This book addresses the key issues, challenges and implications
arising out of changes in the copyright law and corresponding
judicial responses. Using concrete examples, the book does not
assume any prior knowledge of copyright law, but brings together
leading intellectual property researchers to consider the
significant role of copyright law in shaping the needs of the
modern digital world. It provides an insight into two distinct
arenas: copyright and digital media. The exponential increase in
the ability to multiply and disseminate information by digital
means has sparked numerous conflicts pertaining to copyright - and
in turn has prompted lawmakers to expand the scope of copyright
protection in the digital age. Bearing in mind the new questions
that the advent of the digital age has raised on the role and
function of copyright, the book presents a collection of papers
largely covering new frontiers and changing horizons especially in
this area. The contributions intensively address core issues
including the exhaustion principle, copyright and digital media,
liability of hosting service providers, the originality
requirement, accessibility to published works for the visually
disabled, criminalization of copyright infringement, and software
protection under copyright law, among others. Consisting of 14
papers, this book will be equally interesting to researchers,
policymakers, practitioners and lawmakers, especially those active
in the field of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR).

In the 21st century, one of the most noteworthy changes in the
human rights debate relates to the increased recognition of the
link between business and human rights. This book is an attempt to
explore this relationship and also to look into the obligations of
the state and transnational corporations in the promotion of human
rights. Business and Human Rights discusses how globalization has
affected individuals in the enjoyment of their human rights in
relation to the activities of corporations. The book addresses what
additional steps the states should take to protect against human
rights abuses by business enterprises that are owned or controlled
by the state. Moreover, it covers, in depth, the role and
contribution of the United Nations in business and human rights.
The book includes several real-life case studies to help the
readers understand the topics discussed.
