Copyright Illuminated: Refocusing the Diffuse US Statute

Although the volume collects articles originally published between 1988 and 2006 (mostly in the past few years), Nimmer has scrupulously updated the texts and woven them together into a unified whole. What the book offers as a result is a microscopic scrutiny of the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976 and all its amendments, with an immeasurable abundance of interpretation grounded in the author's unmatched familiarity with the law and its application. This is a work that no lawyer handling copyright cases - or indeed no student or scholar of any branch of intellectual property law - will want to be without.
