Durationator Copyright Files: Foundational Concepts in Usability (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781734127171)

Durationator Copyright Files: Foundational Concepts in Usability is the first book to bring together the research of the Durationator Copyright System. The book sets out to understand the boundaries of copyright, including how long copyright lasts. Topics include moral rights, pre-1972 sound recordings, library exceptions, to name just a few topics. The book is also comparative in nature, discussing the Berne Convention and copyright in countries around the world. The approach of the book is to do introduce parts of the 1976 Copyright Act, along with accompanying case law, and in-depth discussions related to both.
