Description

Copyright Law: Cases and Materials is a casebook designed for a one-semester course on copyright law. The doctrinal principles of copyright law are presented primarily through edited judicial decisions, each followed by interactive “check your understanding” questions that include detailed explanations for correct and incorrect answers. A short list of “things to consider” is provided immediately prior to each decision, designed to orient students to particularly significant aspects of the decision and provide a more focused reading experience. The book also includes narrative sections that introduce or summarize some of the subject matter. The major doctrines of copyright law are systematically explored, including a chapter devoted to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) safe harbors and another chapter addressing recent cases involving copyright law and generative artificial intelligence (AI).
