The Ninth Edition of Copyright emphasizes the fundamentals of copyright law, but it remains distinctive in giving substantial attention to related topics that affect the exploitation of works of authorship, including moral rights, unfair competition, and the right of publicity. The Ninth Edition supplements traditional case and statutory analysis with a rich collection of background materials that highlight recent developments and emerging policy debates, especially the challenges created by the distribution of works in digital form. Despite the breadth of coverage, the new edition is manageable in size and is organized to accommodate either a two- or three-credit course.
