Dem Bundesgerichtshof ist dabei eine grundlegende Aufgabe �bertragen worden. Anhand von ca. 100 Entscheidungen des BGH und Kurzkommentierungen werden rechtspolitische bzw. dogmatische Probleme des Urheberrechtsund f�r deren Rechtsanwendung dargelegt. Da das nationale Urheberrecht besonders im Fokus der europ�ischen Richtlinienpolitik steht, sind f�r den BGH ebenso die Entscheidungen des EuGH und des BVerfG zum Urheberrecht von Bedeutung, die in der Entscheidungssammlung ber�cksichtigt werden. Die ausgew�hlten Entscheidungen des BGH mit den entsprechenden Kurzkommentierungen bilden ein Grundger�st f�r das Verst�ndnis des Urheberrechts und dessen Grundfragen im Zeitalter des Internets und der Digitalisierung.
