Copyright and Piracy: An Interdisciplinary Critique in Bloomington, MN

Copyright has been the subject of interdisciplinary inquiry, but generally from the perspective of ‘authorship'. This volume takes a different tack, examining the concept of infringement and its cousins, imitation and inspiration, from a variety of approaches. Rather than proposing a litany of discrete chapters each independently covering a different discipline, the Editors have planned each chapter to pair lawyers' and non lawyers' perspectives, so that each commentator addresses and critiques his or her counterpart's analysis.
