It examines whether the
legal frameworks adequately address developing countries'
educational and research requirements in view of the opportunities
and restrictions posed by electronic communication media. Further,
it provides a comprehensive study that addresses the various
critical issues relevant to the reform of the copyright law system
and offers recommendations for developing countries to revamp their
copyright law system to better serve their education and research
sector.
